Nice site, but a bit too small for our 7,5m camper.

Great and clean facilities.

Thermal (hot) pools on a discounted price available, which was quite nice while it was pretty chill on our stay.

Great facilities, spot we got was near the entrance but big and quiet enough.

Lovely view from the park when the sun goes down. We didn't had time for it but you get a discount when you want to use the spa pools.

We reserved a powered site on this park.

The parking for our motorhome was very tight. We hardly slept because it was beside a highway so you can hear every car passing by. The set up of the bathroom is a deal breaker because the hot water button is outside the shower door which they set for 6 minutes. It means you have to push the button before you undress for shower and if you are not finished showering for 6 minutes the water will suddenly get cold. You can to wrap yourself up with a towel to open the shower door to push the hot water button again. Kitchen was small but clean. We went on a shoulder season so not to crowded in this place but if its summer then this place wont have enough space since their amenities for the Holiday park is too small.

The best place we've tried so far.

All accomodities are great. Showers, Toilets, laundry, wifi... Two thumbs up !

Camped for 3 nights in tent.

Didn't do my research well but these details weren't on the site as information before booking. The suburb or place the camp part is in is called "Hilltop" so it's terribly windy and not good of you're in a tent. The camping ground is right in the flight path of the airport, and the ground to pitch tents in the powered area is hard. Toilets and showers are unisex but good.

Tidy nice grounds.

Clean and tidy bathrooms, toilets, kitchen and dining area. Also a sheltered outdoor BBQ and dining area. Showers are timed for six minutes but are free. Laundry facilities are good ($4 per load to wash, and increments of $1 for drying depending on how long you want to dry). The hot pool resort on site is nice - you still have to pay entry but it's $11 per adult instead of $22, and you can use the private hot pools. The walk downhill and into town along Taupo lake is nice and takes about half an hour (we Ubered back up). The only downside is the cost - we paid $52 for two people for a powered site, however we felt it was worth it for a good rest and recharge/shower/do laundry stop

Very pricey, especially considering that you have to pay extra for using the hot pools.

A bit on the noisy side near the road.

Booked a camp site and when we arrived there was a bunch of cut grass bags on the site. Also broken beer bottle pieces all over the site. Had to first pick all those up before pitching our tent. The ground is really hard and stoney. Not so nice for tenting.

Facilities are first class. Beautiful unisex bathrooms. Showers 6 minutes with a button on the outside of the shower.

Hot pools were very nice. One has to unfortunately pay extra again to use the slides. Children's area was unfortunately not in working order. Apparently there was something wrong with the pipes. Would have been nice to get a discount for the kids because they could not use the area.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom flat, lots of space, tiny kitchen, pools not included in your booking price so a bit expensive for what you get.

Free wifi, hot showers but not well set out with the whole bathroom wet once your finished. Good location 3 min drive from town up a steep hill.

Crooks.

Not only it is highly expensive, but you have to pay in addition for the swimming pool (I don’t mean the spa). The woman at the pool was unfriendly and inflexible. Spoiled by tourists, find better places which deserve your money.

We got the last cabin (school holidays) and we were most disappointed at what we got for the price.

Paid $97, we got 1/2 a 2 bed-room cabin. Basically they locked the door between the rooms and passed it off as a separate cabin. Our neighbours got a double bed, microwave and fridge, we got a bunk and a single bed, table and a tiny TV. No sink, no fridge, no cooking facilities or microwave, just barely room enough to swing a cat. Mattresses were foam and very uncomfortable. Just to put it into perspective, the night before at Rotorua we paid the same price for a 2 bedroom cabin, toilet and shower, electric cook-top, fridge, microwave, double bed and bunks. The rest of the facility was first class, cleanest toilets and kitchen I saw in 3 weeks in NZ, you also get $11 off per person nearby at the hot pools.

Small sites, reasonably separated by hedges.

Toilets and showers were very new, heated and extremely clean.

Nice staff and great location.

The pools are great and we spend a couple of very rainy days here. You can even select your exact spot online. Bathrooms are unisex.

It's a good place in Taupo for backpackers if you stay longer than 3 days at the camping ground.

The kitchen facilities are good and you can take stuff from the reception. The toilets are clean in comparison to other places.

Could have been a 10 but when we stayed they were renovating the bathrooms...

building took priority over campers. Very hard to get past the scaffolding to use the bathrooms. Nice camp site and bonus cheap entry to the hot pools which were fantastic on a cold wet night.

The DeBrett spa pools were very nice and enjoyable.

The campground was fine but very dense and was the noisiest place we stayed in the entire 4 weeks we were in New Zealand. Upon arriving, they asked us is we would like any spa treatments and when we tried to book something, there was no availability for anything over the next 24 hours - not sure why they asked us and handed us a brochure at check in when they had nothing available - and this was April which is not a peak time of year... A good one time experience but would not ever return to.
