Very remote and quiet location.
Space for c15 RV’s. Can get a nice sunset or sunrise over the lake, and also a nice boardwalk around the lake for a walk / run (c6km). Only drawback is limited facilities - toilet was a long walk from the camping site.
-
Freedom camped for one night.
The grassed area was full but stayed down the other end at the car park by the toilets. Toilets were compostable. Clean. No showers. Great view of the sun setting.
-
Great little spot for self contained freedom camping.
There were lots of spaces to park and we arrived around 8.30pm at a guess if say it would fit 15-20 vehicles.
-
A beautiful view.
Long drop loos at one end. No shower. Lovely walk on a boardwalk and gravel track for 6km around the lake ending up at the car park again.
Parking is not level and there is some on grass and some on asphalt.
No bins except for doggie doos.
The lake is supposed to not be swum in but it has a rowing club on it... No motor boats.
We had a night of howling gales and a wind free night but we weren't blown about. A quiet spot for 2 nights.
-
Two different space to park, one next to the toilet and the other one a little bit further away at the edge of the lake.
Verry nice and calm. Clean drop toilet. Phone signal ok
-
Amazing views of lake, very kind locals.
It is very busy all the time. Toilets but no water
-
Very good campsite with a lot of places.
We arrived at 6pm and no problem. Great possibility of doing a run around the Lake! What a nice View!
No water etc. but selfsustained as said.
-
Beautiful spot close to Hamilton.
Bathrooms a short walk away, and the site has a picnic table and (sort of) covered bbq/cooking spot. Arrived at 7pm on a Sunday and about 4 open spots left. There are also habituated ducks that people are feeding which is a bit sad but they are cute (pls don't feed them!). Rubbish bin on site is small and overloaded so be prepared to pack in/pack out.

Muy lindo lugar para pasar una o dos noches, se puede hacer una caminata por lago, lindas vistas
-
Beautiful freedom camping spot- lovely lake views and a nice 6km track to walk around it.
Drop toilets are fairly clean, but no drinking water available at this site.
-
Decent place to stay for a free night.
Plenty of space in the gravel and grass to park, but bathrooms are a bit of a walk and there is no running water. A bit buggy, but was a peaceful spot right next to the lake.
-
Friendly locals but if you don’t wanna chat with people you shouldn’t go there.
Lovely atmosphere, pettable goose. Also has a BBQ and a Toilet (toilet 10min walk away from parking lot)
-
Great view on the lake but toilets 20min by walk away and no water.
It is still a good spot, quiet and nice.
-
This place is decent, but not much more than that.
The restrooms lack running water, but they're usable if necessary. Keep in mind they are a bit of a walk away, approximately 300 meters. There's no water source here, but you do have access to a public BBQ area and a lovely view of the lake.
-
Lovely spot and perfect for a night.
Loos must have been redone since last visits as they neither stank nor were dirty. They are a bit of a walk but with a torch you’re ok! Highly recommend.
-
Lovely spot.
Busy with people going out onto the lake in boats in the morning. 5min walk to long drop toilets. Nice morning walk around the 5km lake path loop.
-
Pretty and quiet but as described toilets were a long walk from camping area and smelled awfum

A quiet and peaceful place to stay.
Space for about 10 vehicles on the gravel but there is space on the grass too it just looks quite wet. The toilets are a long walk up the driveway from the freedom camping bays but you could probably park nearer to the toilets without any issues. We didn’t walk it but there’s a lakeside path for walking or cycling around.
