There are several camping spots among the conifers. Most camping areas would fit all size campers. Some places are in the open, while other spots you're able to tuck yourself in amongst the trees.
If you have a camper that's on the large side, there's an area a couple of hundred metres further along the highway where you can turn left immediately before the Pukaki-Ohau canal bridge. It leads to a sealed road that runs alongside the Canal (popular for fishing) and has several entrances to a flat, grassed area suitable for any height or length camper.
Some of the ground is carpeted in pine cones - the smell of conifers fitted perfectly with the Christmas season.
I'm not sure why it's called a 'Lake' ... it looks like a tiny pond.
If the Mackenzie district continues with the hot, dry, windy days it has had of late, I think Lake Wardell may very well disappear.
Gorgeous spot. When we were there the trees were in their autumn colours. Got some lovely photos of reflections in the lake. Managed to catch two trout. Happy travels and love reading your blogs as we back home planning next adventures. Joan
ReplyDeleteHi Joan, I can imagine how pretty it would look with autumn reflections on the lake. Enjoy planning for your next trip. Safe travels.
