Clearwater Stream Camping
3.5/5
Nice view of the mountains and glacier, pretty basic without toilet and no sign that this was a campsite.
Very cold at night.

Whites Bay Campsite
3.5/5
Big grassy area next to the beach with very very nice toilets, taps and cold showers.

Punakaiki Beach Camp
3.0/5
Stayed here because rangers check the self-contained camping.
Nothing special, not the best showers but kitchen is okay. Only place to stay when not self-contained.

Crown Range Summit
3.0/5
Was good for a stopover on the way to Wanaka.
Got pretty cold at night and crowded, but a nice view of the town and sky at night. Very basic and no toilets.

South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Queenstown Township ▷
Queenstown-Glenorchy Road, TwentyFive Mile Stream
4.5/5
Very nice location, best view of the mountains with direct access to Lake Wakatipu.
No toilets, no ranger, but sandflies of doom in the morning. No tap. Still one of the best (or the best) free campsite we have seen.
-
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Motueka ▷
Kina Beach Reserve Camping Ground
4.5/5
Very nice spot on the beach with nice toilets, good beach, fire pots and a very nice bathtub heated by fire.
Amazing at night and well worth the 1.5 hours of keeping the fire alive. Stayed there for 2 nights, among the best campsites we have seen. Very recommended.

-
South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Te Anau ▷
Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park & Motels
2.5/5
Nice facilities, easy to find but not worth the cost.
View is not that great. Only ended up there since there were hardly any free ones around.

Very basic camping site with closed toilets on the beach.
