Lakes Edge Holiday Park

Amazing camp site location. If you are in a campervan I highly recommend booking a lake front/lake view site to get the best view of the lake. We had a great 4 night stay here and would 100% come again. Check in was super easy and fast. The facilities are cleaned regularly and really good. Bathrooms, laundry, shared kitchen and BBQs were all great. I would say for ~$80 NZD per night we didn't expect to have a time limited shower. The only annoying thing was that on arrival each camp site had a wooden bench at the rear, to sit and enjoy the view. We went out on our second last day and upon returning someone had taken our bench from our site. It would be great if the staff/groundskeeper could keep an eye on where the benches are to ensure they aren't being moved around to other sites.

The view is incredible. Many flat areas for campervans, lodges seemed nice aswell. The cooking areas are a bit small for the amount of people when fully booked. The showers were clean and nice. Overall a really good place for campervan/camping. Weather might affect your experience heavily.

Here’s a cleaner, more polished version that keeps your voice and experience intact, suitable for a review or social post: This was our very first campervan stop, and overall it set a really solid standard for the rest of our trip. Check-in was seamless, and we booked a powered site that was nicely paved, clean, and well laid out. The common areas were straightforward, tidy, and well maintained, which we really appreciated. Showers were clean and included (no extra charges), and WiFi was available too, which was a bonus. In terms of overall class and facilities, I’d rank this park number 2 on our campervan journey. Driftaway in Frankton, Queenstown still holds the top spot for us, but Tekapo Holiday Park comes very close. Location-wise, this place is excellent. It faces the lake and has very easy access, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a solid 4.5-star experience for me and my partner. That said, here’s an important lesson learned the hard way. When we tried to return, the park was fully booked, so we parked closer to the beach where there was a “No Camping” sign. Early the next morning, council officers knocked on our door and we were issued a NZD400 fine. Word of advice to fellow campervan travelers: always use Campmate to find proper freedom camping spots or book paid sites. It’s absolutely not worth risking a fine. Lesson learned. If you want, I can also shorten this into a Google review version, an Instagram caption, or make it sound more casual or more professional.

We had caravan site 302 for the last 3 nights. Great location. Showers and toilets better than average. No seating area in this part of site and it's a reasonable walk to those in another patr of site. Dump station 600+ m away. But biggest problem was power. When we put single ring on it immediately blew the fuses. Maintenance person said it must be our caravan. EXCEPT we have just had our electrical warrant done. No problem at any site before or after. Could it be that our controller showed only 1a available, when other sites are 2.5+?

This was one of the best holiday parks we stayed in during our motorhome tour of the North and South Islands of NZ. Almost all of the sites had views of the magnificent lake. The cabins looked nice too. One of the bathrooms had been refurbished and it was spectacular. The second bathroom area was more basic, normal facilities but both were exceptionally clean. The kitchen was very good and in close proximity to the BBQs on the lake. In front of the BBQ area were plenty of wooden tables, chairs and lounges to sit and eat with a view of the lake. Good laundry facilities that take cards rather than coins. Close to the town. Friendly staff. Just a great place to stay.

Exceptional. We booked two days before during the busy new years period (05/07 for two nights) and got a tent site right at the end, adjacent to the lake ! Great toilets and kitchen, with washing detergent always available how good?! It's the little things when camping and travelling; and this was the 3rd holiday park we had tried on our trip. Cheap too - we paid 64 NZD per night (we were two people). Rabbits everywhere and more active at night ; quite cute and my fiancée loved them.

The Huts are a special place to stay and the pricing reflects that. I was concerned about being in a holiday park but no need. The huts themselves are very soundproof and I quite enjoyed watching the goings on at the campervan site. ||The rooms were compact as expected but very functional and still felt new. The view is unparalleled. Bathroom was an excellent size and great fluffy towels. Toiletries were good quality but did feel like they had been watered down somewhat. ||Also, for the price paid I would expect the room to be serviced better daily. We got new towels but left in the bedroom and not put in the bathroom. They took the dishcloth and tea towel and didn’t replace ( we had to phone to get this so we could clean dishes). Would be nice if the bed was remade. Also odd that crockery and cutlery is limited to three items. Constant washing up required. ||We didn’t use the bathtub on the deck but did love sitting out there for the view. Note that you do get quite a bit of noise from the water park. Also early in the morning the staff at the water park play loud music when setting up. ||This is an excellent and relaxing place to stay.

The views were spectacular with the lake in front of us and sounding foot hills. The weather was spectacular. ||Upon entry to the camp or reception area we came across the issue of construction on one of the many roads within the camp so had to wait for a late entry. The service was good but not the usual friendly helpfulness we received the year before. When we asked if we could have a map of the park for some reason that wasn't offered to us until we were actually allowed into the park.||Although the Kitchen had a bit of a leak in one of the sinks, what struck us, was the raw fishy smells that were unpleasant. While people cleaned their fish in the kitchen, yet thought perhaps there could be a designated place OUTSIDE the kitchen to clean fish before hand.
