Great location with amazing views. Very cozy place between the trees. Great sunrise and very quiet area. Nice and clean drop loo. Just after 5pm many sunflies...but what can you do? In general great place to stay at!

Really quiet and remote - we were the only ones there which was a bit eerie but ultimately lovely.
Unsealed track past the Lodge. Beautiful views over Lake Ohau and mountains, if you want peace and quiet this is your place.
2 long drops both fairly clean.

Very beautiful BUT the sandflies and the wind are horrific at times. The camping area is great if you are still willing. Not allowed to camp anywhere else along the lakeside unless you have a selfcontainment sticker, except the other Doc site.

One of our best freedom sites during our trip - but check your arrival time! It‘s pretty hard to find the way in the darkness.
Heaps of sandflies but so much worth it!
Have a swim in the lake, wake up right next to the waterfront with a beautiful sunrise and the overwhelming view - what else would you need?

Would be a 10 if not for the sandflies! They were everywhere!! We had to stayed at the van. But for the rest great place! In the middle of nowhere just next to the lake. Great star gazing, long drop toilet. Some dirty road until arrive but easy and accessible. Totally worth the detour!!

An absolutely stunning spot with unspoilt views of Lake Ohau and the mountains beyond. This is New Zealand at its best. Wild and beautiful. We’re here in winter and no other tourists in sight. Will be back for sure. Best of all it’s free.

Heaps of sandflies! But beautiful place, the lake surrounded by the mountains in the middle of nowhere is just stunning! No water supply, so bring your own! Clean toilets and all of that just for a donation!

Pretty, quiet spot but a lot of sand flies and quite windy. Long drop was quite clean.

The lake is beautiful and the mountains gorgeous. Not far from the main road. Not much flat area for tents. Sandflies and mosquitos were just tolerable. No water and only a long drop, but for free you can't complain.

Beautiful location and quiet place, but dirty toilet and billions of sandflies.

Pretty lovely place with clean basic toilets (the door was broken), but amazing view of the lake and mountains. Fire is forbidden but a lot of "old fireplace" are on the site.
