Good park, close to town centre but was a little too far to walk with the weather we had. Our powered site had a nice view of wanakas mountains. We stayed here as it was closest park to centre, but the point is mute when you end up driving to town anyway.
The main negative is the bathrooms. Firstly they use timer lights and fans, which is great to save power but you don't realise until your sitting in the dark. Naturally you enter with lights and fans on and think nothing, but you need to hit the reset switch every time to ensure they stay on, which is not clear. The ceiling is all wet and peeling paint, probably because the ventilation keeps turning off. The mens has no urinals which with men unfortunately means there's piss all over the cubical floors because some people struggle to hit the target, especially when the lights go out. They shut the mens while they clean, and women's becomes unisex, and visa versa, maybe this is why there's no urinals but it seems to be the only park where this is done.. just clean them normally multiple times and day and put some urinals in so I dont have to sit in piss please.
Hot water couldn't keep up with hot, but stayed warm.
Camp facilities otherwise are great. Washing machines and dryers are expensive though $6 each per load, and unless you run the dryer on high and ruin your clothes, you spend $18 for a wash and dry.
Overall would maybe stay here again but would see what else is around.
