Nice place...how was the road from the sealed road to the site...and I agree with your criticism of the lack of rubbish bins, but that could be said of any council in the country ...thay want our money but give us nothing in return!!!.💕🇳🇿
Omarama was really good; they had free rubbish bins at the dump station. The freedom camps around Cromwell managed by LINZ (the ones all around Lake Dunstan) all have free rubbish bins. Queenstown Lakes is the worst I've seen. The road going into 12 Mile Delta is good with no pot holes, but it is a bit steep and windy and a bit narrow for vehicles travelling in the opposite direction to pass. Although at least it's short. Those large buses in the photos all made it into 12 Mile Delta without issues. Looks like they're staying all summer.
I'm guessing they found summer work in the Queenstown region, and that campsite was their cheapest accommodation option? I only stay more than a week in one place if I've got work to do :)
Obviously, most New Zealanders already do that by buying cabbage, eggs, mushrooms and so forth that have either no packaging or just cardboard or paper. But it's not realistic to expect no rubbish. The Sunfed vegetarian meats I used to buy (before the company went bankrupt) are packed in plastic, so even when people choose vegetarian, they get stuck with plastic. People need medications that are packed in plastic. It's not fair on people to get judgemental about their lives and consumption when they often can't avoid plastic usage due to medical conditions. Feeling superior might be important to you, but I encourage you to also show empathy for those with different needs to us.
Lovely photos☺
Thanks Seraphi :) I hope you're having a good summer.
I'm a Lord of the Rings fan. I'll put it on my bucket list
The Lord of the Rings lookout is such a short walk from the campsite. This area has great views.

Thanks for an informative video. But if you are looking for rubbish bins please re-consider and look for ways to NOT make rubbish in the first place.
