Although camping in the wilderness is prohibited in New Caledonia, similar to mainland France, there are opportunities for bivouacking for a night in different parts of the archipelago. Examples include the Blue River Provincial Park, which provides facilities like toilets, tables, and barbecues in designated areas. Other options include demarcated areas along the beaches of Poé or Ouano, as well as the self-contained huts along the GR® NC1 trail. However, it’s important to note that pitching a tent on private property or customary land is not allowed without obtaining prior permission.
