Chamberlains Ford Recreation Reserve
5.0/5
The toilets and BBQ area seemed to be almost brand new.
Very clean and the toilets were perfectly maintained, lots of newly planted trees/shrubs around and heaps of space. Go for a nice walk along the creek, would probably be nice for a swim in summer! There was even a security guy who patrolled a couple times during our stay. Ideal spot right outside of Christchurch before we returned our campervan to the airport.

Lake Alexandrina
3.5/5
Great location and very cheap ($5 per person).
There are toilets and a sink with a pump tap; however, the toilets are long-drops and you have to take all your rubbish with you upon leaving (this includes your used toilet paper). If that puts you off, this place is not for you. We on the other hand, loved the fact that we went to bed with a beautiful starry night view and woke up to a stunning view of the lake and surrounding mountains. All in all, a decent campsite for the price.

Timber Yard Point Lakeside Domain Camping Area
1.0/5
Massive place on the lake with great views.
We decided not to stay though, after driving around the site to look for a space, our camper was absolutely covered in huge mosquitoes, opted to go to Chamberlain's Ford instead which was definitely a good choice.
