Very welcoming site, with helpful, friendly management. Great location among the trees, and a good shuttle for the Alpine Crossing. Free wifi, showers, hair dryers. Large kitchen and good laundry facilities. Several walks directly from site.

Excellent place to stay. Peaceful and private. The staff are not only friendly and welcoming but went above and beyond to help us with getting another key cut in Taupo after we snapped our one in our car door. Thank you so much team!

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! 👌🏽💖

We camped for a few nights while tramping in the area. Facilities were nice and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back to this one.

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!

I stayed before and after hiking the Tongariro Northern Circuit. I left my bags for free during the 4 day hike, and the shop had enough to add things I didn’t bring with me. I got a backpacker bed in the lodge for $28 a night, and had the whole room to myself one of the days. On weekends the place fills up so make sure to book ahead. There is a kitchen with all equipment needed, shuttles are easy to access, and a food truck with burgers, icecream, and coffee sets up outside.

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.

Really nice place!! Perfect for staying after climbing Tongariro. Great clean hot shower with plenty of space, no limit of hot water. Fully equiped kitchen with nice area to eat and chat. Free wifi and very big areas for vans. Also a convenient store where to buy staff. Laundry machine there perfect for cleaning after excursions! Its a bit of money but worthy after long day at Tongariro...better do reservation, as it was fully booked the night we stayed!
