    Didn’t need to book, just called ahead to ask if there was space and there was.

    Good facilities and close by town. Wifi seems good. Plenty of cooking facilities available.

    Paid $68 for 2 people at a non powered site.

    Fine campground with all the facilities you need including dryers and ironing. No complaints but poor value for money.

    Paud 61$ for 2person/powered site.

    Was not able to book via rankers/homepage directly, only on request was possible.

    Facilities are nice and clean.

    Sites are big.

    But close to the road, so noise in the morning.

    No close access to the lake (walking distance for a short swim)

    A decent holiday park with clean facilities, but the playground is quite small and tired.

    I feel it is overpriced compared to what is offered (even within Taupo which feels more expensive than the other places we visited in NZ)

    Decent little campground in a nice setting.

    Little bit away from the town but it's nice. Clean facilities, nice receptionist. Pretty sure I remember free WiFi which is always a bonus. Would recommend

    Very nice place and compared to other campsites near by only 29 dollars.

    Close to the street, but you won't notice. Extremely nice and welcoming host, even got a welcome gift. Toilets, showers, kitchen all good and clean.

    This is a big holiday park with lots of space!

    Nice hot showers and laundry facilities. My only complaint would be that it’s right off a busy road and we could hear traffic all night.

    Paid $52 per night for a 2 person powered site (no unpowered available).

    The facilities were dated but clean enough. There is wifi, but unusable slow.

    Swimming in the lake is a short drive away. Friendly manager.

    It's okay, but in my opinion not worth $52.

    Really nice staff and close to the town centre.

    It has all the facilities you need, and a decent amount of showers, however it is very dated.

    Perfectly serviceable for a night, however I didn’t choose to extend my stay beyond that.

    Very good facilities, exceptionally clean and well organised.

    Friendly staff. 5 of us on motorbikes and tents loved it. Only complaint, it is a tad expensive. Oh and the Taupo public information office don't seem to notice it exists. We found it by fluke.

    Facilities are rather basic, especially for the price!

    22$ pppn! Says online price ranges from 11-20!! The price of 22$ is also supposed to include free WiFi, free use of laundry etc.. yet having to pay for each of these on top of the price! wouldn’t mind too much but only in a car that needs no electrical or water lines to it.
