Wet weather not detering campers in Nelson regionBRADEN FASTIER Sonya and James Ramsay, of Oamaru, with their kids Neve, 11, Fern, 7, and Art, 5. Campground managers around the region say the wet weather hasn't affected bookings with the warm temperatures seeing campers stick around. However, with more wet weather forecast they are waiting to see how the rest of the season shapes up. Clarke said Pohara had a microclimate and the weather forecast for the region often didn't turn out to be right. They potentially missed out on people wanting to camp at their site because of a bad weather forecast which wouldn't eventuate.
