Clean, comfy cabins. Good location - close to wanaka and on the edge of Lake Hawae which was lovely. Just a note, you need to rent any kitchen equipment here which is fine but something to keep in mind when planning.

Our stay at The Camp was magical. Unfortunately, we were only staying for 1 night in the Wanaka region, but would have definitely extended my stay if possible. We booked the Lakeside Cabin, would recommend. It had all the amenities travellers need and the location is just perfect with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Staff was genuine and helpful. The Camp Foodtruck is a must, great food with local beers, 10/10.

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.

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!

This was a fun adventure. I’d rate it higher because it was very good considering it was camping in a tent. But it was not a hotel nor was it intended to be a hotel. I’d definitely stay again. The bed and pillows were comfortable. We were right next to the lake.

Glamping!

We had a good, comfortable glamping experience at Lake Hawea. The tent was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the area is beautiful. Check in was easy and friendly. The heated mattresses were definitely a bonus!

This is a gem! Originally not excited about no en-suite, but the view and access to the lake were unbeatable! Walking to the shared amenities (shower and toilet) took nothing away from the beautiful view that was unobstructed by tents, campers, cars. The deck and chairs were most comfortable as was the loft bed. What a wonderful find

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.

Fun glamping experience!

Will definitely stay here again! Beautiful location on the lake and only a 5min walk to town. The bell tent was very comfy and clean, the kitchen had everything we needed including a refrigerator, and the bathrooms and showers were great. We loved swimming in the lake, having dinner by the fire pit, and grabbing a latte from the food truck in the morning.
