Spent a night with family. Place is great for kids and families in general -- a beautiful pond for swimming and next to a river. Toilet facilities are minimal though. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

Great campsite by a nice large pond. 21 motorhomes/caravans here on our nights stay. Lots more room to camp but not all this campsite is flat. You get what you pay for. Free is always good.

Wow! Great spot to camp for all including pets. Plenty of flat areas to set up and a few private spots for tenting. Long drop plus over summer has several commercial chemical toilets. You’ll need to bring everything else including water. Busy over New Year period and especially at end of day as campers roll in. Clutha Gold cycle trail beside camp and close to Roxburgh for supplies. Nice swimming and fishing in dam.

We loved it! Beautiful place, lots of space and thing to do such as fishing (get your licence first!), swimming, hiking and biking trails... only one toilet with a little sink to wash hands (not drinkable) very clean, however, it was out of season, I’m not sure with the camping full of people.

Lovely spot, nice views of the river and ‘pond’. Toilet was ok, a bit smelly but not to bad. Not very level though. We had a horrible night though with someone driving circles around all the vans tooting their horn, sirens going and lights flashing at midnight quite a few times just to be annoying! Called the police and that soon stopped.

Lovely spot for a stop over. One toilet/portaloo which was a little smelly.

This spot is over-rated by the previous reviewers in my opinion compared to other similarly rated spots I have stayed at. It is a large uneven dirt parking area without much charm. A bonus is that it is on Clutha Gold trail.

Fabulous spot, nice ride along the rail trail for lunch.

I love this spot. Plenty of room on the 'main' field by the lakeshore and a few more private spots if you turn right at the entrance. Situated in a pine forest. The road and town is noticeable depending of the wind direction, therefore i give this spot 9 points.
If you take a more private spot be prepared to say 'hi' quite a lot, since people walk by if they are strolling around the lake.
The drive from Queenstown is astonishing! Take your time! Outer Earthish amazing.

Nice sheltered peaceful spot with a cycling track along the Clutha river. Roxburgh minutes up the road.
