You have access to well-maintained communal facilities within the park, including a Camp Kitchen and BBQ areas that are perfect for socialising with other travellers while preparing your own alpine feast. For those gearing up for a day on the slopes or the trails, the Bike/Ski Storage ensures your equipment is ready to go as soon as you finish breakfast. If you are looking for the best coffee in the immediate area, Bespoke Kitchen is a local favourite located just a short walk away: it offers a strong brew and a fresh, seasonal menu in a beautiful garden setting.

When you are after an affordable and casual meal that is a true Queenstown rite of passage, Fergburger is just down the road and world-famous for its massive, gourmet burgers. For a quality sit-down dinner with a view, Stratosfare Restaurant & Bar at the top of the Skyline Gondola provides a premium buffet experience overlooking the town and Lake Wakatipu. To experience an iconic local venue for a drink, Eichardt’s Bar on the lakefront has been a staple since the gold rush era, offering a sophisticated atmosphere and an impressive wine list. If you prefer a more laid-back vibe, the Atlas Beer Café is the go-to spot for craft beer enthusiasts and mountain bikers alike.

You can base yourself here to enjoy seamless access to the very best of the adventure capital. The park’s Tour Desk is an invaluable resource for booking everything from bungee jumps to lake cruises, ensuring you make the most of your time in the region. Since you are located just a few minutes’ walk from the Skyline Gondola, you can easily spend an afternoon racing down the Luge tracks or taking in the panoramic views from Bob’s Peak. The central location also means the shops, galleries, and vibrant nightlife of the town centre are right on your doorstep.

The surrounding alpine landscape offers endless opportunities for exploration throughout the seasons. In winter, the proximity to world-class ski fields like Coronet Peak and The Remarkables makes this an ideal hub for snow sports fans, while the summer months are perfect for hiking the Queenstown Hill Time Walk for 360-degree basin views. You should also take the time to stroll along the Queenstown Gardens peninsula for a peaceful escape with stunning lakefront vistas. For a day trip further afield, the historic gold-mining town of Arrowtown is just a short drive away, offering charming streets and beautiful riverside walks.

The park is incredibly popular due to its central location: if you are travelling with a large vehicle or campervan, aim to arrive as close to check-in as possible to navigate the park layout and settle into your site before the evening rush.
