4.0/5
Huge open area, tons of spots available for camping and campervans.
Fairly protected from the wind. Lots of toilets available however of the ones that were supposed to flush the majority did not work. Water supply is clean but not treated (not drinking water). $10pp per night.

4.5/5
This was a great spot with views over queenstown and a good stop before heading to Wanaka.
We stayed here two nights in a row, unfortunately only for self contained so you would be out of luck otherwise as theres no toilets. Pretty open area so it can get quite windy. Also lots of people come to watch the sunset here so it will be busy around that time but then most people head out.

Good place overall, surprisingly clean toilets for a free campervan spot!
Fairly protected from the wind. Nice view over a creek and farm land with cows. Unfortunately somehow we got a rat or mouse in our car while at this location.

4.5/5
Great place to spend the night.
Lots of space and nice views of the lake! Amazing stargazing after dark. Toilets smell horrible and if you're in their for longer than a minute the smell is stuck on you for the rest of the night.
