Good place to stay a night or two. Right on the lake but unfortunately it rained. Toilets were more or less clean

Nice view before go to Akaroa. There was a public toilet without water. Just cross a small wooden bridge.

Free and close to Christchurch but not super nice. The lake was foamy and had a moderate toxic algae warning and an unpleasant smell. Lots of waterfowl which were gorgeous and chatty. We also made the mistake of leaving the window open at night with the light on. So many bugs were in our campervan.

Not really ideal to stay overnight as it is on the main road, it attracts bogans (see other reviews). There's safe and friendly camping at the Little River Campground a few k's up the road. in Okuti Valley. It's where I live.

Lake flies and on the highway so noisy. The lake is not swimable and can be polluted by algae. Stay at the Little river campground instead.

Good spot by the lake. We stayed here in our self contained vehicle for one night. At around 10pm a car of disenchanted youths arrived to drink and smoke weed, and whilst they were not too disruptive to us, they did smash some bottles, left a mess and drove off drunk and high. Of course, the freedom campers will get the blame for the mess, as is much the case across NZ - locals refuse to accept that many of the issues with environmental respect lies within their own community and not with self contained van folk.

It's a portaloo in a layby. It allows freedom camping I believe, but I doubt it would be restful as it's right by the road. Pleasant lakeside view
