The 52-year-old had been drinking and playing loud music.
A fellow camper asked the man to turn the music down so he could sleep, but was told to leave or he would shoot them.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police were called to the area about 11.30pm, but the 52-year-old had driven off in a vehicle.
He was located nearby and processed for drink driving.
‘‘He blew 600mcg, but elected a blood sample so we are awaiting those results before deciding on charges,’’ he said.
‘‘They’re likely to be drink driving.’’
