    Idyllischer Campingplatz, der etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist.

    Trotzdem ist alles vorhanden, was man für eine Übernachtung braucht. Das WLAN war allerdings so schwach, dass wir die eigene neuseeländische Simkarte benutzt haben. Stellplätze aus Schotterboden, allerdings mit Blick in Gärten. Jede Menge Vogelgezwitscher, was einen friedlich zur Ruhe kommen lässt.

    Nice little campsite with quite a number of good features: + Only 4 vans in July + Far from any heavy traffic + Very (very) friendly, accommodating and patient staff + Was 20$ pp --- this doesn't quite

    agree withe the 3$ symbol in Rankers

    + Clean and tidy facilities; nice scolding showers

    My family of 5 (3 small children) stayed here for 5 days this summer.

    We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend the park. It is quiet, very clean, free hot showers, and everyone was friendly and helpful. They had a few bunnies and animals that my kids loved. Location was great for us as we prefer quiet and charming and don't mind the short drive to attractions in Wellington.

    Was unsure about staying here after some reviews but glad we did.

    Came in a camper for a non powered site. Friendly staff on phone and at desk. Plenty of toilets and hot showers. Large fully equipped kitchen with multiple stations. Washer $4 and dryer $2 for 26 mins. Dump station and water available. Nice and quiet. Biggest plus was the goats, chickens and little pony.

    Came off the ferry from Picton to Wellington late hoping to get a powered spot for our self contained camper.

    Keith answered the phone late, was able to take payment over the phone, and was quick and easy to work with.

    Haven’t used the facilities, but the grounds were easy to navigate and seemed well kept.

    After dealing with a lot of bad spots, it was nice to come across this place easily and quickly from Wellington.

    Thanks Keith!!!

    The place has some potential but the owners seem on the hopeless side - grumpy and rude except when taking payments.

    They dont take suggestions about neccesary improvements kindly and tend to blame guests for the sad condition of the facilities.

    I read some of the reviews and was expecting a fairly average experience but was pleasantly surprised.

    Nice clean toilets and showers, pleasant reception, and tidy campsite. Was disappointing that there was a 6 foot fence between the campsite and the river so nothing special on the site itself but lovely public parks and walks right next door.

    Facilities a bit old. Someone threw our wet clothes out of the dryer on the floor and stole a t-shirt! Our baby girl's clothes were spread all over the ground! Seriously, who would do that?!

    Nice facilities made it worth the $15 each for unpowered site, great toilets, hot shower, large kitchen and laundry, powerpoints avaiable in kitchen and laundry.

    Farm animals around would entertain kids. Perfect for catching the Picton ferry the following day half an hour drive away - allow an hour though in case of traffic.

    It was a tough time for me as it is and the Male host came across a very nosy person . Me and my babiez dad seprated a few months later . When the male host found that out due to gossp he began being stalker ish and always apearing everywhere i was on the camping grounds .Passing sexual commebts to wards females other than my self .Touch me on my stomic and pelvic area i was scared and frigtend at that point a few days later i hace child youth and family on my door step with police to take my baby away from me . The feeling I felt Was like a peace of me died tge pain i still feel. I read the the custody papers and wat do ya no keith the host name is in my papers telling malisous lies about my parenting and my motherly behavous due to the fact I court him out he also knock on tbe cabion door asuming my babies dad was thier ect.. I still dont have my son in my care because of this person he has made my life a living hell i would like to see this guy one day being seen as a sexual preditor and a family destoryer . Mums dads i honestly recomend u no . Have long stay here if posible . I am yet to recive my rent and bond

    Sorry to say that I will not recommend this, felt very uneasy there!

    Very old bathrooms but I must say it was clean! Laundry facilities old and not washing and drying as it should. But you don't have much other choice there, had to take the early ferry.

    Large, peaceful environment.

    Unit was clean, tidy and comfortable. Really friendly and helpful hosts where nothing was any trouble. They were even brilliant when there was a late change. Would definitely come back.

    Quiet campground next to the Hutt river.

    Plenty of room for 7.2m van. Good toilets & showers - clean. Did not see much of the owners as we arrived late on first night.

    Great place to explore LOTR film locations - next to Isengard (Harcourt Park) gardens and down the valley from Rivendell (Kaitoke Regional Park). Also convenient for Wellington and the ferry.
