Blue Lake TOP 10 Holiday Park

If you love camping grounds with full facilities this may be for you but at $91 for 2 x adults and 2 x children it’s not for us.  We chose it because it is directly across from the beautiful Blue Lake (Lake Tikitapu) in Rotorua so thought it would be an idyllic spot.  It’s certainly handy for accessing the lake and the walking/mountain biking trails, it has not 1 but 2 children’s play areas both with spring-free trampolines plus a jumping pillow, the kitchen area is spacious and spotless and the bathrooms are also spotlessly clean.  There is a cafe on site and the reception people are friendly and informative.  However, the fact that apart from price, it was otherwise faultless, helped us to realise that commercial camping was not for us… freedom camping here we come!!
