Hangdog Camp - Paynes Ford,NZ - Possible closure? 6-May-2010 At 8:24:21 AM cragrat

Message

Without a doubt there are many, many overseas climbers who have been to NZ climbing over the years and enjoyed the relaxed casual camping haven in Golden Bay that is Hangdog Camp run by the Butler Family for over 10 years now.

It seems that the local council deems it to be unfit to be a campground and is temporarily closing it until certain amenities are provided.

It would be great if people could let the Tasman District Council know how much Hangdog has to offer in it's current rustic form (as outlined well by Nick Taylor) in the facebook post.

Sensible submissions should be sent to :

There is a Facebookgroup for hangdog which has some mention of it

The NZAC is getting involved but weight of public opinion has been known to influence politicians ...
