[3] The Tautuku camp, built in the 1970s, accommodates up to 100 people in a mix of dormitories and cabins, and has facilities for abseiling, kayaking, a climbing wall, confidence course, initiative course and tramping tracks.

[5] In 2012, a girl from St Hilda's Collegiate was the subject of a search-and-rescue operation at the camp after injuring her ankle during a tramp.

[5] New facilities, including 28 new beds in five dormitories, ablution rooms, a staff workshop and a sauna, were completed in May of the following year.

[9] However incompatibilities between the new and old fire sprinkler system, and a requirement for further stabilisation and drainage work, and replacement of the water tanks, meant that the facilities were not able to be used immediately and some visiting groups had to camp in tents.

[2] A group of Middlemarch residents announced in January 2021 that they were investigating purchasing the camp to retain it as a community facility.
