Omakau Recreation Reserve and Camping Ground sits in Central Otago, metres from the renowned Otago Central Rail Trail between Alexandra and Ranfurly. This council-managed facility in the historic former gold mining settlement provides powered sites and hot showers for cyclists, travellers and freedom campers exploring the rail trail. The camping ground has undergone review by Central Otago District Council to ensure ongoing viability and alignment with community and tourism needs in this rural area. Its convenient location makes it a practical stopover for those travelling the trail or touring Central Otago's backcountry.
