The snippets reference a second, more basic campground across State Highway 6 from the main Albert Town Campground — reached via a gravel road about 2 km from the primary site.

Situated on the Clutha River / Mata-Au, this no-frills area offers non-powered sites with toilets but no tap water or showers. Payment is self-service via an eftpos machine at the entrance.

The site allows stays of up to 28 days, after which campers may move to the main campground. A swing bridge is a notable feature nearby, and the surrounding area provides easy access to walking tracks along the river.

The quieter, more remote feel makes it a popular choice for those seeking a simpler camping experience close to Wānaka.
