“From what I gather, this campground distinguishes itself with exceptionally clean and well-maintained facilities, including a notable hub with modern kitchens and outdoor dining. The setting in Frankton offers a quieter alternative to Queenstown, with easy access to amenities and transportation. While lake views from some sites may be partially obscured, the overall quality and thoughtful design, particularly the unique shower facilities, make it a standout destination.”
