Freedom camp with small fee - gorgeous views for an evening in spring. Queenstown weather in the morning isn’t great so it was foggy and couldn’t see anything! Toilet is okay drop toilet with roll, loads of flies in the toilet that stay on the walls. Not a big issue if you’re not scared of insects

Funny, it’s a DOC campsite but you have to pay even if u have the DOC pass…

15pp self check-in at your arrive by paying cash or wait until the morning to pay with card. We've chosen a nice spot really close to the lake (we took a swim) and toilet was a long drop no flush of course, not smelly at all The last part of the entrance road has few potholes so be careful. BRING WITH YOU MOSQUITOS AND SANDFLIES REPELLENT OR DON'T GO AT ALL!! Love NZ ❤️

Amazing stay at this campsite, came originally for 1 night ended up staying for 3. Views over the mountains and near by a lake. The place was very quiet and lots of parking spots (winter time) I only had a $20 but in the morning, a staff member came to see me to give me $5 change. Amazing stay !

Without a reservation, we easily found a spot near the toilets. We didn't have any change, but we filled out the form, and in the morning the manager came with a payment terminal. A very quiet night. The lake is nearby, as is the Bob's Cove hiking trail, of which we only did a section while searching for the Ithilien (LoTR).

Turned up at around 8:30 and there was lots of spots available. When you enter stay to the right hand side the spots are nicer and more open, there is signal but it’s very weak Because I turned up so late and didn’t have cash, the DOC lady came around in the morning just before 9 with an eftpos machine, $15 very affordable! And great for LOTR fans, was an easy 5 min walk to the Ithilien lookout!

Beautiful, cheap spot!! Very basic but the sunrise and sunset was beautiful over the mountains! The owners are lovely, and had a chat in the morning when they came around to get card payments! We went right at the entrance, all the way to the bobs cove walk- and camped under some trees! We were the only ones in that section that woke up with no frost on our tent or car, so would recommend in winter. Had 2 bars of 4G with 2degrees, but our friend had no signal with OneNz. Can fill up quickly.

Great place, we stayed 2 nights near the lake. Very clean toilets and with niche picnic tables. There are many locations and 13 min from Queenstown center. No telephone network. Possibility to pay in cash or by card (morning) -> 15$/pp. The DOC pass does not work here (which is a shame to the price at which it is paid).

Great location and extremely quiet. Beautiful sunrise if you’re up early in the morning. We had a bit of service. We didn’t have cash so just paid with card when we left in the morning. Ideal if you’re looking for unpowered slightly out of the main city. Also plenty of space if you go down below the entrance rather than straight ahead

Campground 10 minutes from Queenstown, near the lake. Plenty of sites. Very convenient, with the option to pay in cash or online on arrival or departure day. Several restrooms on site. $15 per person Great!
