Lake Opuha
About
Found in South Island, Lake Opuha - Bennetts Road is a local business. The campsite sits at Opuha Gorge Road, Ashwick Flat 7987, Nueva Zelanda, in the inland country around the lake.
As a campsite, the site serves visitors travelling with tents and vehicles, and the southcanterbury.org.nz page at https://southcanterbury.org.nz/event-location/lake-opuha-picnic-and-camping-area/ carries its details. Visitors give it 3.9 out of 5 from 17 reviews, a modest tally typical of a small camping area. First-time visitors should expect a basic outdoor pitch rather than a serviced holiday park.
Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the warmest months are the natural window. The Southern Alps run down the South Island, and the North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
Christchurch and Dunedin lie within reach for supplies, while Queenstown and Wanaka sit further inland on the same touring routes. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
