Close to the road, not noisy at night, one long drop toilet, gets cleaned regularly and one of the best we had so far.

Many spaces, not crowded, easy to find a sheltered spot. Ground very uneven, might need to rearrange the car a few times but worth it! Loads of birds that are curious.

Stayed here a few times when passing this way, it's well sheltered and had a clean toilet.

Nice spot next to a pond and the canal. Good phone reception too which helps when writing reviews 🤣

No fish but worth it . Was one of the cleanest toilets ever. Well done to the people taking care of it .

I think I left my blue and black rayban sunglasses in the toilet on the site.

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has found them, if they could leave a message on here. I'm in the area for a few more days. I would really appreciate it!

Cheers, Sam

Difficile de trouver un emplacement plat Un seul toilette qui peut donc être assez éloigné selon où vous vous installez

Small camping area just off the road, fairly quiet and plenty of spots for parking up.

Has one toilet that was super clean!

Really great place to relax, not over crowded, lake (pond) is small but for us it was perfect sitting g ft or a few days, peaceful and a great Oporto unwind.

Great campsite, we loved it and it's free!

Lots of nice sheltered spots around the pond or in the "forest". Not busy or to crowded. Liked this better than the other one nearby. One clean dropdown toilet that had toliet paper.

Tried to camp at the other campground by lake pukaki but it was very full and we had to park further up hill which meant nice views but far away from toilet and very exposed to wind.

Ended up moving as wind was super strong and went back down road to here. A lovely campsite and calm! Only a few vans here and the setting is a lush forest. Very clean toilet (long drop) and even has hand sanitizer! Weather was rubbish too so not worth staying at other campsite for mountain views (cloudy so still didn’t see mt cook)

Great freedom camping!

All sorts of spots and pretty isolated from each other. New drop toilet that gets cleaned each morning. We enjoyed this spot!

Lots of shady spaces under the pine trees, conveniently located near Mt Cook NP and only a short drive from Twizel.

Drop toilets were fine. BYO toilet paper.

Would be 10/10 if there had been a flush toilet.

Cold and starry night, free stargazing. Nice place to stay the night.

For me it’s one of the best Free Campsites in New Zealand!

It’s in the middle of nowhere (okay 10mins drive from Twizel where the next 4Square is!)

It has just one toilet and of course this one smells -so it is when there is no water(I had definitely worse ones!)

But it’s right at a lake surrounded by trees😍

The sunset the next morning was unbeatable!

Close to Lake Pukaki and Mt.Cook

Lovely spot sheltered from the wind.

Only longdrop toilets but it's free. Unfortunately while we there it was spoiled by non self contained travellers who persisted in using the trees as their toilet area despite a perfectly good longdrop being available. People like this will eventually lead to free areas like this being designated non camping spots and then we all miss out. These individuals where foreign tourists and it shows a complete lack of respect for our country.

Large area.

Easy to find a quiet spot. Great for self-contained vehicles. Not too far to drive back to Mt Cook Lookout for good clean toilets, if necessary.

This is a lovely spot under the tree beside the canal immediately below the Pukaki dam.

Great fishing in the canal
