Burton Creek Recreation Reserve is a freedom camping area on the shores of Lake Dunstan in Central Otago, situated just outside the town of Clyde and adjacent to the Clyde Dam — New Zealand's second-largest hydroelectric dam.
The site is owned by Contact Energy, which operates the Clyde Power Station. The reserve accommodates up to 15 certified self-contained vehicles, with a maximum stay of three consecutive nights.
It sits directly on the Dunstan Trail, making it a popular stop for cyclists, and offers easy access to the lake's edge for walking and exploring. The location provides expansive views across Lake Dunstan, with the town of Clyde a short ride or drive away.
