The innovative West Coast holiday park at Jacksons Retreat is ideal for your New Zealand campervan or camping holiday. The only holiday park on Alpine State Highway 73, Jacksons Retreat is a purpose-built complex providing unique all-weather covered sites for your campervan, motor home, RV or tent.

The Alpine State Highway 73 linking Christchurch with the West Coast and Glacier Region boasts 360 degree views of 100% New Zealand scenery. The highway has a stunning contrast of alpine ranges, majestic snow-capped peaks, the ever-changing waters of the Taramakau River and striking native rainforest with regal 80ft tall Rimu trees, cascading waterfalls and crystal clear streams. Jacksons Retreat is a 15 acre holiday park nestled among this natural beauty, high up at the base of the prominent Bald Range, 33km north-west of Arthur's Pass and just 1km west of Jackson's Tavern.

Unique Covered Camping & Holiday Park

Large purpose-built barns overlooking the mighty Taramakau River and TranzAlpine Railway provide a covered retreat for the West Coast rains or alpine snows. Campervans and tents can park or pitch in private bays, each with its own large window so you don't miss out on the stunning alpine landscape. The complex is designed to cater for everyone, whether in a campervan or tent. Each covered bay contains a mat, water and power. There is plenty of room for you to move about and you can even enjoy our mobile BBQs.

The large central shared living spaces incorporate a stunning dining area and fully self-catered kitchens with cooking facilities. Modern comfortable lounge chairs and sofas are ideally positioned to take advantage of the views and the warmth and ambience of the log fire in winter. Modern bathroom facilities with ultra clean, modern showers are a delight, and the shower and toilet areas are heated in the winter for your comfort.
