Plan your stop

Before you go

Best time to visit

Autumn is the showstopper—Arrowtown’s famous colors and the Autumn Festival draw crowds. Book early and expect fuller facilities.
Winter brings limited valley sunshine and icy mornings—pack warm layers and consider a site or cabin closer to the amenities.
For quieter kitchens and showers, aim for early mornings or dine outside peak dinner hours.

Access & Getting Around

The bus stop at the gate makes car‑free trips easy. Queenstown Airport is roughly a 20‑minute drive away.
From the park, it’s an easy link to Arrow River walking/biking and other local trails.
