Very acceptable place again. Another one night stay in our camper van on a good site. Quite a large site, but spread out and good size pitches. All facilities very clean and in good order. Two minute walk to Blue Lake which was lovely and used for water skiing , saw some youngsters having lessons early evening.

We experienced significant problems with this resort for reasons of: - You pay $184 for a motel within a resort you would have expected an awesome view of , for a start we were honestly better to get place 100-120 along Fenton St. $184 is very very overvalued for a small hotel unti which to be honest was utter crap....

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and it appears by your comments that we have fallen well short of the mark that we ourselves set. There are 2 sides to every situation but it appears you have focused on all the negatives which we consider in some instances to not be correct. TOP 10 Holiday Parks does... More

This is an abolute gem of a place surrounded by native bush, with the most amazing & warm lake just a few steps away. A 5.5km bushwalk around the lake also, you would be hard pushed to find a better & more tranquil location to stay. We also heard kiwi's throughout the night on our last stay, truely awesome! and...

I stayed here for one night thinking I'd treat myself to an upmarket site as it was $45 for me and my campervan rather than the usual $22 that I pay elsewhere.It's in a beautiful location right on the Blue Lake. Disappointing on a number of levels - it's a shame the sites don't have a view of the lake... More

Thank you for taking the time to leave comments regarding your stay. The Holiday Park at Blue Lake operates under a concession from the Department of Conservation which restricts our ability to create more 'desirable' views of the lake. The park is surrounded by native bush and has easy access to the lake and surrounding forest but we are restricted... More

The location is very good, but service and cleanliness could be much better. Tv did not work. We paid for wifi card, but the router was too busy, so we could have internet for five minutes instead of the full day we paid for. The shower was too low, only reached shoulders for a 180cm person. We booked a self... More

Thank you for providing comment on your stay. Your comments on service and cleanliness is of concern as we take both of these areas very seriously within our business. Your review will be drawn to the attention of our staff. Although Blue Lake is in a good location, it is not on top of a geothermal field which enables other... More

We couldn't get in the main Rotorua campsite so drove out here instead, and we were glad we did as it is in a lovely location and very peaceful. We had a swim in the lake and went mountain biking in the local forest. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The only criticism is that the showers and toilet... More

We stayed at this Top 10 site for just two nights in early March, using a hired motor home on a powered site. The site is in a beautiful location, quietly situated beside the lake which is surrounded by pine forest. The lake is well used by locals at weekends and holidays but by the Monday morning everything was quiet... More

We had a great two days here with our family while I completed in a women's tri - a great location, everything very clean and modern. We took our caravan there and it was easy to get around the campground and park. We used the bathrooms and spa and the girls loved the playgrounds. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great location for a holiday park. It is located just 8 km from Rotoura so provisions are not a problem. The park is well laid out with many good sites for both Motorhomes and tent sites. The park also has powered and non-powered tent sites. There are some sites with a view of the lake. The park... More
