Keeley reserve,

1006 Tirau Road, Karapiro 3494

"Nice place, toilets need cleaning. But over all a good spot for freedom camping"

"Great place to spend time on the water and not far from home. Nice grassed banks to set up for the day on. Toilet facilities, excellent ramp. One downfall is that not everybody knows the local boating rules in regard to direction and speeds. Can get a bit dangerous on busy days. Other than that it’s our summer happy place"

"We love it here. Great place for families. Safe beach areas for paddling and swimming and a good boat launch ramp. There are toilets but theyre not always open."

"100% MUST VISIT!!! Truly Magical, Stunning, Amazing, and times Out of this world!! Pick the right time of day, and this reserve truly is magical! If your stopping here for any reason, you have to get out of the car and walk around.. there is soo much more to Keeley's Reserve than the boat ramp, ski ramp, and camping areas! The blue skies and sunshine of summer combine with Lake Karapiro to not only deliver stunning photo opportunities, but a place that can feel tranquil, peaceful, calming, and...yes.. truly MAGICAL! Plan your visit for a summers morning (believe me when I say sunrise is THE time) for the true, magical, and mystifying experience. The mist on the lake, with rowing teams practicing, and hearing their oars in the water and voices from the distance. But at that time of day the entire place seems to be acoustically modified .. hearing voices from afar as if they are right on shore with you. I've re-written this review to this version, as over time my impression of Keely's Reserve keeps getting better... and better! 100% - MUST SEE!! check out the photos.. and when travelling the Waikato.. plan to go to Keely's Reserve!"

"We stopped by to have some rest in the morning after a long drive. The view was amazing. Toilets were okay."
