Very spacious, secluded camping ground.

Only three other vehicles were there with us but because of the smart layout of the place it really felt like we were the only ones there. The toilets are located by the lake and are very clean, flush, and are equipped with soap and light. The views are stunning both from the camping area and the lake. Picnic tables in camping area and by the lake.

Easy walk.

However, it is very busy with tourists and based on the praise the site received in brochures and stuff I expected a lot more from it. Still a nice opportunity to stretch your legs and observe the impressive fjordland nature.

Beautiful hike.

Go up early to avoid the crowds. Great view over the Queenstown area and lake on one side and southern alpes on the other side. The way up is demanding for sure but not overly hard.

The location makes this campsite (and the price tag).

Easy walking distance from town center, groceries right around the corner. Well maintained and clean bathroom and kitchen facilities, cute layout, nice staff, lots of inspiration for activities and hikes in the area and overall friendly vibe. Most expensive site we stayed at but also the most convenient one in terms of location and facilities so the price seemed fair to us.

Hot showers, laundry, kitchen - it gets the job done, however the park is lacking in atmosphere and scenery.

The sites are pitched together so close, they feel more like a premium parking spot. Bathrooms were reasonably clean. Kitchen was clean as well but very packed and didn't even provide bins or tea towels. We found $50 a steep price for two people in an unpowered site quite close to the road.

Best thing to do in Auckland, impressive landscape and great views.

I'd recommend taking the coastal walkway and make your way back via summit road, lava caves and the summit (in that order) to avoid most of the crowds.

One of our favorite spots on the south island.

Close to the highway but very sheltered from the road. Overlooking the lake and My. Cook, a perfect place for a scenic and refreshing swim. Brilliant night sky. Coming early for a good spot is a must as it gets overcrowded towards the late afternoon. 4 new long drops which were very clean but of course began to smell in the evening as so many people were using them.

This a stepped track all the way up to the sealy tarns.

The track is very demanding especially when it's hot - the sun is just brutal and there's almost no shade along the way. We did the track between 11 am and 2 pm which in hindsight was very bad timing. The views were still worth it but next time I would start early in the morning.

This camp site didn't seem like much at first sight however, the hosts are very friendly and their passion for the place shows in the state of the facilities.

Kitchen and lounge area are very cozy and well equipped ( the only thing missing is an actual stove/cooking spot but if you can cook in your camper you're golden). Bathrooms are on the older site but we'll maintained and very clean. They even have a washer. It is very close to the highway and railroad but noises weren't a problem inside our van.

Well worth a stop eben if you aren't into bouldering/rock climbing.

Exploring the unique landscape was great fun. The big boulders are only 5 min from the parking lot but you can easily spend an hour walking around and through them.
