4.5/5
We first went to the free camping spot right at the end of the road on the beach but it was super windy so we came here.
Not a lot of flat spots because need to keep the road clear for boats launching. If there were more than 6 campers here id probably go to the big parking area by the beach. Water on site and handy dump station. Road noise wasn't a problem.

Otto/MacDonalds Campsite
5.0/5
Large flat well maintained DOC site.
Good views to the mountains and lake around. Excellent self contained camping spot. Facilities clean. Was very quiet here in September. One other camper when we stayed.

Gillespies Beach Campsite
5.0/5
The dirt road shouldn't put anyone off.
It is in good condition and no extra steep sections. We took a medium sized camper (Mercedes sprinter) down there no problems. Beach was pretty amazing just the power of the surf and the sun position. But warmer here than inland areas if camping in the shoulder season or winter. Windy. Flush toilets. No cell reception.
