We wanted to stay here but when we arrived it looked like an abandoned trailerpark. A lot of old campers with the curtains closed standing side by side. It was raining and we thought it was a bit spookey so did not stay here. We stayed at the campground next to this one (great stay!) And while we stayed there, we saw 2 other vans drive up to the other campground and turn around as well.

We went to the first campsite on this road...Mac Gregor and it was nice! The lake was nice and there are clean toilets. There is no drinking water only rainwater. We walked the track that started 2 km away from the campsite and it was beautiful.

Lovely drive to and location by the lake. Very nice lady on site cleaning the loos but we didn’t need to use them as we are self contained. Not expensive for the location , very quiet, chilled vibe and peaceful and great breakfast on picnic bench overlooking the water. Very easy to get to and so much better than the freedom site on the road just outside Tekapo which looked souless. No issue or even aware of permanent residents who are in a different section. We did have phone signal.

Avoid at all costs! $15 per person for absolutely no services, just a dry toilet with no toilet paper, no water, no showers, no internet connection. It's just a parking lot; the only positive point is the nice view of the small lake.

$15 cash per person! Poor reception. Great campsite! Parked up closer to McGreggor and was beautiful

Very quiet and peacful but not spooky, beautiful view. Basic toilets, no water, some light in the toilets during night. Awesom place when you want get away from the busy Lake Tekapo. No cellular receiption

Weird vibe, seemed to only be a couple of spots to park up. Beautiful view, very very quiet. Very strange vibe with permanent residents and caravans. Almost feel unwanted there. Nice spot to see and worth going to check out. Wasn’t my vibe but. Felt if I made a noise or anything wrong, I’d be kicked off.

What a great place where to stay, away from the Tekapo Lake turmoil! We spent one night in this amazing place, under a beautiful night sky. We were completely alone. So peaceful, for only 20$. We loved it ! Toilets are fine and clean, with toilet paper provided.

Lovely spot with a nice view of the lake. As others have mentioned this is actually the lake McGregor campsite. A few permanent caravans on the site but plenty of space for campers with fairly level gravel spots. Toilets are pretty good for drop loos and hand sanitizer is available, you need to bring your own loo roll though. You will need cash for the honesty box, at $10 per head it was better value than most DOC sites we’ve stayed at and much nicer imo.

Got here later in the day and still plenty of space! Fantastic views of the lake and amazing stars at night! The loos are smelly and you do need your own loo roll. But there is water for washing up etc not for drinking. There are permanent residents but they are out of the camp site your not near them. Every spot has a great view highly recommend!
