Blue Lake TOP 10 Holiday Park
3.0/5
Great campsite on a lake by forests, friendly staff.
Unfortunately although they advertise kayak hire and mountain bike hire, it’s not true. So you can’t explore the lake by kayak or enjoy the numerous mountain bike trails from the site - and that’s mainly why we went. And it’s not on lake Rotorura, it’s a smaller lake to the south.

Ohope Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park
3.5/5
Lovely site, friendly staff and right on the beach, but the water sports they advertise weren’t available.
No life guard in the beach lookout either - mid Feb. Coffee snack bar didn’t open. Shop not very well stocked. Good restaurant nearby - Fisherman’s Wharf.
