Cairnmuir Motor Camp

Cairnmuir Motor Camp sits in Bannockburn, in the heart of Central Otago's desert landscape, about 10 minutes from Cromwell and right on the doorstep of the Lake Dunstan Cycle Trail.

The camp offers a traditional country camping experience with both powered and unpowered sites for tents, campervans, and caravans, as well as cabin accommodation sleeping anywhere from 1 to 10 guests.

Cabins are not self-contained — beds are supplied but there are no private cooking facilities, toilets, or showers.

The campground is within walking distance of Bannockburn Inlet, making it a handy base for swimming, boating, and other water activities on Lake Dunstan.

Families are well catered for with an on-site playground, and shared facilities include a kitchen, laundry, communal areas, and a dump station.
