Summer 101 - Camping
We welcome responsible campers to the Queenstown Lakes District. Find out how and where to camp this summer season.
Quick links
Camp responsibly
Responsible campers share the responsibility of being guardians of this stunning landscape. We hope that you will make the most of our wild playground this summer, and care for it as we do by leaving no trace and help keep our communities and natural environment free from pollution and waste.
For more information on camping responsibly in our district, check out our Responsible Camping webpage.
Local campgrounds
There are many places you can camp, ranging from fully serviced holiday parks to DOC (Department of Conservation) campsites. Check out our Responsible Camping webpage for a list of locations, or download the CamperMate App for further information.
How to report an issue
Non-urgent issues:
Help keep us informed and report any poor behaviour, such as rubbish dumping or illegal parking. Email us at
Or if you’re on the go, the Snap Send Solve app can also be used to report these issues.
Please note, email and snap send solve will not be monitored over the Christmas closedown period.
Need to report something more urgent?
If you have a more urgent issue to report, such as excessive noise or illegal camping, please phone 03 441 0499 (Queenstown) or 03 443 0024 (Wānaka) 24/7 to request Enforcement Officers to visit.
When reporting issues please provide as much information as possible. Vehicle registration, colour and make, and details of specific locations are all helpful for Council Officers.
Summer Ambassadors
You may spot our team of eight Summer Ambassadors travelling around the district over the warmer months. They’ll be visiting freedom camping spots to share information on how to camp sustainably, promote local campsites, and will be encouraging campers to make the Tiaki promise.
