Kidds Bush Reserve Campsite

Kidds Bush Reserve Campsite is a DOC-managed standard campsite on the shore of Lake Hāwea, within Hāwea Conservation Park in the Otago region.

Set in a large, grassy area shaded by mountain beech trees, the site offers 40 non-powered tent sites and is reached via Meads Road, a narrow gravel road about 32 km north of Wānaka off SH6. The road is not suitable for large campervans.

The lakeside setting invites swimming, fishing, and shoreline walks. A shelter and boat ramp are on site. Bookings are required, fires are not permitted at any time, and no dogs are allowed.

Note that tap water is unavailable in winter, when temperatures can be severe enough to freeze the pipes.
