Department Of Conservation (DOC) Pass

The NZMCA DOC pass is an exclusive arrangement with The Department of Conservation.

The Pass allows members and their occupants to camp in their motor caravans at participating DOC 'Standard camps' without paying the per person overnight fee. There are substantial savings for members when you consider DOC 'Standard camps' charge $5 - $16 per adult and $2.50 - $12 per child, per night.

DOC has over 200 vehicle accessible camping grounds for you to enjoy. Further information on these campsites can be found in the Members' Travel Directory, on DOC’s website, or by downloading the latest DOC campsite booklets:

All pass holders will receive a free copy of these conservation campsite booklets upon receiving a pass.
