  • Handy spot near Lake Tekapo, with serviced drop toilets and a picnic table.

    No other facilities. Recommend parking away from the nearby road, it can be noisy with trucks.

  • Good campsite on the way to Takapo.

    Right off the main road, so a bit of noise but got to sleep no trouble. No thrills campsite, gets busier as night goes on. Only one toilet so a poo queue forms in the morning, nice clean toilet though.

    One of the larger capacity free campgrounds we were surprised

    to find space at 8pm in a busy expensive town with

    Plus a nice wide open view to the sunset.

  • A good free place to stay close to Lake Tekapo.

    It represents a gravel parking next to the main road with a lot of space for campers and vans. There is one drop toilet and no water.

  • Petit camping sympa facile à trouver car c’est sur la route de Tekapo Village, à 7 minutes précisément en voiture.

    Au bord de la route avec des toilettes sèches. Les personnes arrivent vers 18h à peu près.

  • Good, free spot near Tekapo and Roundhill ski field.

    Quite a few vans staying. Lots of space. Roundhill was once again amazing.

  • Great basic freedom camping site, close to Tekapo.

    Long drop toilet was clean, with plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitiser. Bring a head torch as there are no lights

    Clean dry-toilets. No water. Pretty quiet and nice views but a little windy.

  • Pretty basic but does the job, and nice and close to Lake Tekapo so you can get there early morning before all the tour buses arrive.

    Toilet is a long drop with some hand sanitiser, and there’s a bench, and that’s about it for facilities. Inspector came round in the morning but as long as you’re self contained it’s not a problem. Some road noise but bearable
