  • Big spot, room for maybe 50 vehicules.

    Even if you get there late you could park in the middle. One long drop toilet with hand sanitizer.

    I recommend parking the furthest from the road, close to fence, to enjoy the sunset but please don't park in front of the gate as farmer needs to get through

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Toilet was clean. Just what you expect from a freedom campsite.

  • Nice little spot, only 1 drop toilet which was clean but smelt a bit, had toilet paper but no wash basin, beautiful views and plenty of room

    It filled up very quickly on dusk.

    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
