★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best camping site but far away from Rotorua city
Restroom service is available nice lake view camping site
You can cook your own food that can save hell of a lot money
But we have to bring our own portable gas stove
And one demerit we cant lit up a camp fire .

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have stayed here a few times over the years local community used to charge $10 per night pp which isn’t freedom camping but a nice spot so happy to pay $. I went there yesterday they have a kiwi camping toilet set up which is great but now want $20 pp per night as well as paying for amenities also this is apparently a council run location but they have a random bank account they want you to pay into …..just sensed something not …upfront about that. I stayed elsewhere for free .

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lake Ōkareka is popular with water skiers, swimmers, boaties and walkers.
Lake Ōkareka is one of the smaller Rotorua lakes and is situated among picturesque hills, native forest and wetland reserves.
The walkway starts from a Council lakeside reserve on Acacia Road, and continues for approximately 2.5km around the shore to the outlet. The first part of the walkway takes you through native trees and shrubs before entering into a wetlands area that is home to a range of aquatic birds such as swan, geese, pukeko, coot and scaup. A timber boardwalk has been constructed alongside a hide for bird-watching.
The walkway and composting toilets are pushchair and wheelchair accessible as far as Silver Beach, around 2km from the start. From here, the walkway continues to a higher level before descending to the lake outlet.
The return walk takes about an hour and a half, and showcases native vegetation, farmland, beach, lake and wetland scenery, expansive views and wildlife.
Bicycles and dogs are not permitted on the walkway.
Getting there:
Lake Ōkareka is located 9km southeast of Rotorua. Follow Tarawera Road to Lake Tikitapu (Blue Lake) and take a left onto Ōkareka Loop Road. Once you reach the lake, turn right onto Acacia Road. The walkway starts from a lakeside reserve on Acacia Road and continues for approximately 2.5km around the shore to the outlet.
