Jacksons Inlet Freedom Camping
Jacksons Inlet Freedom Camping
Jacksons Inlet is a freedom camping area situated along State Highway 8 in the Cromwell Gorge, beside Lake Dunstan in Central Otago. It is a free site managed under LINZ camping regulations and is open to self-contained vehicles only — tents are not permitted.
The maximum stay is one night per calendar month, and the site has no toilet facilities, so a certified self-contained vehicle is essential. Stay limits are monitored and enforced.
Despite its roadside location, the gorge setting offers scenic surroundings typical of the Lake Dunstan area.
