    Cracking spot just outside blenheim. As others have said the toilets are oddly far away to walk (4-5mins) but are in very good condition. Locals like to drive up and down the road but we weren't bothered by anyone on the two separate occasions we stayed here

    Very nice place. We arrived in the middle of the night and there were still three places available.

    Very picturesque spot to camp for a night. We headed here from our late afternoon ferry crossing. There are toilets a couple of mins walk down from the camping area but they were locked and not accessible for us

    Beautiful in autumn! Only 4 other campers overnight (on a weds in May). Tis quite a walk to the toilets but it’s very scenic and you get your steps in. Phone signal not amazing but the perfect spot for sitting out with a beer and watching the ducks and swans.

    Nice spot, stayed March 20. 2 sites still available overnight. Some jerk in a truck racing around, doing donuts in the lower parking lot, between 11pm-11:30pm, but otherwise quiet all night. Toilets are down by the lower parking lot. Instead of walking back and forth we just drove down there in the morning and had breakfast down there.

    Lovely camp spot just outside of Blenheim. Very peaceful. Flushing toilets are a short walk away (please don’t pee in the bushes!). Ten spots and one was free the whole time we were there.

    Great spot near a beautiful lake full of wild water birds. Poor phone signal but a great place to be away from your phone. Toilets are a short way down the road from the camping spots. They are clean and well maintained. Most spots were taken by 6pm.

    A very beautiful, peaceful and rural setting yet not very far out of Blenheim..The toilet block is perhaps a 5 minute walk down the hill past the dam but it’s such a beautiful walk there! We arrived at around 2pm and were the first there but the spaces were all taken by 5pm. Phone signal was quite weak but you may just need to walk up the hill towards the road to get it strong enough to power your mobile data / phone internet.A perfect spot before our day doing our Wine Tour By Bike, Renwick.

    Really nice quiet place for an overnight stay. Toilets are down the hill and a nice walk along the dam. Cars coming and going throughout the evening but stopped around 9pm. Would recommend a stay here.
