Great campsite on a lake by forests, friendly staff.
Unfortunately although they advertise kayak hire and mountain bike hire, it’s not true. So you can’t explore the lake by kayak or enjoy the numerous mountain bike trails from the site - and that’s mainly why we went. And it’s not on lake Rotorura, it’s a smaller lake to the south.

Very big campsite.
Helpfull desk, explained the membership (we took cause of the ferrydiscount), suggested walks and booked our Maori-experience for us. It was our first campsite so we played it safe. Very clean facilities. A bit expensive and touristy in hindsight but then it's a holidaypark and you know what to expect from a chain. Nice walk around the blue lake which is also a watersport and swim-lake.

For a Top10 camping, the facilities were pretty basic.
There are hot showers but only limited to 5min.
I recommend not to chose this camping because of the name, the lake is on the other side of a road and not that pretty.

Nice location and pitches, but that is about it.
We were told the wrong price over the phone, so not a good start when we turned up. Everything else was just a bit of a pain - nice clean kitchen but NOTHING out, you have to go ask reception for everything - ridiculous! Unless you are a Top10 member you got no WiFi. Also be aware some networks will have no signal here either! Showers etc all nice and clean, did spot a vehicle wash area on way out too. They just need to ease up on some silly policies.

Very rude management which makes it a very unpleasant place to stay.
Said I was very disappointed as we always choose to stay here, and owner replied, so do thousands of others. Obviously return customers are not highly regarded. Very noisy at night and early morning on weekends. I would never stay here again and would definitely not recommend here to anyone. There are quite a few holiday parks to chose from so avoid this one.

The facilities were always clean and tidy and the staff helpful. The location is excellent, far enough away from town to enjoy the quiet of the lake and surrounding bush, but close enough that all the attractions and services of town are accessible. We will definitely be back.

HI Folks,
The BBQ was good. Of course the price is expected for a Top 10 holiday park. The location wasn't very spectacular. The lakes have not been as attractive as expected. We used the place after a day in Rainbow springs and headed further south after a good night sleep.
Cheers
