Location and attractions:

Albert Town Campground is a great spot right beside the Clutha & Hawea Rivers and all the bike tracks, including the very popular Deans Bank Track. There is also world class fly fishing right here at the Outlet. Please check the Fish and Game website for licence requirements and season dates.

Albert Town itself is well serviced by a Four Square supermarket, Albert Town Fish Co. restaurant, Fish and Chip Takeaway and the Prince Albert pub. Additionally, there is the Double Black cafe and Pembroke Patisserie to tickle your taste buds. Hook also offers you the chance to catch your own salmon and have it cooked on site as well as offering delicious snacks and wine in beautiful surroundings.

Facilities:

The Clutha side campground has basic facilities with flush toilets, running water and a rubbish skip.  The Hawea side has long drop toilets and no running water. The dump station is in Wanaka beside the Wanaka Lakeview Holiday Park.
