Escape to the serene shores of Lake Poaka, a stunning free campsite nestled beside the picturesque Pukaki Canal. It's the perfect spot to disconnect and use as your base for exploring the wider Twizel area. You'll find plenty of space to set up camp, whether you're in a tent or a campervan, and the basic long-drop toilets are a small price to pay for the incredible scenery. Just be sure to take it slow on the 2.5km gravel road that leads you into this peaceful lakeside haven.
