Great spot for spending the night especially if you want to go to Mount Sunday early the next day.
The site itself has a scenic view during sunrise. It also has public toilets which has a pretty standard condition like other toilets of overnight campervan parks.

Great spot.
Awesome view. Those who are into photography will love this spot for the view during sunrise or doing astrophotography at night. The place can be quite busy, so better arrive early to secure a good spot. I just noticed that some people don't know how to park properly, and will park parallel the lake to "own" the lake view while others have already parked facing the lake (or with the rear of the van facing the lake).

Nice spot with great view of lake Dunstan.
Has ample parking space and also allows non self-confained cars to stay. Toilet is clean and doesn't smell. The spot is also right beside SH8, so it is quite accessible even if there is an emergency.
