A DOC campsite on the shore of Lake Rotoiti at Kerr Bay, inside Nelson Lakes National Park and about 500 metres from the St Arnaud village shop, set among beech forest. The campsite is open all year, and bookings are required all year. There are six camping zones, and the Kiwi sites suit campervans. A day shelter has kitchen and cooking facilities, but no pots, pans or cutlery. Hot showers use tokens, which are sold by the camp host when on site or at the visitor centre during opening hours. Fires are not allowed, and dogs are not permitted. Sites are not suitable for vehicles longer than 7 metres. The website says bookings for Christmas, the classic boat show, the powerboat regatta and Easter fill quickly. Sites must be vacated by 10am on the day of departure, and there are no rubbish or recycling bins, so visitors take their rubbish out. St Arnaud is about 1 hour 30 minutes by road from Nelson or Blenheim.
