Great campsite, yes the whole place is a bit old and could do with a refurb...

but it has character and the train theme is very cool with the old train cars standing around being used as rooms. Very reasonably priced with free hot showers and free use of all kitchen and bbq facilities. Lots of kitchen equipment and fresh warm bread every morning.

Amazing views, just under the mountain so be prepared for an impressive view in the morning if you arrive after nightfall like we did.

Okay public toilets. It’s a very very big gravel car park so you’ll always find a spot to park. There’s a cool walk up to the bottom of the ski field which is well worth the effort. Road up is steep but is smooth and sealed so should be accessible for all vehicles.

Lots of space to park.

Close to the river. Toilets are decent but no lights so bring a torch. There’s a small sink to wash up in as well as a water tap to refill water bottles and tanks.

Nice place by the river and with nice views of the mountains.

Lots of flat grassy area to park large campers as well as some sheltered areas amongst the trees further down to park smaller vans. Ok toilet and a few large bins which is good as they don’t overflow with rubbish like most do.

Great little place to stay as long as you like.

$34 for 2 of us in a van, and you get access to all he facilities inside in backpackers. Large kitchen that is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more... large communal lounge and dining area. Decent toilets and showers as well as a laundry room... all included! Oh and there’s a large pool out the back that is probably best in the summer months. Can’t fault this place and a very friendly owner. Stay here if you’re anywhere near this area.

We arrived late, it was dark, was kinda hard to tell where to park.

We saw a few cars parked amongst the trees. Ended up getting our 2wd van stuck and took a few of us and a lot of bad words to get it back up onto the road. Don’t go down between the trees unless it’s dry and it’s flat as it slopes down in most places and there’s lots of roots which make it hard to turn and get out again! Ended up following the road up a bit to a larger gravel parking area with lots of vans around, so that’s probably a safer option... toilets are decent and nice location as long as it doesn’t get too crowded but you should always be able to find a spot either way.

Very nice little campsite.

Has lots of little “booths” to park in surrounded by trees so it feels nice and private. Clean flushing toilets and cold showers. Has a room for cooking(no equipment just work surface). There is no office as such, but a camp host is always on site. If you’re arriving early it’s best to go to the visitor centre and pay there where they give you the little slip to display that youve payed, if arriving late you’ll have to either find the camp host, or just park up somewhere and they’ll be round in the morning to collect fees. Was $26 for two of us in a van. Very close to lake with some nice walks.

Site is large flat area just by the main road, we parked the van a little further down closer to the river.

Brilliant backdrop of the large stone cliffs on the other side of the river. Fires ARE allowed and there’s lots of fire pits from previous people down amongst the rocks closer to the river. Only complaint is the toilet was swarmed with mosquitos. Have never seen so many in my life. Made it impossible to use toilets, otherwise brilliant site.

Just a gravel car park off the main road.

Lots of space unlike the other free one a little further down which only has 4 spaces... no toilets or anything but 10 mins walk and your in the town centre which is good. We went to town and had some dinner and then went back and weren’t really disturbed by any road noise.

Just a Car park by marina.

Lots of spaces but only in the marked area. There’s a big box on the floor marking where you can camp. Marina toilets say only for marina berthers but they are always open so can be used... the nearby public swimming pool offers showers for a small fee which is good. There’s also a bus stop across the road into town and we ended up walking back which wasn’t too bad either. Decent location if you wanna stay free near the ferry terminals.

Just a car park, the designated camper van spaces are marked and these are the only spaces you are allowed to park in- a ranger came round in the evening to check.

Nice public toilets just across the green. Short walk into town so good location and close to the lake.
