Lovely views across the lake and I was greeted by two baby ducks when I arrived.
Got busy in the evening but it's a big area available
-
Toilets were not clean and there were so many people!
But you‘ll always find a place to stay and there are bins.

One of the best freedom camping site We've been so far in the South Island.
Clean flushing toilets (with toilet paper) which is luxury after the many longdrop toilets. Bins provided for rubbish. Very nice view and lots of places. Clean stunning lake to dip in.
-
Nice and quiet place.
Toilets quite good. Plenty of parking. Good phone signal. Possibility to stay here for up to 3 days.

Beautiful location and very handy for Cromwell.
Basic facilities but it is free. It's a large site but quite popuso gat there early for the best spots with lake views

Awesome spot, especially considering it's free!
Clean flush toilets, great view, loads of space. Can even come late and still find a spot!

A big gravel parking next to the lake.
Good spot for swimming. Flush toilets with water. Rangers came and noted the licence plates

Nice place.
A lot spaces. Gets crowded but definitely more than 100 spaces to stay.
If you don't want risk rats etc clean your dishes, don't let them below your van, bring your rubbish to the bins - if the bins are full please take the rubbish with you. If people would behavior more responsible freedom camping wouldn't be that restricted but I can understand now why NZ did it. It's not complicated to be tidy... Pretty sure your own home isn't that dirty as you thread public areas 🚽🪠.

Great spot.
Right on the Dunstan River, few minutes from Cromwell. Easy to find. Stacks of room..easily fit 200 vans. Only 1 set of flushing toilets which were clean and had toilet paper. Has rubbish bins, were emptied whilst we were on site. Has boat ramp. Quite flat. Can be dusty. Close to road although didn't hear the road noise.

Beautiful spot right by the lake.
No sandflies. It get‘s really crowded and the public toilets are really not clean. On the mens toilet is shit on the wall.
-
Amazing views, clean toilets with flush, nice clean campsites with multiple rubbish points, picnic tables and good phone reception as well.
Much better than many paid DOC campsites
-
Huge place, lots of spots.
Toilet was a bit dirty, no Toilet paper.
No sandflies, always nice coming from the west coast.

Big gravel spot with even surfaces.
Beautiful lake views and nice with a refreshing swim :) It's close to the road but we we're too bothered with noise. There were a lot of people here in the beginning of Feb. Toilets were nice a clean.

By a lake which is nice.
Toilets, rubbish bins. No sand flies seen. Massive space, room for everyone which was nice after finding no space in Wanaka and stories of $400 fines handed out at 5.30am.

7/10 - great spot enroute to bannockburn - lovely lake!
Perfect for a stopover
Very quiet - busy when we arrived full of NZ families enjoying the lake and camping that is a testament to the space
Toilets basic but clean enough
Plenty of space - hardly any bugs
