Dudding Lake is undergoing reconstruction to enhance its use of recreational water activities. The campground offers a concrete boat ramp, playground, bbq's, picnic area and toilets. There is a $10 service charge for any type of vehicle using the boat ramp (jet-ski users must pay as well to launch from here).

Dudding Lake is a deep coastal dune lake located within the Rangit?kei River Catchment and is popular for swimming, boating and fishing. This lake is monitored for public contact recreation on a weekly basis from 1 November through to 30 April for the presence of bacteria (measured as E. coli) and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae).
