The owner is so kind and the site is beautiful, loads of space and the facilities are basic but well worth it.

Showers in my opinion are cheap $2 for 6 minutes! I paid $5 dollars for 8 minutes elsewhere. Actually ended up staying here more than once.

Nature at its best!

It is super quite, only a few minutes from Nelson, clean and friendly staff! Not crowded, even in high season! Kitchens, Toilets and cheap but really good working Wifi. Hot showers for 2$.

13$ pp non-powered site, 24$ pp powered site

More than worth it!

Lots of tent spots.

Even though lots of permanent campers, they are in separate section and the whole site was quiet and people respectful of each other day and night. We stayed down bottom near creek, toilet/shower block down there was old, but clean. Weren't given any info about showers costing money at check in. Another resident thankfully informed us as we were heading in. They are $2 for 6 minutes.

Also weren't informed that dryers in laundry needed tokens from front office. Office closes 530pm.

Truely idilic place, set in a beautiful valley by the river with swim holes.

Hosts Carol and George are welcoming and helpful. Easy access for our fifth wheeler, great set up. Very relaxing and quiet, kids and dog live the walks. Highly recommend *****

We stayed here for just 1 night.

Lovely setting amongst bush & theres a river & walking tracks. There are permanents living there that make the place look a little untidy but if you're at the other end of the camp it's quite nice. Owners were very helpful and friendly. The facilities were quite outdated but showers & toilets were immaculate. I would definitely stay again.

Fantastic campsite worth a lot more than $10 per person in comparison to others we've stayed.

Its huge and has very good facilities. It was full of mountain bikers creating a very cool chilled vibe. If we had more time we would have stayed a few more nights. No mobile coverage but that was actually nice to just detach and enjoy the surroundings but they do offer wifi if you can't live without it for one night

Where to start.

. .

Carol and George have been soo kind and friendly to us. When we first arrived Carol was a warming welcome, we had previous problems freedom camping in the city centre with loud music in the early hours and it was a breath of fresh air staying at the camp grounds. We first met George walking around the grounds and he has been nothing but a friendly face and a great laugh. The kitchen area was always clean and tidy and so were the showers, there is the internet room to charge your devices for free also. We did get a bit confused on where to park but they are both friendly enough to be ask twice. Don't get put off by the cheap price, the owners are just very kind and helpful to campers. There are a few simple rules but as along as you cooperate all is fine. What was ment to be only a few nights ended up with over 2 weeks and counting. Thank you both for your great hospitality.

We have used this site a few times now and this trip we have used the site in early December when it was very quiet and then 2nd Dec when very busy.

Staff are great at the site with security wandering around during busy periods.

Cheap laundry.

Powered and none powered sites available.

Some full time residents on site.

For mountain bikers there are a variety of routes available from easy gravel tracks to black runs.

Stream close by which seemed popular.

Much as we stay away from big sites this one was very open friendly and no noise.

Great camp.

Older style, agreed; but clean facilities and friendly, helpful management. Really nice surrounds close to town, walks and some quality mountain biking nearby.

Absolutely gorgeous campsite.

Absolutely gorgeous campsite. Quiet, peaceful, lovely swimming hole. Ducks came to visit us for food, amazing. Woke to the sound of birdsong. Very clean and tidy. Internet kiosk. Twenty dollars for two people per night unpowered. The staff were amazing and so helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend you stay here, even the older couple we met from England said it was the best site they had stayed at. Five minute drive to centre of Nelson. Check out Stefano's Italian Pizza in Nelson for real pizza.
