About this campsite

Sheltered lakeside camping at Boat Harbour, Lake Benmore. Council-run site near Otematata with boat ramp access, mature trees, and facilities for caravans and tents.

Boat Harbour camping ground sits beside the main boat ramp at Lake Benmore near Otematata in the Waitaki District. This sheltered site features mature trees surrounding a large open central area, accommodating both caravans and tents. Managed by Waitaki District Council, the campground operates on an honesty payment system with fees paid to the warden or via an honesty box at the entrance. Restroom facilities are provided, though open fires are not permitted and dogs must be kept on leads. The site's proximity to the boat ramp makes it popular with boaties and anglers accessing Lake Benmore, while supplies can be obtained from the shop in nearby Otematata township.
