Really nice park, friendly owner, all the facilities were spotless.
Showers are completely free and have changing cubicles attached.
The washer and dryers are very efficient and theres a clothesline too.
Would definitely visit again.
If you’re into fishing there’s a huge selection of equipment in the office for sale.

An awesome place!
We stayed two nights and loved the amenities. Showers, toilets, kitchen and laundry facilities were super clean. Showers free, unlimited hot water, washing machine and dryers able to take big loads and actually got things dry in the one hour cycle! The kids enjoyed the pool and playground and our wee dog enjoyed his off leash time on the nearby playing fields. We were in a stoned powered site so with the little bits of rain we had we were dry under food with no mess being dragged through the caravan. Close to the Zorb and Luge experiences. Hosts are super friendly and we would definitely stay again.

I chose this as it looked as if it was on the edge of the lake and it had a good Rankers rating.
We were told there were only 4 pitches left… which was true as all the rest of the camp site is a jumble of quite run down permanently parked caravans. Our next door neighbour had left a big bucket of dirty washing up by the joint electric point, which made for a pleasant view! There were only 3 showers and only 3 washing machines. Facilities were all clean and staff friendly enough.. It’s not lakeside, although the walk is only 2 mins. On walking down I saw the campgrounds opposite has water side spots, I’d definitely go there next time. Overall, ok for a quick overnight if you can’t find anything better.

Owner was super friendly and had a lot of advice for the surrounding area.
You can also buy tickets for different attractions with a discount on site. Shower have no timer and we're nice and clean. Bathrooms are a bit on the small side, but we're clean. Kitchen facilities also on the small side but everything was clean. There were a couple of bbqs free for all as well. There is a living room area with TV and a couple of couches. Intenet is free and with a good speed. There is also a swimming pool and a hot tub. The Rotorua lake lake is 3 minutes away. And it doesn't smeel like sulfur in this area! Great place to stay

Really have to give it up to the people running this place.
Called as they were closing, as we couldn't find a spot in the Rotorua area, and they waited for us to show up ~30 minutes after they had closed the reception area. Good facilities: kitchen with toaster, fridges, a bbq area outside. There was a TV room that I didn't get to try out, a playground, close to the lake with a gorgeous purple sunset. Hot shower and wifi included in cost of $12 per person. Wifi connection was good. Showers and toilets in separate buildings. I recommend for you to call and book with them.

Great customer service from office.
Facilities are clean and modern. Showers hot and free. Neat park with unlimited free wifi which worked anywhere in the park with good speed. Family bathroom required a key with $20 deposit, it has a kids bath. No real issues and it got a 9 because Rotorua smells like rotten eggs and you cannot hide from it. But all parks there would be the same.

If you want to stay around Rotorua e.g.
to participate in some of the various activities it is a reasonable place to stay. Formally nothing can be said against the site: all facilities were clean and tidy and everything needed is available. We paid (in the off-peak season) only 30 NZD for a powered site and 2 people, with showers and free WiFi included.
However, most of the sites are occupied by permanent residents who have partly built houses around their caravans three times as big as the caravan itself. If you want to see nature or a nice view it is the wrong site for you.

first it was 30$ for 2 people just 5 min later 34$.....no nice tent sites at all. Camped between the cars of the Bungalow renters. Too expensive for my taste.

Regarding the prices, we do specials at different times and if you happen to come in for a price and do not book in and come back later some times the special has finished as in this case.I personally think $34 is very reasonable compared to other holiday parks and maybe if this is to expensive for your taste as you state then you should be freedom camping with NO facilities. We do have nice tent sites on flat land and honestly you sound like you have a gripe because you missed out on the special after going to another camp for a price then coming back here. Enjoy the rest of your holiday, regards Reece.
