The spot itself is good. Nice view over the lake and a working toilet (without paper, bring your own). Unfortunately we were harassed by the kids with the water filled balloons as well. Thx for the warning. Still, wasn’t very nice. We decided to stay, they came twice as well with an hour pause in between. Not a very relaxing stay for us though the rest of the night was quiet.

The toilet is fixed, and the spot is nice. The water had a strange taste (the same as at the dump station) and it was very windy. However, around nine in the evening, a group of about six kids got bored and started attacking with water balloons and banging on the car. After their second round of antics, I decided to move to the Opunake Recreation Ground car park in the town center, where it was quiet. So, be prepared to defend yourself! :-D

SC only so didn't stay here

The toilet is still under construction, so right now it's not a very comfortable place to spend the night.

The toilet was demolished on 23rd Feb 2026 and is currently being rebuilt.

A lovely, quiet spot right by the lake and not far from the beach. The toilet had no light, but it was clean and in good condition. The internet was also good. According to the sign, there are six pitches, not just three.

Chill place to stop next to a lake with duckies and so on. Houses about so you feel safe as. Walk down to the beach in 10 min. Rhe pub 5 min walk a great place to hang with locals. Super friendly. Get some!

Great place for NSC enjoyed my stay

Very good spot for freedom camping, clean toilets and drinking water.

Nice place for NSC right next to the lake. Flush toilet had toilet roll but no soap or light and there was a water fountain too. Not far to walk to town or to the beach
