Rock Bivy

Rock Bivy is a basic natural shelter offering minimal backcountry accommodation in a remote location. This type of site typically provides no facilities, so trampers must be fully self-sufficient and practise Leave No Trace principles. As a rock bivouac, it offers protection from the elements for experienced backcountry users comfortable with primitive camping conditions. Water may be available from nearby streams but should be treated before use. This is a free site requiring no booking, suited to those seeking an authentic wilderness experience. Contact the Department of Conservation or relevant land manager to confirm current access, condition and any restrictions before planning your trip.
