Educational as well as a fun feature, the dinosaurs each have a sign that gives details of their eating habits amongst other information. Just a hop, skip and a jump to the Hannah Bay lake front reserve of Lake Rotorua, the local shops, and the airport, family entertainment is what this place is all about. Facilities include an excellent toilet and shower area, as well as a sparkling kitchen area. Mature trees are scattered throughout this spacious camp, 75 powered sites have hedged borders and a large, open grass area with 25 tent sites.

Midway between Rotorua and Taupo, on the busy SH 5, is this once proud camping ground. Unfortunately, it was looking a bit run down when we visited, it is to be hoped that the new owners do a bit of garden maintenance to get it back up to scratch. But if you don't want manicured lawns, this is an excellent base for the great trout fishing nearby. There are 21 power sites divided by boxed hedges, and a variety of tent sites - some down by the stream that
runs beside the camp. Bush tracks with boardwalks meander through the lower part of the camp giving an nice setting to the natural thermal hot pools provided free for people staying. There is a small kitchen with fridge and ovens,
and a TV room is available. The licensed restaurant is not open currently, but hoping to be back up and running soon. Laundry machines are available as is, a free gas BBQ.
