Wonderful powered campsite right by the beach for a decent price (~34 for two ppl).
The owners are super friendly too and even stayed open a few minutes later in the winter for us to arrive. Good bathroom/shower facilities.

Lovely quiet place.
One big grass campsite, well maintained. Friendly woman at the reception and there was also a campsite cat that walks around. Facilities were clean, a little bit outdated but still fine. We also did some laundry and there was enough space to hang it outside. 2 min. Walk to the beach, lovely!!

We loved the park, it was beautifully kept & so cheap.
We were only staying one night, but stayed three. Very close to city if you wanted it. Definitely be back, the staff were so friendly. Black sand, if you have a van park up on the hill, wow sea views.

Beautiful !
Exceptional customer service, very clean and well looked after. Safe and secure ! A really nice quiet place, right next to the black sand beach. The locals are lovely, downfall was seeing other guests disrespectfully jump the fence to the beach, rather than walking a few extra steps past the office. We will definitely be back !!!

Very clean and good value for $14 a night with free hot showers.
Modern shower block. The sites are unmarked - just camp wherever. My only issue is the kitchen which only has one fridge/freezer and the hot plates are not very good. I would stay here again.

One of the best places i have ever been at the north island.
You get everything you need. Toilets and showers are very clean an new. Just kitchen and the living room is a little bit old, but they want to make it new.
The old host couple is very helpfuly and friendly. Wonderful Black sand beach is just 1 minute away and mt. taranaki is just about 30min away.
I was there in November 2018 and i would come back every time ✌🏼
Cheers, have a great time there
