4.0/5
Great open space with lots of room for many campers.
New drop toilets, but felt quite clean regardless. Might be a little loud for sensitive sleepers (noticed when waking up for the bathroom in the middle of the night), but other than that no complaints!

4.5/5
Beautifully maintained site.
Plenty of space and well kept clean toilets. Lovely view of the mountains yet close to Christchurch.
Close to the road but reasonably quiet at night.
Would recommend and thank the Lions for keeping it so good. $5 per person is a great price too. (Honesty box)

Lovely place to park up for a night or more.
Well maintained toilets and grounds. Donations can be paid to the local Lions who have made this area so welcoming. Hardly noticed the traffic on the main road.

Very large and flat area, surrounded by trees.
It's very quiet, even with the road beside. Very nice free spot !

Our first time travelling ..
this was a beautiful spot to stop. Lovely well maintained area, quite popular with motor homes. Beautiful river to walk our dog along. Toilets quite clean.

4.0/5
Convenient place for a large motorhome to park up for an overnight stop.
Easy access to the river. Road noise would be the only (minor) irritation - suggest parking as far back from the road as possible. Quite a pretty spot with some nice seated areas for meals.

Road noise during the day but not much traffic at night.
Brand new vault toilets. Plenty of room for big rigs.

A free place to park up if you're passing through but other than that I wouldn't really describe it as a campground.
There are no toilets (the nearest ones are in Oxford about 3 mins drive) or other facilities except some picnic tables. By the main road so its noisy and there's no view.

The West Oxford Reserve (AKA The Eyre River) is a flat parking and picnic spot just outside of Oxford.
It has no facilities and no water supply but is kept tidy and is well cared for with tree plantings and picnic tables. The Inland Scenic road marks one boundary of the site and traffic is often heavy .. especially at weekends. Large trucks and milk-tankers rumble past in the night. This is a useful and fairly attractive free stopover on the way to somewhere else. The Eyre river is usually bone dry and is frequented by 4x4 cowboys. A lot of people use the reserve for walking their dogs .. there are no poop bins .. beware.

What a lovely place, lovely view, there is a main road, so we’ll see what it’s like tonight.
Our dog could run free chasing his ball.
The grass was mowed, a little dusty from the gravel road, but only when somebody drives past you.
