Lake Camp
5.0/5
Freedom camping at its best!
Stunning views! Even has a new block of three long drop toilets with tiled floors, sensor lighting, ventilation, and hand sanitiser. The lake has a large amount of ice currently (July 2024), but the temperature is warm as long as you're in the sun - cools down quickly in the shade. Take levellers as there is slight slope in two directions and a few ruts at this time of year (although the ground is still solid). Can also camp at other end of the lake down on the lake edge. Toilets at that end are on the road in but still not too far to walk (slightly uphill)

Haast River Motels and Holiday Park
5.0/5
Lovely holiday park with very good and clean facilities.
Free hot showers with good water pressure. Best was the games room next to the TV room. Every sort of game you could imagine from oversized draughts (checkers), a pool table, jigsaws and lots of board games. Free WiFi and within cellphone coverage area. There were also motel rooms on site.

5.0/5
Great little campsite.
Hot showers without time limits, very good communal facilities. Terrific views over the water and near to the town and hot water beach. We were in a large motorhome and due to heavy rains the other two camping grounds couldn't accommodate us, but we were able to get a hardstand site here. Staff were also friendly and helpful. Gave us a shovel to use for hot water beach too
