4.0/5

Location is convenient if you want to jump off a bridge.
Bathrooms and WiFi at the bungy place are great. Parking lot was full of campers by 9-10 pm. It doesn’t seem like they are enforcing the number of vehicles. There are no bathrooms after the bungy place closes.

are u fkn serious?? Queenstown is already horrible with the freedom camping, even though a big part of this city relies on tourists. I think it’s quite rude that the council would do such a thing. the porter potties were already horribly disgusting but at least there was something. Now, two weeks later, theyre all gone.

Great spot, but coordinates are wrong.
Don’t follow coordinates, as it will lead you up a mountain that is very hard to turn around on with a Campervan. It’s across the street from what coordinates say called Kawarau - Freedom Camp Self-Contained Vehicles only. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Tears were shed. Other than that, lovely spot!!

Site is the carpark for the bungy place, with toilets.
Next to main road so a little noisy but spacious carpark

Well, that spot is the parking for the visitors that go to the bungy jumping at the Old Bridge.
Obviously, at 5pm it's empty and until 7am it's pretty quiet and scary.

No toilets during the night but when the bungy complex opens they are amazing. There is a cafe too inside.

Convenient spot if you don't need to use a toilet and if you arrive late and only to stay overnight.

Stayed here and then did the bungee in the morning-just a carpark but cool that they let you stay here for free.

About 6 dedicated carparks set aside for campervans.
Sites allowed to be used from 5pm to 9am. Sites about 10m from main highway, so pretty noisy. Could be prone to boy racers coming through in the middle of the night.
