A recent inspection of the septic system at the campground showed a number of issues being caused by the dump station to the campground septic system, overloading the system and stopping it from functioning properly.
There is a dump station located nearby at Southbridge Park Domain, 42 St James Street, Southbridge. You can find other dump stations in Selwyn at Selwyn District Council - Dump Stations.
