Thread: How Busy is Oamaru Hut, Doc land March

Hi All,
Having recently done my first walk off Clements mill rd, and in 2020 a Helisika fly in further SE, a mate and I are thinking of doing a couple of nights at Oamaru hut DOC land in mid March.
We meet a couple at Clements mill camp site who had just walked out from Oamaru hut and looking at them we decided if they could do it then so could we.
Usual plan check out the river flats sun rise & set then either fish or hunt up a spur or side creek depending upon how many hunters are at the hut.

So given that it's more of a walk in than Clements mill but still very much front country compared to where younger & fitter guy's will head too (ie Thunderbolt, Boyd etc) and a bit close in if you are paying for a heli-sika ride.

Question is for those who have been there in Feb, March early April, how many hunters in the hut book over weekends, Just yourselves, or 2 or 3 or more parties?
