Okarito Camping Ground
5.0/5
Great campsite!
$15 each to stay and then $2 for a coin for showers (4 mins hot water). Only non powered sites which was fine. Very quiet and 2 mins walk from the beach (can hear the ocean at night). Clean toilets, common area with fridge and plug sockets (phones only). Host available on site during summer. For the same price we stayed in a DOC site previously that was no where near as nice as this!

Able to fill bottles up by lane number 12… helpful assistance from staff and checked weight of bottle to confirm empty

Cascade Creek Campsite
3.5/5
Closest campsite to Milford sounds after the lodge… DOC site, not manned just self registration (I paid online too).
Loads of spaces, some near the river others more in land. Toilets were ok, outdoor cooking area. After te anau basically no signal so look before you go / download the map!

Wanaka Hampshire Holiday Park
4.0/5
Booked last minute for powered site - pretty cheap $46 for 2 people.
Also had a view of the lake, very close to town too. Very good and ample cooking facilities - bathrooms were plentiful and very clean! Refill water station ‘well’ by the main lounge area. Had wifi which worked well in the lounge but otherwise not too great

4.0/5
Great little spot for freedom camping - close to working and clean toilets.
Not many flat sites.. we slept on a bit of a downward slope which didn’t bother us. Got here about 8pm after river site was full! No max on vehicles but would struggle to fit more than 8 here

Queenstown-Glenorchy Road, TwentyFive Mile Stream
5.0/5
Still open for freedom camping but very reduced capacity compared to previous site which has been blocked off with boulder.
Loads of people freedom camping here - about 12 vans in total max. Right on the water / stream - quiet considering next to highway! And drop toilet too (with loo roll) . Probably only freedom camping place on the road from Queenstown to Glenorchy
