However, Glendhu Bay Campers Association president Doug Fraser said there had been positive outcomes from the meetings he had attended concerning possible changes at the campground. Mr Fraser, who has been holidaying at the Glendhu Bay campground for over 70 years, said being in close proximity to friends and family was a tradition for many campers. Glendhu Bay Motor camp, home to visitors from across the country and beyond, is currently fully booked. "Glendhu Bay isn’t a cheap holiday any more — it costs about the same as any other campground in the area," she said. When the Otago Daily Times visited the Glendhu Bay campsite this week, a sign outside notified that the campsite was fully booked.
