The campsite is great! The staff are very nice and friendly. The environment is comfortable, and the bathrooms are very clean. The kitchen is well-equipped with hot water, an oven, a microwave, and a fridge — everything you need!

Lovely property, friendly and accommodating staff. We stayed at the Rob Waddell Lodge which is a great place for large families such as ours. Amazing views of the lake and very well equipped with everything. Will definitely return and recommend this place to others.

Lovely setting on the lake, with spacious cabins and great hot water. Friendly staff helped us get on WiFi.
A few features could improve the experience: a table and a few chairs, a rubbish bin, and instructions for the heater in the chalet; a microwave, bowls, and dish soap in the shared kitchen; and a clearly marked after-hours key drop.

Very good value. Wide open spaces outside for camping and regattas. Clean and tidy shared kitchen. Off-road cycling options right to the door. Friendly reception. Guests must clean their units before leaving (I agree) but it looks like it's not always done well.
