From manicured tranquil bush-clad grounds, this park’s outlook over the serene Blue Lake is magnificent. A 10 minutes drive from Rotorua, the park rises gently up a terraced valley behind the offce/store entrance and just across the road from a gorgeous white sandy beach. The 160 or so sites are hedged or sheltered by native trees, and the park is criss-crossed with paths and paved roadways for easy access. The whole 14 acre complex has a well cared for appearance and is serviced by three kitchens, one being quite new, roomy free showers, and modern toilet blocks and laundries. A disabled access suite is provided and there’s a spa pool too. Enjoy your meals in the communal dining room or cook in the covered BBQ garden. The two playgrounds have trampolines, plus towards the rear of the camp is a recreation room with TV and internet, with another separate TV lounge. A dump point, internet access  and payphone are available, and if you tire of the scenery, hire canoes, kayaks or arrange a local sight-seeing tour.  Seasonal rates apply.
