3.5/5
Pleasant spot handy to Matamata and Hobbiton.
Price is $12 for a powered site - still good value. However, couldn't find dump station, sites not clearly marked, and toilet floors could have done with a clean. Toilets themselves were clean, which is the main thing - although no paper towels left and bin overflowing, which added to mess on floor. Apart from all that would recommend for overnight stay.

Excellent campground - one of the best we have stayed at.
Our site was easily accessible, however some might have been a bit tight to get into with large camper vans. Didn't use the kitchen, however shower facilities were excellent - very clean. Did notice a number of dogs, as it is a pet friendly site - they didn't cause us any problems, but noticed some getting loose, and one owner having to clean up the neighbouring site, which is not good. No problems with the airport next door - hardly noticed it - a bit out of town, but everything easily accessible. Had fun watching rugby with fellow campers - especially as the All Blacks won!
