This place was epic and full of unique surprises!
What a place to stay. I don’t want to give too much away but deffo the funnest camp site we have stayed at.
We didn’t go for a swim as it was very cold / windy so can’t comment on that.
Loved all the birds roaming - except the nosey cockerel haha!
Absolutely loved every second here. Already recommended to friends.
Our only complaints would be about nothing related to the ground itself.
There was what sounded like fun shots in the distant neighbouring property which was terrifying one of our dogs which was unfortunate.
The owners also but in the description to keep dogs on leads and we had a few unleashed dogs run into our camp where we had 2 leashed friendly dogs - but they wasn’t too pleased with visitors coming in our space.

We had the best time camping at Lake Presten Like Paddock. The campsite has some really cool stuff that you can go on explore like old cars, boats and airplanes. The gentleman that goes around on his biggie with his dogs is lovely too making sure that we were okay. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Shikuru Site 1 and had an amazing experience. Fiona was incredibly kind and thoughtful — knowing we were travelling with a newborn, she left out a picnic rug and cushion for us, which we used throughout our stay. Such a simple gesture, but it made everything so much easier and more comfortable.
The property itself was fantastic — large, peaceful and clearly well cared for, with many areas mowed by a ride-on at some stage. It’s those small touches that really show how much attention goes into the place.
The whole family were extremely kind, generous and respectful, which made the experience even more enjoyable. And the homemade apple crumble and other goodies they we purchased as extras were absolutely delicious.
Our dogs were allowed off-lead as long as they behaved, which we appreciated. One of ours got a bit too excited at times, but with a bit of common courtesy it was no issue at all.
Overall, Shikuru Site 1 was a beautiful, well-kept spot with genuinely thoughtful hosting. We’d happily stay again.

Here’s a refined, polished version of your updated review, keeping your voice and enthusiasm:
⸻
A beautiful spot! The owners were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The property is close to the dam. The weather was a bit too chilly for swimming, but that didn’t stop our furry friend from jumping in and having an absolute ball! There’s also a paddleboard and a rope swing available for use.
Our furry friend loved having plenty of open space to explore. The National Forest is nearby, so it’s best to keep dogs on a lead in that area due to baiting — but there are no baits on Shukuru Farm itself.
Being a farm, there were a few flies, but nothing a fly net couldn’t fix. The wind was strong during our stay, so most of them were blown away anyway. The fire pits were a lovely bonus, and the starry skies at night were absolutely stunning.
Such a relaxing, peaceful stay — I would definitely recommend staying here!

We enjoyed our stay at Shukuru’s farm! There was only one other site in view which was only occupied on the second night of our stay so it was quite peaceful having the place to ourselves for the first night! A few trees between the two sites would be great to make the sites completely private as this is something I look for when choosing a hipcamp. Communication from the host was great! The fire pit was an awesome addition & I can see the dam would be lots of fun once it gets a bit warmer!!
