Beautiful spot, very quiet at this time of year. Toilets weren’t the best but still useable. Highly recommend doing the whole 2.5hr walk around the lake from the campsite.
Toilets a little dirty but not stinky in the winter. Beautiful spot and close to rotorua. We used our campsite pass so it was perfectly worth it for us, idk if i’d want to pay for it though
Beautiful spot, so the only reason I won’t give a negative review. Pay $18pp for a covered shelter and some of the worst toilets I have ever smelt!! Apparently the fee you pay goes towards volunteers “cleaning and maintaining” the area, but the toilets look and smell like they haven’t been touched in months!! 2-3 bars of 4G with 2degrees.
Lovely place for the night. The facilities (toilet) is very dirty and has a very unpleasant smell. I think you pay too much money for what you get. 18 dollars per person.
Very nice campsite near the lake. We were able to get a spot at 4-5 PM in January. Friendly ranger who comes to collect the fees in the evening (cash or card). You can swim in the lake and there are nice ducks. Toilets were not too bad with hand sanitizer available.
A really nice place, and so handy for access to Rotouroa BUT I arrived at 7pm and struggled to find a space due to day visitors parked in the camping area, badly parked campervans meant that large bays didn’t have enough space for arriving vans, the camp manager is on site so really should be able resolve this issue?
Great camping next to the lake, very peacefull environment. No running water. The toilets are closed vault toilets but were clean and not smelly when we visited. The camp manager came on the evening at ~7pm to do the "checkin", collecting payment and taxes. We used our doc campsite pass here, its not reservation on a first come first serve basis, and it was almost full on a weekday, make sure you arrive before 18:00
A nice little camp spot by the lake. The drop toilets were clean and there’s a drain for waste water. The camp manager was lovely and friendly. We arrived late on a Saturday night and still managed to get a space
Very nice spot! Loved the view and there were more than enough spots. Toilets were useable and didn’t smell (I have seen better doc toilets but also way worse)
Nice view of the lake. Toilets are disgusting.
