Fantastic place to camp.
Signs a bit confusing, but basically you can camp anywhere round the lake in a self-contained vehicle and in one of four marked spaces if not self-contained (if self-contained, be considerate of our non-self-contained friends and don't park in one of their spaces). Fantastic fish and chip shop (Lobster Pot) about 1k away. Beautiful lake and clean toilet and washing up facilities too. A few local boy racers making a bit of noise at times, but not an issue. Recommend walking some of the coastal path via the Te Rewa Rewa bridge at the end of the lake. All in all, great place!!

Great place to camp.
Loads of spaces, clean toilet, dump station and fresh water, and right by the sea - about 3k walk into town - what more could you want?!
