Spectacular free camping in front of Pukaki Lake with a stunning view on the mountains. We spent 2 days enjoying doing nothing and a quick swim in the lake (I was a bit scared that would be too cold but with a sunny day in the afternoon it is worth it!). Long drop toilets always clean, sometimes a bit smelly but you can do it :) I recommend arriving around lunch time to choose your spot. Love NZ ❤️

Beautiful Free camp on the banks of Lake Pukaki with views of Mount Cook! Many locations available for certified vehicles. The camp is filled quite quickly despite everything. 4 dry toilets are located at the bottom of the parking lots, towards the lake. The terrain can sometimes be sloping with a lot of stones.

Biggest free camping spot that we’ve encountered. Lots and lots of space, 4 drop toilets and very nice views on the lake and mountains. About 45 mins from Mount Cook Village. The “uneven surface” really isn’t that problematic. It’s gravel and rocks so a couple holes but nothing bad. We would absolutely recommend!

The view is absolutely stunning ! Very busy parking and not very flat ground but can’t complain about as it’s free 😊

Amazing views, busy spot with only a few spots with flat surface but with that view it’s worth trying to get there earlyish! Clean toilets.

Perfect place, perfect views. Lots of space on 3 levels to pick your best view, but only a few level spots. We had a lookout spot on the first level on the left, slightly elevated. Toilets are al the way down but a nice short walk of 2/3 min. Ended up being busy but everyone was quietly enyoing the views.

Lots of spots, quiet and dark at night. Drop toilets at the very bottom level of the park. Incredible views in every direction. Some campers parked too far apart which reduced the available spots. Some spots aren’t level.

Loved this spot. Lots of space and amazing views of Lake Pukaki. Toilets. Quiet. Would recommend!

I checked the reviews before going and thank you to those who left a good review because indeed "it's so nice there", it's big, the view is magnificent!!!

Spectacular views! I recommend you come with light to be able to look for the flat site to park. There are as 3 parking areas, the bathroom is in the last, you have to get off by car to get. Very correct bathrooms. Very weak internet connection.
