1.0/5
We (couple in 30ies) made a reservaton for 2 nights, to spend new year 2019 in rotorua.
On arrival they made the reservaton for 2 adults/2 kids. Had to go to the reception twice on that day to get the money refunded. We drove to our "site", more a parking slot, and the owner was asking us what we were doing there and that we should leave soon. After telling him, that we were campers (surprise!) he shut up. Anyway, the site was crowded as to expect on NYE, so we had one night a powered, second a unpowered site. The unpowered smelled badly like dogshit, couldn't imagine to sleep in a tent there! Also there is a bright light illuminating the Tent area at night, hard to get a sleep with that. The Receptionist told us, there would be fireworks on NYE, so we made our plans for that evening to be an the campsite. When tried to get to the Lake through the Campsite-path, the Gate was locked. The Receprionist said she were sorry she didn't know the plans had changed. What the??? The area the Park is located in is a bit fucked up, didn't feel comfortable to walk into the city late.
I am sorry there was a mix-up with the number of people in your group and we apologize for that. The smell from the thermal area can be strong at times, especially before the rain, which was the case over those dates. We are experimenting with the lighting in the tent area due to feedback we have had from the guests camping in tents. So far we have had positive feedback.
The information we were all given over the plans for new years eve was incorrect and the organizers have made a public apology.
once again we are sorry for the mix-up.

Beautiful sire with a stunning view over the Lake!
Old but perfectly clean toilets, no complains. Wifi signal is fine, depending on daytime I think. There is also a little supermarket for basic camping needs. You are free to pick your spot, you got to mark your place with a table and chairs when visiting wanaka or going for a hike. Lots of activitiea to do around here!
