One of the best Places on earth.
You can park All along the Lake side. Much Better than by the Main place!

Beautiful views but uneven grounds. There are NO signs that say dogs are not allowed. They loved the walk around the lake.

Absolutely breathtaking view! The site is massive and could accommodate a lot of campers, but even in the middle of winter it was pretty busy!
The stars are amazing, better than in Tekapo!
There is absolutely no shops or anything so go prepared. The toilets are fine, some stalls are better than other.Only real downside of our experience was another camper who decided to poo directly in front of the camp on the shore, which was about 30m from the toilets? Clean up your act guys.

Loads of room to park up with stunning views over the lake
Standard drop toilets on site which smelt like the plague
But self contained vans wouldn't have to suffer it!
But it's free so no complaints

This was one of the best places for freedom camping. Lots of space and glorious views. Thank you to who ever made this happen.

Outstanding sunset and lots of fodder for am photography. Great camp vibe. Lots of campers of all types but also plenty of space and options. Potential to be v windy with no sheltered options. Toilet was the worst we have ever encountered hence mid range rating.

This site was our favourite so far. Beautiful views of the lake and plenty of room. We arrived at around 4pm and were able to secure a spot with a clear lake view. Definitely a must if you’re wanting to stay in the area!

Great place to spend the night. Lots of space and nice views of the lake! Amazing stargazing after dark. Toilets smell horrible and if you're in their for longer than a minute the smell is stuck on you for the rest of the night.
