A self-service riverside campground near Wanaka, with first-come admission and different facilities on its two riverbank areas.

One campground, two riverbank areas

Albert Town is a Hampshire-managed campground near Wanaka, with Clutha and Hawea areas under one listing. It is not the serviced Brownston Street holiday park. The Clutha area has flush toilets and non-potable water; the Hawea area has long-drop toilets and no running water. Bring drinking water and choose the area with those differences in mind.

Arrive self-sufficient

There is no reception and no reservation system: pay by EFTPOS at an entrance and choose an available spot. The operator confirms no power, showers, kitchen or laundry. Bring your own cooking equipment, and read the separate Christmas/New Year conditions for each area. Dogs must stay leashed and attended. Confirm your equipment with the manager if its suitability is uncertain.

Check current site availability, arrival instructions and the full quote with Albert Town Campground before travelling.
