    Very well appointed in all aspects.

    We have a self-contained campervan so took a powered site and did our own cooking in the van, but we did enjoy the nice hot showers there. They have a 5-min button, which was just enough time for me to wash my hair, add conditioner, etc. a nice place to stay and we'll go again.

    Didn’t need to book, just called ahead to ask if there was space and there was.

    Good facilities and close by town. Wifi seems good. Plenty of cooking facilities available.

    Paid $68 for 2 people at a non powered site.

    Fine campground with all the facilities you need including dryers and ironing. No complaints but poor value for money.

    Paud 61$ for 2person/powered site.

    Was not able to book via rankers/homepage directly, only on request was possible.

    Facilities are nice and clean.

    Sites are big.

    But close to the road, so noise in the morning.

    No close access to the lake (walking distance for a short swim)

    A decent holiday park with clean facilities, but the playground is quite small and tired.

    I feel it is overpriced compared to what is offered (even within Taupo which feels more expensive than the other places we visited in NZ)

    Paid $52 per night for a 2 person powered site (no unpowered available).

    The facilities were dated but clean enough. There is wifi, but unusable slow.

    Swimming in the lake is a short drive away. Friendly manager.

    It's okay, but in my opinion not worth $52.

    Really nice staff and close to the town centre.

    It has all the facilities you need, and a decent amount of showers, however it is very dated.

    Perfectly serviceable for a night, however I didn’t choose to extend my stay beyond that.

    Very good facilities, exceptionally clean and well organised.

    Friendly staff. 5 of us on motorbikes and tents loved it. Only complaint, it is a tad expensive. Oh and the Taupo public information office don't seem to notice it exists. We found it by fluke.
