We arrived in the dark but good site, beautiful views. No facilities but fine for self contained vehicles and cheap for a family ($20). Only 10km outside of Queenstown

Rough gravel road, narrow in parts, to get there, but well worth it. The scenery is really magic and on a still day the lake looks like a mirror. Only for self-contained though. No toilet, but can use water from lake. We stayed there three days - didn't want to leave!

The campsite was a little disappointing. The drive there is fantastic, but the camping area itself is not that fantastic. There are a number of telephone poles in front of you. Having said that we had the place to ourselves which was nice.
