Hanmer Springs is a great year-round destination
With easy access to a wide range of activities, Hanmer Springs Forest Camp is more than just a getaway — it’s a place to grow, learn, and explore. Whether you’re here for a retreat, a camp, or simply to enjoy the great outdoors, you’ll find everything you need for a truly enriching experience.

Team-building, camps, conferences and more
Hanmer Forest Camp is the perfect place for school camps, team-building, conferences, corporate events, social groups, and sports teams.
There’s a wide range of options available for schools and groups, including accommodation in the Ensor Lodge and Forestry Huts, along with access to three well-equipped kitchen spaces. The Abilities Lodge is perfect for smaller groups. We also offer tent sites for that full camping experience, and our large recreation hall is available for hire too.
We have an outdoor activity company on site, Activity Hanmer. They provide amazing activities from mountain biking, tramping, overnight camps, bush skills, tree climbing, orienteering, problem solving, and leadership training — with bespoke programs to suit corporate groups, family groups and school groups.
