Hipapatua / Reid's Farm Recreation Reserve Free Campsite
3.0/5
Originally parked up at Reid’s farm with the nice painted public toilets and view of the lake.
All campers were asked to move to Hipapatua reserve 100m down the road. This was due to restrictions from covid that hadn’t been lifted even in level 1. This new area had a disgusting long drop toilet with poo everywhere. The parking space was just an uneven patch of grass. Honestly very disappointing but if the original place we parked in was open it would be beautiful.

Lovely family owned camper van site, powered ones don’t get a spot with a view.
Very clean and safe facilities, radio in the toilets to jam to in the shower. Cute local cats looking for cuddles too. $38 for 2 people in a powered site, great price!

Got in at 6.15pm as they were locking the gates but they let us in!
Designated overnight spots were full but we couldn’t get out again so stayed the night in a normal car park and didn’t get into trouble. Nice clean toilets open all night. Gorgeous sunrise over the lake in the morning, incredible view.

Gorgeous view and beautiful beach, not much space to park up.
Lost points for the toilet which had a bird in it and no sink.
