Good spot in a central location, good toilet facilities nearby as other commenters have mentioned.

Was full at about 5pm when we were there (mid summer) so get in early during summer months! Had someone come check on us that evening to check we were self contained and she said they do the rounds of all the local spots

Excellent spot.

Well looked after plumbed in toilets and rubbish/recycling bins to use, flat gravel car park to fit maybe around 10 vehicles.

The camping area is right next to a small paddock full of a variety of novelty animals like miniature horses, guinea pigs and more.

The hotel/cafe itself is worth checking out even if not planning to stay the night, full of all sorts of quirky antiques and history of the area, apparently rated NZs most interesting cafe it’s like a mini museum.

Staff were very friendly and the hotel had a (very minimal) bar and food etc for sale at the cafe.

Trucks were a little noisy during the night travelling past but not too bad.

Great stop for the night while travelling either way through Arthur’s Pass.
