Beautiful location.

Stunning scenery of the dam and mountains. A shame you can only camp at the top and not around the dam. But it’s still a perfect free place to park for a night.

One down fall was there were cars coming in and out a lot (not sure why, very strange!) through the evening and again early morning and some idiot decided to honk their horn 3 times on the way out! Idiots (to wake up all the campers).

The council came round at 8:30pm, we assum to make sure campers we not on the dam front, so obey the signs.

All in all a beautiful spot though and much nicer than others we pass on the way up from Christchurch to Picton. Close to ferry as well, a 25min drive in.

Fantastic park, friendly and welcoming staff.

Facilities are excellent and clean. Back right onto beautiful bush walking tracks. Close to town and a lovely stroll to the restaurants. You have to check out NO. 31 for dinner it’s food was perfection!

Highly recommended- cost $50 for 2 adults.
