2.5/5
Campsite should be updated, seems old fashioned.
Male shower was not working. Looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a while. No soap in bathroom or kitchen.
Campsite is next to highway and (active) railway, so earplugs are advisable.

Stayed for 2 nights in powered site in our caravan.
Plenty of sites, basically a big open area. Toilets (men’s and ladies) basic but useable. Two showers in separate room. Didn’t use kitchen as we cooked by our van. Close to river with popular swimming hole. Had extra flush toilets there for swimmers which was handy. We camped under huge trees at the end for their shade. Also next to bush area with marked tracks throughout for short walks. Great for dogs.
Picnic tables scattered around campsite,
In all, basic place but enjoyed it because it was simple and quiet.
Paid $40 for 2 pax powered site.

Older facilities but relatively tidy.
$18 seemed a bit steep for a (slightly muddy) bit of grass and just an overnight unpowered stay.

ANSWER THE PHONE or have common Courtesy to update website or contact for check ins, after the long travel our family done, and with this time of year, we waited an hour, phoned 9 times sent texts, tended
to our 2 young children in the car which we had to leave on for heating as it was wet and cold, all cabins had keys people whom seemed they were there were very secluded and payed no attention to coming and going vehicles. Homeless would call this place a haven during cold night's. The disappointing 😕 part is i grew up around this camping ground, and even in the winter seasons never have I seen this place so gloomy and grim. To think 🤔 our family have shares in this land where it now looks and feels Deserted & Isolated. Bring the life back, I'd be keen to take on that opportunity. Honestly can not recommend this as a warm inviting lovely family friendly environment to stay at. Kotahi Whanau Tū Mai Maori Tangata.

Nice place, feelings are 50:50 though..
To call it campground yes, its cool, old fashioned, just two old showers and WC for each genre, then basic pretty nice kitchen with usefull equimpent, very nice outside dinnig area, grassy area for tents..but holiday park no no.. would not call it like that and for the price 18pp, unpowered tent.

+ Very friendly and helpful owners.
We came back another night after the refered 3-day-canoe-trip (we were exhausted). We slept-in/check out really late without a problem. Hot (strong) clean showers and very clean (real) toilets. Big kitchen, gas-bbq, and plenty of picknicktables. Washer and dryer made my dirty laundry happy within no time! Right besides the start of the Wanganui river (swimarea). Site is right outside town (great pies at the Taumaruni Bakery).
- Drinkingwater (bad muddy taste, both days)
- Long train in the middle of the night right next to campsite (earplugs :)

Great little place.
Picnic table to use beside campervan. Right by river and a walk nearby which had it not been pouring with rain we would have run down in the morning. Facilities great, everything you need and a fantastic herb and vegetable garden to help yourself too. Staff friendly as well.

A basic old campground like they used to be.
Ok except that there’s several ‘permanents’ living there who don’t tidy up after themselves. Otherwise ok

Stopped here on the night through to Auckland.
Was a bit unimpressed. Facilities could do with a tidy up and couldn't get the stove tops to work so cooked in my van.

The bed sheets were clean but that is all.
The room was filthy dirty. The shared bathrooms were old and sad and only 2 showers and 2 toilets for the whole camp. No other ammenities. I wouldnt stay again and i wouldnt reccommend

Had high expectations but this site is not for us.
Only stayed one night not sure how it got there but there was mud on both showers and in the sink. I know that probably the campers did this but off putting. Might also have been different if there wasn’t a party of schoolboys there (at least 20) who took over and it was pouring with rain. Well not be staying there again sorry.

Fantastic.
Stunning view, beautiful camp grounds, $36 for 2 people unpowered site, but with access to what seemed like newly renovated facilities, the lady at check in was very friendly, and had even offered to drive my missus and I into town to pick up some drinks/snacks as our camper was already set up for bedding, after she had finished her shift for the day, and brought us back, 10/10 for service for sure.
