Whanganui Seaside Holiday Park

Holidays by the Seaside

If you're looking for Whanganui Accommodation, why stay in town – when only 8km from the city centre you can Fish, Play, Unwind and Relax!

Our park is your first step to unwinding in Beautiful Whanganui. Set up camp or stay in one of our many cabins or motel units. Adjacent to a large adventure playground, flying fox, basketball courts, and skateboard rink, and of course....the beach!

3 Acres of beautiful park-like grounds, adjacent to Castlecliff beach.

Laze around and enjoy our amazing BBQ complex, complete with a large outdoor fireplace, swimming pool and sauna. Our shower/toilet block got fully renovated in August 2020.

Our friendly team are dedicated to making your stay relaxing and enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you all soon!

    Good clean facilities and well equipped family friendly Campground.

    However the manager was rude and unpleasant. I did not feel welcome, instead I got long lectures about what I did wrong and then got asked to pay for it. She backtracked eventually but the experience stays with me unfortunately.

    On Sunday 29th May I booked in and paid for a 10 day stay at your camping ground On Monday morning we drove down from our site on the grassy hill to the kitchen where my wife Cherie prepared our breakfast

    I parked outside the BBQ area and just before the entrance I in the meantime had gone up to the toilet

    While there a very loud female voice started shouting out for the owner of the Grey Toyota Hiace (mine) and advising all that whoever owned it to remove it because it was blocking the access for their truck to start their cleaning process

    I went down to our campervan and she followed me continuing to tell me that I couldn't park there and told me I could park on site number 8 which you know is directly opposite the entrance into the lounge/kitchen area

    The next day I again parked on site 8 this time that same woman came along and said that I could no longer park there as there was a large unit (campervan/caravan) coming in and they would need that area as it was the largest one in the camp

    The next day I parked in the small sealed area between the kitchen and the toilet blocks near the clothes lines that same woman came again and told me I couldn't park there as large units (campervans/caravans) needed the area to turn in

    I then parked outside the men's toilet block and once again that same woman came and told me I couldn't park there as it blocked the access for the cleaners and the access to the dumpster at the time I was watching the TV she stood over me issuing her orders and I said sit down take the weight off of your feet she said no I don't want to sit down I said I'll have to get myself sorted and ready because I walk with the aid of crutches

    thanks for taking the time to give us a review. Yes this is right you can not park on the tar mack as it is the area the campers need to use to dump there waste people do not like it when it is difficult for them to do this. All these places you parked are where it was other than site 8 which is a site for large campers .

    You booked a non powered site on other side of camp maybe a powered site would of been better for you right by the camp kitchen thanks

    A really nice holiday park with clean and modern facilities.

    The kitchen has very unusually low benches. There is a nice pool, flat tent sites, bbq area and modern dining room. The lounge even has a TV! Also they give you free WiFi vouchers 5gb per time. Unfortunately the reserve, road and beach across the road were used both nights to rev up motorbikes and quad bikes and drag race them up and down, making sleep almost impossible. Not the fault of the park but needs sorting by the council or police. The noise was loud enough to wake me up several times during the night - amplified further by the echoing effect of the area - and went on well into the wee hours. A shame for such a great park with excellent facilities

    The facilities were clean with good hot showers here but the wifi kept dropping and was very slow during the blips it did connect (1-2mbps). No complaints otherwise.
