South Island ▷ Wanaka Region ▷ Wanaka Township ▷
We arrived at the site over a long weekend and weren't prepared for the size of the camping ground..
there are over 400 powered sites and probably as many unpowered sites. Despite this, the bathrooms were clean and the common facilities such as the kitchen were also clean and available for use. I hadn't read previous reviews that mentioned paying for hot water in the shower, so that was a bit of a surprise but I managed the QR code payment.
As the campsite was full and it attracts water lovers, there was noise from the water from motorboats and jet skis, but surprisingly not from our fellow campers. We slept well without disturbance. Swimming is a bit challenging as the entire waterfront is a skilane and one has to watch for boats coming and going. There should be a safe area to swim without worrying about watercrafts.

If you can avoid, then do so...
But freedom camping isn't allowed in the area, so choices are minimal.
Location and the parking bays are good, as well as the kitchen facilities.
The bathrooms are however dirty and in need of a good remodel. The price per adult is therefore not in line with the facilities offered.
