We are campers, so understand what's involved in living in a campground. The lake was beautiful. The tents nice. We did not use the heaters though it was cold, till morning. Bedding was great. The restroom was a bit of a walk but a port o let was available closeby for those midnight bathroom calls. The kitchen was well supplied. The only microwave was available in the central kitchen. All in all, it was a good experience.

Amazing views

We stayed in the tiny house on the lake. It was fantastic. The view was unbelievable. It had a full kitchen and large fridge. It was small but very comfortable. There was no bathroom in the cabin but the shared bathroom facilities were close by and there was a very clean porta potty closer by. We were there for 2 nights and wish we had more time to stay there.

Decent campsite with glamping style tents

I will only comment on the glamping tents as that’s where we stayed. Good standard, perhaps over-priced for the standard. Friendly staff and good service. Showers on site were of a good standard Glamping tent area had a gas grill and washing up point, a central fire pit and a games tent. All in positive

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.

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!
