    Massive, oversized camp sites.

    Backs onto lake. Friendly and tidy owners. Only negative was strict checkout time but not a dealbreaker!

    Great place right on the lake.

    Very quiet despite being on the main road. Free hot showers. Toilets and shower areas are a bit dated. Washer and dryer available for $2 each. Owner very friendly and helpful. Lovingly run place.

    Gorgeous location, we stayed right next to the water in an unpowered site.

    Nice and quiet, the service at the front desk was wonderful and the services were well equipped.

    Super endroit très calme au bord du lac, bien mieux entretenu, calme et moins cher que le gros camping au bord du lac un peu plus tôt sur la route quand on vient de Taupo !

    Je recommande, cuisine en très bon état, douches nickel

    $25pp for a non powered self contained vehicle.

    Since there isn’t too many free option in the area I thought this was well worth the money for convenience to Tongariro Alpine crossing the next day. They have all the amenities and most importantly well maintained/clean. My only issue was mosquitos!!! Those pesky things got into my van and were buzzing around my head all night haha but that is no other than my fault

    Price is ok, $54 for an unpowered campsite by the water.

    pro’s your by the water, and the showers were pretty decent.

    con’s the highway is right behind you.

    Hot tip.

    Avoid using the washing machine and drier if you stay here almost like I threw my clothes into the lake, then put a fan on them for $24 most expensive wash load of my life.

    Nice staff but site was quite crowded, had tents pitched on powered sites which made things a bit tight.

    Toilets and Showers clean. Good access to Taupo boat launch sites, fish cleaning facilities on site too.

    We got lucky to get a powered site for our campervan here.

    Nice place to stay. Lovely playground, good equipped kitchen, small shop to stock up, just a little lack in showers. For us no problem as we are not on a hurry. We got a warm welcome by the owners.

    One of our favourite campsites on our 4 week trip.

    Really nice owners, we could pick if we wanted to camp at the lake or up the hill. The lake view was just great, the kitchen by the lake was small but worked out and the bathroom and showers were clean. We also used the big common room with pool table, darts. It also had an extra big kitchen and lots of space outside to play soccer or football. And we only payed $39 for 3 on a powered site (winter time).

    The location of the camp site is excellent, right on the edge of the water.

    Only two showers though and water pressure is pretty weak. No more coin operated shower which is great because there is no way I can shampoo and conditioning my hair in under 6 mins.

    One of the friendliest campsites in NZ.

    right on the edge of lake Taupo. Easily fitted our 6 berth van into the lake view site. Facilities are great and very clean. There is also wi-fi that reaches most of the camp if you need to stay connected. Also great coffee vendor near the marina. Can't wait to go back there.
