Trotters Gorge Campsite
4.5/5
Modest area that is grassy, secluded, and a very short drive from boulders.
Just had long drops, but they were clean. Wasn't too busy when I was there, only 4 other cars. Zero sandflies, had a great time reading with the car open to the air.
May have difficulty accessing area during heavy rain. Light rain otherwise seemed fine.

Gillespies Beach Campsite
4.5/5
Drive on dirt road was fine.
Few sandflies. Beach access right off the parking lot. Clean facilities.
Recommend getting there before 5pm for some choice of a spot. Seems popular and the lot isn't really that big.

South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Queenstown Township ▷
Twelve Mile Delta Campsite
4.0/5
15mins from town.
Lots of people here the one night I was there, but spread out in a way that doesnt feel too crowded. Water is recommended to be boiled before use. Clean bathrooms, but otherwise no other facilities. Minimal sandflies.
Cheaper if you stay more days. There was a different rate for 4 or 7 consecutive day stays.
