Plenty of space to park. There are toilets but they were the stinkiest ones we’ve encountered. It’s beside the road but it didn’t bother us we could barely hear anything. Would recommend overall.
Please remember to register by QR code!!!! Even though there were only about 20 vehicles waiting there that night and we were completely self-contained we had to pay $800 fine (not just $400 but $800 because it is a reserve). so learn from our (expensive) mistake and sign up!
We decided not to spend the night here as the cell service was very poor and the campsite is poorly situated next to two roads. It lacks the natural beauty of nearby campsites and has a certain unpleasant vibe about it, so we elected to drive 20 more minutes to a more pleasant campsite nearby.
Stayed here for a couple of nights and it was quiet. No issues. Last night 8 cars were here, but no one checked in online, thought it was necessary?
Was there few nights ago, Same as mentioned before group of kids in white car came throw eggs at the van. Came half hour later to do doughnuts on the carpark. Just try to clean the eggs right away if they stay over night it's a nightmare to clean
We were there on the nights of June 23rd and 24th… The first night, we saw some youths throwing eggs at a vehicle, and the second night, we unfortunately became victims of these same youths who attacked our vehicle twice, about an hour apart. The eggs left scratches on the van… It was around 9 pm; there were three of them, and they had a white car.
We were concerned after reading some of the other reviews, we turned up just after 9pm, only a few cars/vans here. The views in the morning if it’s clear are incredible. It was also very quiet all night ☺️
Good spot. Only 50 spaces and it filled up fairly quick so get here close to 5pm
Stayed here 2 nights in a row while visiting Wanaka, hiking Roy’s Peak etc. It’s an ok campground but filled up relatively fast even in off season. More cars could definitely fit in there than the 50 sites they have marked though.
arrived at 6:30pm and got the last spot. huge campsite.
