The Department of Conservation (Doc) is hoping to attract lease interest from private operators to develop the popular but basic Twelve Mile Delta Recreation Reserve into a "new, family- and environmentally friendly, affordable and safe camping ground".
The Doc Wakatipu area office began advertising that it was seeking proposals in a bid to enhance the 6ha camping ground that will serve campers for the long term.
The camping ground was likely to feature toilets, showers and a food preparation facility, as well as a suitable accommodation building for a camping ground manager.
