12 Mile Delta Campsite, Queenstown, Otago, New Zealand

12 Mile Delta is a low cost Department of Conservation (DOC) campsite next to Lake Wakatipu, 12 km out of Queenstown. It's a beautiful campsite and it's also known as one of the filming locations for the Lord of Rings movies (Ithilien camp scene).
You do not need to have a certified self-contained vehicle to stay here, so you can stay in tents or vans that don’t have the CSC sticker. As the campsite does not require campers to have CSC vehicles, you can use solar showers and tip the grey water into the trees, so long as you do it around the campsite and not anywhere near the lake.
Boil water and cool it before you drink it or brush your teeth with it. Brushing your teeth or spitting in rivers and lakes is forbidden in New Zealand.
The campsite is named 12 Mile Delta as it’s located on a river delta at the outlet of Twelve-Mile Creek.
If you're planning to stay often at Department of Conservation (DOC) campsites, you may want to purchase a campsite pass. You can choose either a 30-night or 365-night Campsite Pass. You can read about that here:
