3.5/5
Spent a lovely couple of nights here in May, fabulous location, with Taupo only around 20 minutes away.
We had a lakeside-facing plot which was fantastic, with fabulous tranquil views across the lake. The amenities were fine without being spectacular, the showers in particular were not as good as other sites we had stayed at, but still plenty of hot water at 50c for 6 minutes. The main problem with the site is its proximity to the main road, with cars and lorries thundering past through the night. Was not a huge issue, but does unfortunately mean the peacefulness of the lakeside location is compromised. Staff were lovely and welcoming at check-in, and overall I would recommend coming here to stay for a night or two.
Thanks Tom for taking the time to review our Park. Our lakeside sites get some road noise but the views are amazing! We do offer Hillside sites as well which is set back from the road and reduced noise levels. We hope to see you back again :)

4.5/5
Stayed here for one night on our way to the ferry and it was extremely pleasant.
Plenty of space although it was out of season so expect that had an impact. Easy to find and close to Wakefield although we didn't walk there from the site. Small stream runs alongside it which was very nice, and the whole place was clean and well-kept.
