Pinders Pond
Pinders Pond
Pinders Pond campground sits on the eastern bank of the Clutha River, about five kilometres south of Roxburgh in Central Otago.
The site occupies a former hydraulic elevation pond — a dredge hole created during gold-sluicing operations run by the Teviot and Molyneux Gold Mining Company around 1902.
Mature trees frame the water, and interpretation panels on site explain the area's mining history. The reserve is managed by Central Otago District Council and allows overnight stays of up to three nights.
It accommodates tents, campervans, caravans, and large rigs, with toilet facilities on site. Open fires are not permitted.
The pond itself is a popular safe swimming spot, and the Clutha Gold Trail passes nearby, making it a convenient stop for cyclists riding between Roxburgh and Millers Flat.
