Flat areas of the ground.

Toilets flush but no lights inside so abit scary to use at night. Good location between stops in a road trip. Empty in shoulder season. Gate was locked when we left in the morning with rope so we just let ourselves out. No lake in may though still stunning view

This was our first camping that we tried with our campervan.

It’s free, the grass was cut recently and the bathrooms were clean.

Good spot with great lake views.

Access to the lake bit difficult for a swim but doable. Decent toilet.

We arrived in the middle of Jan on Sat. Beautiful weather so quite a few locals with speed boats and jet skis. Bit noisy but hey it's their backyard so can't blame them.

Would stop there again.

Great spot to freedom camp for when hiring a self - contained campervan.

Toilets very clean and of flushing type. No toilet seat though so make sure you've been doing your squats beforehand (toilet paper seats won't help you here)! Tremendous view of the lake. Quite a few campervans were already there when we arrived at 7pm and some turned up afterwards too. Some locals were fishing over the weekend too as it was a bank holiday weekend and they were also camping on site (some were bending the rules and also leaving some rubbish around which was a shame (some other tourists were the ones being very respective of the rules and picking up the rubbish))

Overall it was an excellent place to freedom camp and I would recommend.

Fantastic site!

Clean flush toilets Lots of space (some areas quite un level) Obviously a favorite spot for locals to play on the lake! Apparently dry by last summer but wonderful now!

Worth the short drive off the main road

Fab spot large grassy area plenty of room, lovely views.

However due to a very dry summer the lake was dry! Still amazing to see and walk on the lake bed . Toilets very clean .

Beautiful, quiet and picturesque.

We arrived around 3:30pm and there was only 2 other people there when we arrived. Grass is a little uneven but plenty of space. There is a toilet block there but we think it was locked. Nice view of the lake and nearby sheep

Huge grassy area directly at the lake.

Clean water toilets. Stayed here one night in the beginning of March and wanted to come back a in the beginning of April but unfortunately the gate at the start of the road was closed and we were not sure if the campground was closed or if it was only for the farm animals. We went to one of the other sites at the lake instead. Good cell phone reception.

Kids on a quad bike riding past ever 5mins for 10 hours untill 8pm...

Non stop the parents obviously didn't give a rats about the 30 odd campervans keeping the peace. Other than that it was ok

Lovely spacious site with the best view of the mountains.

This morning they are lightly sprinkled with snow and make a breathtaking view with my morning cup of tea. There were about 6 campers parked up with the night we stayed but heaps of space between everyone so privacy is maintained. Definitely worth the 12k drive out of town.

The only free campsite we managed during our journey.

Was a beautiful place to wake up to with the view across the lake. Facilities basic, but fine. A few yahoo’s the night we were there, but wasn’t a real disturbance in our camper. The view and and price made it a good spot to stay.

Lots of space, right next to a lake and the most amazing view in the morning of the sunrise against the mountain!

Beautiful place with lovely mountain views.

Flushing toilets and space for about 10 vans. Very quiet and peaceful. One of our favourite camping spots.

Ideal free spot before visiting Tekapo, not too far from main road turn off.

Clean toilets, no water supply, grass a bit long in places. Nice lake and pretty views, bit too cold for a swim in October!
