Lance was very friendly and helpful when booking.
Lovely lake view with a small playground. There are sheep pastures adjacent to the parking area. No fancy facilities, but showers were hot and clean. Quiet neighbors and beautiful view of the sky! Very affordable and highly recommend.

Beautiful location, small lake you can wasting around.
The app is unreliable, with many sites listed incorrectly as dogs not allowed. Dogs are allowed at this site, as were over 15 other sites. It is therefore worth calling to confirm.

The lake is beautiful.
Toilets and showers aren't cleaned. Ladies showers has grime up the walls that has been there for months. A clump of hair sat in the shower for days and the shower curtains have grime set on them.

Driven past Lake Dudding many times, stayed a night on way home, what a pleasant stopover, made to feel most welcome, an idyllic setting.
Family oriented camp, great for the kids, dogs accepted, good clean facilities, well keeped areas for picnics etc. Lake has no flowing water in or out, so has a bit of a stagnant smell at times, but all in all very nice hidden gem. Recomended.

Great little gem I found just driving past.
The guy who ran the place was tops. Good little spot and very quiet. Cheap as chips

Beautiful camp on a lake that looks over to a forest, lots of birdlife, very quiet & peaceful.
Facilities are clean. No dump station. Cheap rates (need cash or online banking). Loved it here.

The description is misleading.
An unpowered site is $20 and a powered is $25. There is a gate and such so it is essentially a holiday park. Classic NZ campground so if you're into that I guess it isn't too bad.

Lovely lake view with a small playground. There are sheep pastures adjacent to the parking area. No fancy facilities, but showers were hot and clean. Quiet neighbors and beautiful view of the sky! Very affordable and highly recommend.
