5.0/5
Beautiful camping spot right next to the sea.
Aside from a few cars coming by we were alone in camping here for the night. There are no facilities at all, alone a gravel parking lot. The road the last few kms is gravel, a bit rough, just need to take it slow.

Quite simple site for the price you pay.
Was OK but nothing special.

4.5/5
The camping site is spectacular!
One of the best on our trip!
Standard DoC site with only basic amenities. It did have a "cooking area" though, no stoves just sinks and countertops.
HOWEVER! The gravel road the last few km was TERRIBLE! As in more washboard than road :( The DoC worker we talked to said they were going to fix it, didn't say when though.

Nice and cozy site with all amenities.
Very close to city center. Was quite full when we were there however, so not much privacy.

Nice basic site next to the lake.
Only toilet in terms of amenities, but it is free. :)

4.5/5
Nice site with all amenities.
Everything felt neat and clean and camping spots were nice. Very close to the beach but a bit of a walk to the city center if you wanna eat out.
The glow worm dell just across the street is a must if you stay here :)

4.0/5
Very nice spot just by the lake!
The spots in the woods by the lake is limited though and the parking lot by the road didn't seem that nice.
Standard DoC site with only minimal amenities.

3.5/5
Very nice views and the nearby short Lake Gunn walking track is pleasant.
The camping site is however quite big, and while that makes it almost certain you can find a spot it also makes it a lot less cozy.
Basic DoC site with only toilet and nothing else.

3.0/5
Simple camping site with all facilities and amenities.
However its age shows and the view isn't anything special. Only thing to recommend it really is decent price and location (if your planning on doing a tour or outing on Otago Peninsula).

Nice site with all amenities.
View nothing special and "big road" very close by, but not much traffic.

Nice site with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains!
Standard DoC spot with only basic amenities.

5.0/5
Very interesting camping site with all spots nestled into pockets in the surrounding forest.
Felt very cozy and wild at the same time. Amenities are OK but nothing special. The ever present sheep jokes will put a smile on your face though :)
One of the better sites on our trip.
