I just stayed one night.The Denver tent was really lovely, with a really nice view, we stayed in denver tent 1. The Toilet and shower facilities were average for a camp. Everything was as expected and a nice night. Although the food truck was closed as they closed it a couple days before our stay which is unfortunate due to off season, but it all worked out and was alright. I would reccomend if your looking for some glamping in a beautiful area!

The glamping option was a novel idea. The tent was tidy, comfy and well equipped as was the shared kitchen mess.

The location was beautiful but the comfort of the stay could be improved with some outdoor lights so you can see what your'e eating for dinner and also a light to be able to see the toilet at night.

Lake Hawea is stunning. Sitting on the deck of our large canvas tent, glass of wine in hand looking up at the night sky was fabulous. The tent was very comfortable and well set up. The only negative being the walk to the loo in the middle of the night.

Nice place by the lake

We stayed in cabin #1 (yellow) which was very comfortable and clean. We had a small view of the lake from our cabin which was cool. The bed was the most comfortable ever, so much that it was tough to get up in the morning 😉 The women's toilets and showers are quite far from cabin #1. It was nice to be able to swim in the lake from the small beach. The room is equipped with a small fridge, a kettle, a table and stools in front of a large window. Unfortunately, the kitchen is not equipped properly. There is almost no pots and pans. The kitchen is not wide enough because of the table in the middle, so when it is busy, it is really difficult to cook. When you rent a cabin, you have to rent a box with the plates and cutlery for $5/day.

Excellent Tent...crappy showers and Toilets

The glamping tent we stayed in was amazing. Unfortunately the bathroom facilities could really use an upgrade. Toilets were downright ugly and the showers had almost no water pressure. Need to tear the buildings down and start from scratch.
