This basic campsite sits in the historic gold-mining country of Central Otago, near the township of St Bathans. It's a remote, peaceful spot with plenty of space to spread out, though there's little shelter, so it can catch the wind on exposed days. Facilities are simple: non-flush toilets and tap water that isn't treated, so boil it before drinking. Sites are non-powered and suited to tents. The setting makes it a great base for exploring the well-preserved St Bathans township with its old buildings and the striking Blue Lake, or for mountain biking the nearby Otago Central Rail Trail. If you're after a quiet, scenic stay steeped in pioneer history and don't mind roughing it a little, this is a rewarding place to camp.
