Best site so far.

Amazing views of the lake from tiered levels of pitches. Each pitch had it's own picnic bench. Great kitchen facilities with outdoor heated plates for BBQ. Clean spacious plentiful warm showers and toilets. Hospitable welcome. Very well organised. Direct access to lakefront through a coded gate where you can walk along the frankton track beside at lake into Queenstown ( 6km). Water taxi back at night takes you 400m from the site. Couldn't fault it tbh.

Stunning view of the lake and great facilities.

A must stay, especially if you’re a little road weary.

A Slice of Heaven with Exceptional Service!

Staying at Driftaway Campsite was an unforgettable experience. While its location in the heart of Queenstown feels like a piece of heaven, what truly sets this place apart is the remarkable quality of service provided by its team. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that this campsite isn’t just managed—it’s cared for, with a level of professionalism and passion that is rare to find.

I had to make a last-minute change to my booking, reducing my stay by one night, and requested that the refund for the cancellation be gifted as a tip to their incredible staff. To my surprise, they graciously declined and insisted on returning the amount to my account—an act that reflects their integrity and genuine care for their guests.

Driftaway isn’t just a campsite; it’s a sanctuary where attention to detail, customer care, and exceptional management combine to create a truly special experience. Whether it’s the spotless facilities, the breathtaking surroundings, or the warm and welcoming team, this place is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Queenstown in style and comfort.

Thank you, Driftaway team, for going above and beyond. I’ll cherish this stay and am already looking forward to returning!

We have stayed in a few campsites during our 3 week trip to New Zealand and Driftaway was definitely one of the best.

Everything was spotlessly clean and the bathrooms were like walking into a hotel facility.Absolutely loved our stay.

Best paid campsite we’ve stayed in after 2 weeks travelling the north island and the west coast of the South Island.

Facilities were immaculate. The kitchen had pots, pans and cooking utensils. There were plenty of hobs and barbecues. Bathrooms were clean and good showers except be careful as the self contained showers have a gap at the bottom so the next persons shower water can come into your shower cubicle

Hands down the best facilities of any campground I have ever stayed at.

Yes, it is more expensive than most but the value for the money was up there with the best I have experienced. Kitchen was fully kitted out and had the best views in Queenstown to boot, bathrooms plentiful, modern, clean and excellent quality. Hair dryers and straighteners provided- I’ve never known this level of luxury!

Don’t bother booking the “site with a view” unless you’re absolutely sold on needing an unobstructed view across the lake. The whole park looks up at the Remarkables and you can see the mountains from every site.

-1 point for squeezing 3 camper vans into a tiny corner space when half the park was empty, not sure why they would do this! Luckily my neighbours were lovely but it would have been pretty awkward if they were not.

**Driftaway Queenstown Review**

The place was incredibly cozy and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The amenities were well-maintained, making it feel like a home away from home.

One of the best aspects of Driftaway Queenstown is its convenient location. It is close to the bus route, which made getting around the area a breeze. The easy access to the city allowed us to explore Queenstown without any hassle.

Overall, Driftaway Queenstown exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and conveniently located place to stay in Queenstown.

Really good kitchen, showers/toilets, chill out area, eating area and staff!

I can see why it’s so popular- even in winter I was lucky to get the last spot just showing up at 10am. The views over the lake are great and for $49 (1 person unpowered) I can’t complain at all. Yes it might be more than other sites on your travels but it’s definitely worth it given the location and near Queenstown too.

We had the most amazing stay at Driftaway Queenstown.

It was within walking distance of the airport, and our villa was modern with no speck of dust to be found. The amenities were the best we'd ever seen in a caravan park, and the views of the lake were stunning.

We walked into Queenstown from Driftaway which was a fair walk, but prefect for anyone who wants to take in the beautiful scenery.

Highly recommend people stay here, we will be back one day!
