Excellent campsite, fab location on the lake with lots of restaurants and supermarket.
Lovely pitch. Would definitely recommend.
-
An excellent location with the beautiful blue lake as the backdrop!
Facilities are clean and kitchens easy to work in. Easy to drive to multiple sight seeing musts such as Mount Cook. Also close to star gazing opportunites at night. Would loved to have stayed longer and will definitely return.

Outstanding campground and facilities.
We enjoyed our multiple day stay. Perfect location for access to the town or track along the lake. Beautiful views.

Nice site.
Was disappointed we didn’t get a view of the lake (we were up the back of the park), but not far to walk down to the lake. Facilities were well managed too
-
Up there with one of the best sites I’ve stayed in 3 months travelling round NZ.
Firstly $30pp per night for a powered site in a tourist location like this is great, soo nice to have a solo rate, thanks.
You can walk anywhere and everywhere, to the lake, into the village, to the church.
Bathrooms are spotless and showers were hot and spacious.
Lots of ducks and birds around the site too.

Positive: Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, clean toilets, a nice BBQ area, and great hikes nearby.
Negative: It’s a large campground, so it can feel crowded. The nights we stayed, there were people making noise until past midnight. Also, the toilet ventilation fans are very loud and run all night—you can hear them almost everywhere in the campground. We also noticed constant noise from the nearby swimming pool (a strange sound throughout the night).
Suggestion: If possible, the owner could switch off (or reduce) the toilet fans after around 10 pm to make the campground much quieter for tent campers.
Overall: I wouldn’t recommend this campground if you’re in a tent and looking for a quiet night.

You pay top dollar for the view not the site.
I was there peak season. Small pitches, kitchen was rammed with people, showers were tepid. I was a
fair way from the nearest water too. You could park by the lake and enjoy the view for a few hours instead.

Well considering you don't refund people who cancel a booking, I wouldn't recommend this Park to anyone.
I was told by staff that I'll have to cancel via the site I booked with. Very difficult site to try and navigate any cancelling process, so I messaged the site to explain, and politely asked them to cancel for me. No reply whatsoever! Yet another site that makes it impossible to cancel, so ended up giving up!

Great place to stay..
Clean.. Modern.. few more trees in some areas for shade world be great
-
I think the campsites are too close to each other, leaving hardly any room to breathe.
The kitchen was tidy, but it lacked extra dishes, plates, and utensils. Also, the nightly rate was more expensive than other TOP 10 holiday parks. I wouldn't recommend this park; I’d suggest staying at the free sites nearby instead, especially if your campervan is self-contained (SCC).

Quiet stay with good views and easy access to the lake.
Quite packed in, but enjoyed having ducks and rabbits for company. Facilities are clean, fresh and good quality.

Good place to stay if you want to do a night tour at Tekapo springs (highly recommend!
:)) as you can just walk there.
Great views but it’s very pricey for what you get - they surely know that they are the only campsite at the lake.
Not enough facilities for the amount of guests, we had to stand in line to use the toilet in the morning or to wash our dishes after dinner and everything gets dirty real quickly as so many people use it.
The showers have a timer and a two minute break before you can get hot water again which is really annoying if you want to wash your long hair.
The sites are really close together and from a lot of them it’s a really long walk to the toilets (longest we ever had at a campsite).
All in all an average and overpriced campsite, you pay for the location.
