The last camp on the railway.

Waikoura was the largest Ellis & Burnand camp and was established in 1950. It looked like a small town with a "main street" and houses for married couples. To make room for building sites, the ground was stripped down to the pumice. For home gardens, topsoil had to be brought in.

The houses were prefabricated in Te Kuiti and brought up by the locomotives. The best huts from Waione Camp were also moved here.

Now only the concrete cookhouse steps remain.

After the tram line was damaged by floods in 1958, it was closed, the locomotives retired and for the last eight years logs have been trucked to the sawmill.
