Lake Pukaki Overnight Campervan Parking is a free camping spot with unreal views of Lake Pukaki and Mount Cook. It's perfect for self-contained vehicles, but make sure to arrive early to snag the best spots. While the facilities are basic (think drop toilets and no water supply), the breathtaking scenery more than makes up for it. Just be prepared for some windy conditions and potential crowds during peak times. Overall, it's a great spot to park up, relax, and soak in the stunning natural beauty of the area.

For photography: this location is best at sunset. Have your wide angle (16-35mm), mid range (24-70mm) and zoom lens (70mm and above) on hand to make the most of the beautiful views.
