What is Camp Epic?
Camp Epic is a private fully-serviced campground located at Piropiro in Pureora Forest Park. Camp Epic has been designed to enable you to experience the beauty of the surrounding native forest and all it has to offer. Sleep on comfortable warm beds in our large canvas tents, waking up to a variety of bird song. Cook a delicious meal in our camp kitchen or over the camp fire. Relax and socialise with other guests under the uninterrupted starry sky with a drink or toasting marshmallows. Refresh in our hot showers looking out at the stunning native forest.
