4.0/5
Nice spot on the lake.
Yeas there are caravans, but it's enough space for new vehicles.
Toilets are cleaned and water should be boiled.
Would stay here again. And as a plus Edoras/Mt. Sunday is close.

Nice enough campsite, simple and exactly what we needed for the night.
$10 for the night (although we just had $20s so paid double!). Nowhere to write details so very much an honour system. Lots of empty caravans which reduced the spaces but we were there in October so it wasn’t too busy (just us and 1 other camper). There was a toilet with a system to throw water down to “flush” down the long drop but no shower (looks like there a simple one for summer but not outside that I’d guess). Water was available to top up tanks etc but don’t think it was drinkable.

Really nice basic campsite.
Clean toilet, a lot of empty caravans but that doesn't bother. The road ist a bit rough but worth the drive. The lake is beautiful and amazing to swim in. NO Signal in the whole area but you can buy WIFI at the campsite. 5 $ for 24 hours. There is a great trail arround the lake. A great place to spend some time offline.

Very pretty spot, however empty caravans prevail, many of them.
Very very few spaces for travellers, and many of those have been blocked off by absent residents of the long long term caravans.
$10 per night, but no envelopes available, so wrote a note and dropped in box with the $10.
It's nice that fizz boats etc aren't permitted on this lake. Very basic toilet facility, has water which has to be boiled first
Rating would be higher if not filled with empty vans.
