This is a big holiday park with lots of space! Nice hot showers and laundry facilities. My only complaint would be that it’s right off a busy road and we could hear traffic all night.

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.

Facilities are rather basic, especially for the price! 22$ pppn! Says online price ranges from 11-20!! The price of 22$ is also supposed to include free WiFi, free use of laundry etc.. yet having to pay for each of these on top of the price! wouldn’t mind too much but only in a car that needs no electrical or water lines to it.
