Tapu Creek Campervan Park
3.5/5
The location is fabulous, away from the highway, nice little river, swimming hole and spacious sites for your campervan.
However cleanliness was ok but not fantastic, there is no fresh water supply, you have to boil your water before drinking. The kitchen is an outdoor, open facility, with just cold water and two single cooking units on a gas bottle.
Washing machine was crooked and there was no dryer, which, with cold nights and in shoulder season means, leaving the place with wet laundry.
The most unhygienic thing however where the dogs wandering around, marking their territory! With a 20 month old son, exploring the campsite, still unstable on his feet, this means washing dog pee from his hands.
All in all a slight disappointment, relying on all the previous reviews.

McLaren Falls Camping Area
4.5/5
Fantastic place!
Were here in shoulder season and it was beautiful and quiet. Nice short walks, very suitable for stroller and small children. Lots of birds and super relaxed surroundings. Because of the set-up and different camp ground areas, plenty of space for all who want to stay here. The facilities available in the park were clean and neat. Added bonus, an animal farm next to the park!

Mill Creek Bird & Campervan Park
3.0/5
Went here because of the raving reviews.
Indeed a quiet camp site, lot's of animals for the children to feed and interact with but cleanliness was below expectation. There was animal poop all over the place, including the camp site grounds. The BBQ area and picnic benches were not clean either. There was ' stuff' standing and lying around everywhere giving it an overall scruffy feel.
We were planned on staying here a couple of nights but left after one.
