Short distance from Rotorua.
Very beautiful spot near Blue Lake, we went in the water, but it was pretty cold. Large campground with everything we needed. Two playgrounds, clean and spacious kitchen, clean and heated (in October) facilities.

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.

We had an awesome stay with Top10 - the facilities were all very clean and well maintained despite our stay falling in rain season.

Staff were amazing & friendly demonstrating their manaaki by going above and beyond to dry our soaking wet mattress in quick time. Nga mihi, we will be back some time

Awesome park, bathrooms are super clean and shower is better then mine at home!
Staff are friendly and always smiling. Heaps for the kids to do, not far from rotorua central but feels a world apart. Would definitely visit again.

This was the most extensive campsite from our three weeks trip but by far the worst value for money.
No internet at our site, toilets and showers were porta cabin, no mirrors hairdryer/hand dryer. Not a warm welcoming either

Nice kitchen facilities and a decent amount of showers.
The main feature is undoubtedly the view of the lake, which is directly across the road.
On a sunny day, it’s well worth the fee.

Thought $60 a bit expensive for a powered site.
Nice location, big site with parrots flying in the trees. Made use of the free hot tub. Office said they stayed open until 8pm but had closed up by 7.40pm.

Popped In Tues 1 Feb to have a look around prior to a prospective stay.
Asked to pay $5 each to view the Park.
Said no immediately as this is the worst of worst in public relations.
All our camping friends totally agree with our stance.

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.

A super clean and spacious camping ground.
Well laid out with clean and modern facilities. Some lovely shady spots too.
Camp ground needs a heated swimming pool for out of season swimming (lake will be freezing).
Really friendly staff.

We attended the park and we were very disappointed in how we were treated.
Some issues came up and we asked to speak to the manager, unfortunately she was very rude. I’m a 28 year old professional and was spoken to very poorly. Customer service really needs to improve.
