Tawanui Campsite
3.0/5
Nice grassy areas next to the river to park up on.
However, basic toilets and no drinking water. River walk was very underwhelming.

White Horse Hill Campground
5.0/5
Excellent site with views of Mt Stefan.
Clean toilets and a dump station. Located right next to the beginning of the Hooker Valley walk. Showers available at the public shelter in Mt Cook Village.

Purakaunui Bay Campsite
4.5/5
Large campsite with stunning views overlooking a beach and cliffs in the distance.
Long drop toilet and no camp shower or free wifi as the description suggests.
-
South Island ▷ Coastal Otago ▷ Dunedin ▷
Portobello Domain
3.5/5
The campsite is the car park of the village park and so no view and basic toilet facilities.
However, free spot in a good location within the peninsula.

South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Lake Tekapo ▷
Pattersons Ponds Camping Ground
5.0/5
Freedom Camping spot next to the river with great views.
Out of the way (down steep gravel track) and so nice and quiet - we were the only ones there when we stayed. 10 minutes from Lake Tekapo.

South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Banks Peninsula ▷
French Farm
4.5/5
Good spot next to the lake with mountain views and clean toilets.
15 minutes from Akaroa.
