Foresty site, with privacy but the individual sites aren’t that big, our large camper took up most of ours which was fine when were were there as it was raining so didn’t want to sit out.

Facilities were good - hot showers, toilets, a large kitchen which had a very social feel, and a dump which was handy.

Our site - 21 - backed on to the stream below.

It's not the cheapest (64$/night for 2p, powered) but the location is very practical for hikes.

The kitchen area is very big (though they should do something about the stove tops which are really wornt out). Bathrooms could be cleaner. The spots have lots of shade and trees between one another.

This is camping ground situated in an amazing location which is well worth exploring.

So many great walks and hikes.

The facilities are aging now but it is holding together just enough to make this a positive experience.

We had a lodge room which is cheap and cheerful. The bunk beds were fine but the loud air con/heat pump means it sounds like a car running just outside the window.

The sites for campervans looked really nice and private in amoungst the forest.

Nice people running the campsite too.

We’ll equipped holiday park, $53 for two adults on a powered site for one night.

Lots of kitchen utensils available, laundry facilities okay although the drying room wasn’t very effective when we stayed. Probably because it rained the whole time. Lots of nice day walks nearby with the Tamar lakes route highly recommended!

Spent one night on a powert camp place 54 NZD for 2 persons and a car.

Clean and warm showers for free.

Toilets clean.

Big landry 4 NZD plus big dryer 6 NZD available..

The huge kitchen and public room are fine to meet other people. You will find everything for cooking there. And it is clean too.

Quiet places and nothing to complain about.

Good free WiFi onsite and on the hole place available.

Just hard to get at high season a place there.

Pre booking preferred and suggested. No extension of stay available.

Hard for us to leave this place and no alternative found in the surroundings

Thx for the 1 night to stay there.

Cher pour le confort.

Il est bien placé pour faire la Tongarino Alpine Crossing, les emplacements sont près du rivière dans les arbres, c'est agréable mais les sanitaires sont sales (douches pleines de cheveux, le sol aussi même juste après le passage du ménage ?!). Grande cuisine correcte.

This is a great place.

While it feels a bit outdated and in need of a reno, everything is in good working order. Great kitchen and cooking facilities, drying room, and functioning washer and dryers. Staff are very friendly. I had an issue with the dryer and was fully refunded no questions asked. Plus, it’s beautiful. Feels very secluded.

Ok campground.

Clean facilities but motorhome sites were very uneven. We stayed at Discovery Lodge campground first and liked that one MUCH better! Would advise you to go to that place instead of this one.

Great site if you want to spend a lot of dollars but couldn’t fault the facilities so you get what you pay for.

It was a one off and we were grateful to have showers.

Beautiful campsite with a lot of privacy.

We stayed there for two nights because of the shuttle bus to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The shuttle bus will pick you up in front of the reception. Really nice. The kitchen is good. We used the wasmachine but there was only one because the other one was broken. This was not enough for so many people. There is a drying room which was really nice.

We stayed at the self contained cabin, was a nightmare with a cockaroach in the bedding, half sized bed, poor Condensed carpets, old shabby chairs, a kettle with rust in the bottom.

What a waste of our holiday and money.

Awesome place!

Absolutely loved it! Beautiful and convenient location next to walks and visitor centre. Staff were super helpful providing information on local walks and facilities. Loved the little cafe on wheels and their tuck shop at reception where I could get energy bars for my walk! 👌🏽💖

OKish place.

Weather was horrendous when I stayed though which gave it a bit of a damp wet vibe everywhere. Close to hikes. Facilities could do with an upgrade. The stove tops are useless. Was easier to bring my own stove in and cook.

It was our favourite campervan park on the North Island.

The sites are set in lovely trees and beside a river. The hosts were really lovely and you can get burgers onsite. Everything was clean and in working order. Kitchen had utensils along with anything else you might need. It’s close to a lot of different walks. Really enjoyed it.

Wonderful place to stay, all campsites are separated for privacy, ideal for hiking, large kitchen, washer/dryer sometimes in use without pause, showers/toilets good.

Spent there 2 nights. Very friendly staff. Interesting I-site, worth visiting!

Perfect location for exploring the National Park and the Taranaki Falls Track.

The site is well maintained and had plentiful hot water in the showers. We had a powered site - the pitches were nicely segregated from each other but very small - not sure I’d want to stay here too many nights.
