2.0/5
Non self contained can stay one night, clean facilities and nice enough area but the lake is very busy with families and jet skis.
Seems as though people enjoy revving their engines/doing burnouts along the road at night to bother the campers but feels safe enough with everyone else around.

Great little spot, Allen the custodian is very kind and friendly, $6.50pn and hot, unlimited showers for another $6.50.
Right next to the redoubt, so it was nice to see a bit of Aotearoa history. I would also highly recommend the hikes around Mount Pirongia which is only a 15min drive away.

Lovely, secluded campsite with beautiful views and decent parking.
Minimal cell signal and remember to bring toilet paper and bug repellent.
