Place is closing in November (22) for renovations, they aren't taking more guests at the moment.
Website no longer has availability (but that's no help if you have no internet to check!)
That being said, had a nice stay in peaceful surroundings. Hopefully once it's renovated they reopen to campers as it's a lovely setting.

Shocking place now, stayed recently for 3 nights, no manager, no eftpos, wifi is rubbish, toilets are filthy and wet, lucky if you get hot water, the laundry washing machines are filthy.
Place seems full of Chinese workmen. I believe this place is in the early stages of closing down.
Not recommended to stay here

This campsite is so lovely!
We travelled around New Zealand for four weeks and this was without a doubt our favourite campsite. We got a site along the riverside and borrowed kayaks for free to paddle down the river. The facilities are good and clean. We payed 22 NZD each for a powered site. It’s definitely worth a visit!

Lovely campsite with good, clean facilities.
We received a warm welcome and free WiFi tokens on arrival. We stayed in a powered site. Lots of space and felt private with the surrounding hedges. Just outside of the main drag, so was a quiet spot to camp for the evening. You can take a free kayak down the river. Also has a swimming pool and a small games room (pool table and table tennis).

Lovely little campsite.
We couldn’t find free camping and so stayed here and were very glad we did. Friendly staff, good pitches (be got one right next to the stream) and kitchen facilities. The shower block is a little dated but does the job. The best thing was the free kayak hire, you can paddle along a beautiful stream and then out onto the lake, not to be missed!!

Nice campsite really close to Rotorua.We spent a night before visit Hobbiton(less than 1 hour).
It is a small spot with all facilities, we had a site close to the stream which pass surrond the campsite; there are kayaks that you can enjoy for free.The worst point is that Internet access is too weak, just you have 500MB to use per person.

Good extra activities (canoeing on the stream; trout fishing); reasonably well maintained but the laundry driers costed way more than they should because it kept cutting out 10mins into the cycle and the
customer service was chequered

We parked our camper here overnight and it was a lovely place.
Friendly staff. We had a spot right beside the stream which was great (though the mosquitos were out at night). The amenities were nice and clean (bathroom and shower). Didn't use the kitchen or common room. We were given some complimentary WiFi passes which was great to back up our holiday photos. In the morning we were visited by a group of friendly ducks looking for a snack, very cute

Really friendly owner.
we arrived quite late without a booking and he came down from what I can only assume was his house and booked us when we called the number provided. Large allocated spaces, in a picturesque background, toilets and showers were clean,well kept and of good quality. There was even a hair dryer available to use in the toilets. Laundry was fine there was two washers and two dryers. There was also free WiFi which worked pretty well.
