Positioned directly on the shoreline of Lake Ohau, Round Bush Campsite offers peaceful alpine lake camping surrounded by mountain ridgelines and wide open sky. This DOC standard campground attracts campervan travellers who prefer quieter lake environments compared to heavily developed destinations such as Tekapo and Pukaki.

The campsite layout is simple and grassy, allowing campervans and motorhomes to park close to the water with uninterrupted lake views. Facilities are basic but functional, consistent with DOC standard camping style. The open positioning provides exceptional visibility across the lake while maintaining a feeling of privacy due to the low density of surrounding development.

The surrounding environment offers outstanding opportunities for swimming, paddleboarding and lakeside walking. Mountain reflections on calm mornings create ideal photography conditions, while afternoon breezes bring dynamic water movement across the lake surface. Nearby alpine valleys provide access to hiking routes and seasonal snow sports areas.

For campervan travellers, Round Bush works especially well as a multi night base for those exploring the Mackenzie Basin and Ohau region. Arriving during daylight allows travellers to secure prime lakeside positions and orient vehicles for wind protection.

Round Bush delivers tranquil alpine lake camping that prioritises scenery and calm atmosphere over commercial development.
