Van de weg

Most expensive and worst place we have stayed so far in NZ. Amenities are very dated for the price and the noise from surrounding housing is loud and goes well into the night. Do not recommend

Beautiful Free camp on the banks of Lake Pukaki with views of Mount Cook! Many locations available for certified vehicles. The camp is filled quite quickly despite everything. 4 dry toilets are located at the bottom of the parking lots, towards the lake. The terrain can sometimes be sloping with a lot of stones.

Really lovely spot to stay, very friendly hosts and lots of lovely animals dotted around! Can give Matt a text with an eta (as we were arriving later on), and flexible check out too. Would really recommend!

Wow great camp! Recycling area, clean toilets, water! More camps like this!

Beautiful and peaceful spot. We were only van there. Toilets available and power was offered. Like others have said need to check in with gas station first for security - they were open until 7 last night. Well stocked shop and very reasonable fuel also.

Great campsite! We paid for one night here because there were no free campsites nearby, and we weren't disappointed. $62 for two people on an unpowered site on a grassy area. A very warm welcome at reception. The facilities are new and clean, with plenty of showers (with hot water). A 10-minute walk to Hot Water Beach, with a lovely walking path. There's also a small cafe and pizzeria on site. Excellent Wi-Fi reception, even on the slightly remote grassy site.

A beautiful campsite on lakes edge. Lake was chilly but family swam. Toilets clean and sanitizer supplied. Returned on way back from Queenstown. Beautiful sunset. Highly recommend.

So peaceful. Free hot showers. Hardly anyone here and plenty of space if there was. We pulled right up to the lake and enjoyed sunset and sunrise. Just follow the link to make a reservation.

Very good area especially if you park near the toilets and change room areas of North Beach( Mon to Thursday only) Nice level spot, right next to the ocean. 2 toilets open all night.

So very lucky to have New Managers Zeph and Bruce welcome us to their hidden gem...what an honour to spend a few days here. Riding from Mistletoe to Anikiwa, (27km, 2h 20m, ~800m climbing) was a highlight with arguably some of the best vi of the sounds. Right beside the Q. Charlotte walkway with bountiful supplies of ice creams, and a selection of basic meal options for anyone running short. We were able to get our 7.5m motorhome on site, and out again but reccomend a chat with the Managers firs

Really lovely site, toilets were clean, and there was a great sink and electric barbecue. Stayed for 2 nights, and slept well with the sounds of the ocean. I would have been happy to pay the fee, but no one came to collect. According to the council website it's $20 per night https://www.mackay.qld.gov.au/Parks-and-facilities/Ball-Bay-Camping-Ground-Park

Lovely campsite! Really clean toilets and showers, nice warm pool and good kitchen amenities

Great spot, only 10 cars can sleep here so recomend to arrive at 5pm

#9 & 10 Lots of space, prettiest sunset of my life (and the most disgusting toilets ever)

Biggest free camping spot that we’ve encountered. Lots and lots of space, 4 drop toilets and very nice views on the lake and mountains. About 45 mins from Mount Cook Village. The “uneven surface” really isn’t that problematic. It’s gravel and rocks so a couple holes but nothing bad. We would absolutely recommend!
