5.0/5
20May24.
2 adults on powered site for motorhome. $40. Very nice lady in reception.
Key fob entry and exit.
A big park. All grass, as far as I could see, pitches but they held up well considering the rainfall.
Free WiFi. 10gb for 5 devices over 7 days.
Good toilets and showers. Showers on 5 min timers with 100 seconds delay before more hot water. No delay on cold!
Good kitchen. Didn’t try the laundry or other facilities.
Play equipment for youngsters.
Very close to beach, the ocean was evident all night where we were.
Clearly a very good family holiday park.

We paid 46$ for 2 persons in a powered site.
Really good facilities with toilet, hot shower, Wi-Fi, BBQ and a kitchen with dishwashing liquid.
Some of the sites was not all level, so our camper was placed a bit higher in the back.

Very nice camp site right next to the beach.
The facilities were clean, there is a kitchen and tables for campers, hot water for 6 minutes in the showers. Staff was very helpful and welcoming!

Stayed here our very first night in NZ.
The person at the reception was very friendly and welcoming and we lucked out with the position of the site since we had privacy. Absolutely loved the beach and the facilities will very clean.

Nice location, camp ground, beach.
Definitely go for dinner at the Cove restaurant.
Close to Waipu town for supplies.
Facilities are clean, but the only reason it doesn't get a 10 is they are a bit dated. Would stay here again though.

Great big camp with just sand dunes to go over to long lovely beach.
Some permanent campsites. Showers free but a bit dated. LovelyCove cafe nearby for dinner. Also coast walk. Free wifi.

Lovely, clean campsite.
Right next to the beach which is a very long and nice beach where you can make nice walks. It is a big campsite with several private bungalows but well organised so you are not included in their center as it is in other campsites (especially in Whangamata/coromandel where it is horrible).
We had a bungalow with kitchen and private bathroom so we don't know for the other amenities in the camp. The bungalow was very well organised and furnished with everything you need, very comfortable and with a nice veranda with table/chairs. Good heating as it was in winter. Very quiet even if it was NZ holidays. They clean and take care of the camp very frequently when we were there. Great location, great bungalow and really nice staff. We stayed 3 nights in July 2020 (french couple).

Very big campsite, perfect for children.
Lots of things for them to do. It was v quiet when we were there and feel that when it is full it will be heaving.
Facilities clean, shower on timer but plenty of time. Good wifi. Walk to Cove restaurant.

Was barely anyone there late April but still $27 for 1 on power.
50c for shower but did not work so no shower at all, was not impressed, gave young receptionist something to grin about though! Beautiful beach over the dunes. Would be different vibe in summer.

Excellent!
We stayed in the non-powered sites about 30 seconds walk to the beach! Toilets, showers (+50c) and kitchen all spotlessly clean. €30 a night for 2 ppl, non-powered van.

4.5/5
Great place to stay.
Short walk on paths across conservation dunes to get to beach! Multiple amenities blocks. Clean 50c 5min showers; huge fully equipped kitchens with glass front fridges. Bit boggy on grass but plenty of other options for motorhomes.
