The Gore District Council is advising the community the Gore Camping Ground will close, with camping operations at the site scheduled to finish on 30 January 2026.
The Gore District Council and 4 Trades Limited, lessee of the Gore Camping Ground, have confirmed the termination of the existing lease and the closure of the camping ground.

All current occupants will leave the site by this date, and the lessee will remove
remaining property over the following weeks. The lease itself will end on 27 February 2026.

Gore mayor, Ben Bell was pleased to hear the matter had been resolved.
“We are pleased to be bringing this matter to a close. The campground has been a
longstanding concern with many members in our community, and we can now look forward to further community discussion about the best use for this site moving forward.”

Gore District Council Chief Executive Debbie Lascelles acknowledged the uncertainty the closure has created for some staying at the campground.
“We understand this has been a challenging period for those affected. We want to thank occupants for the respect, patience and cooperation they have shown while these matters have been worked through. Our focus now is ensuring the transition is handled as smoothly as possible.”
