Lindis Pass Historic Hotel Campsite

Lindis Pass Historic Hotel Campsite is a free, basic camping and picnic area situated alongside the Lindis River in the Lindis Valley, Otago region of New Zealand's South Island.

The site sits within a historic reserve containing the remains of the old Lindis Pass Hotel, and a short walk leads to a hut once belonging to "Wattie" Thompson, the last miner to work the area.

Old bridge piers and interpretive signage about local history add to the setting. Access is via Old Faithful Road off State Highway 8, a narrow, steep 6 km unsealed road unsuitable for large campervans.

Facilities are minimal, with long-drop toilets available; water is not provided. Fires are not permitted at any time, camping within 20 metres of the hotel ruins is prohibited, and visitors are asked not to remove historical artefacts from the reserve.
