Omakau Recreation Reserve Camping Ground sits on Alton Street in the small Central Otago township of Omakau, making it a popular stop for cyclists tackling the nearby Otago Central Rail Trail.

The campground occupies the local council sports reserve and offers non-powered tent sites as well as cabins, with well-regarded shower and kitchen facilities keeping the site clean and functional.

The reserve setting means campers are within easy reach of a golf course, astroturf courts, squash courts, cricket and rugby grounds, and a children's playground.

Reviewers consistently praise the excellent value, tidy communal areas, and the attentive on-call host. The grounds also serve as the venue for the annual AMP show.
