The actual campsite itself is lovely, but unfortunately we had a very frightening experience during our stay. At around 10:30pm, rocks were thrown at our van, waking us up. About 10 minutes later, a creepy car arrived and circled our van before parking nearby and turning its lights off. The occupants then got out with a torch and started walking towards our van. We were extremely scared, so I called the police. In the end, we felt so uncomfortable and unsafe that we decided to leave.
Lovely campsite. Free. Loads of space. Drop toilet was pretty clean. Morning by the lake is lovely. Only thing I will say is maybe donβt park too near the first area with the picnic bench by the water, we were woken up by a group of tourists (look like some photography tour) taking pictures right outside our boot π for sunrise. Maybe go further long the water
Long gravel path and steep decent to campsite. Smelly long drops, beautiful surroundings
DOC spacious with many locations on the edge of a lake. To access it by gravel road on 2/3 km but it is done without problems. Only weak point, there are 2 toilets which is widely enough but it could really a lot, he should come clean them (it becomes urgent π )
Best site we have done. no shower but large enough, quiet and beautiful.
Around 10:40 pm last night someone vandalized multiple tents including ours.
Didnβt feel safe. At midnight someone is coming and stealing your belongings. Be very careful and aware, catch those bustards
Spacious, peaceful campsite with plenty of room for turning large vehicles. Nestled beside a pretty lake with a canal right behind it. Stunning views across to Aoraki/Mt Cook. Stay on the gravel canal road until you've passed most of the campsite before turning into it. Lake Wardell on the other side of SH8 looked lovely too but is closer to the road.
If you can get over the very smelly long drop, this is a fab campsite. One of the best we've stayed at. Amazing views, sunset & sunrise. We had good phone signal, very important so my other half could listen to the Grand Prix! Plenty of room for all πDon't take the first (unsign posted) turning, that road is rutted, continue down the gravel road for 2 km until you come to the sign posted entry.
Quiet from the road. A little challenging to get to with the rutted gravel road. Airplane noise starts at 9am.
