Average/poor facilities and our site was given to someone else while out for the day.

This also happened to the people next to us. Would not recommend and will not be back.

We loved this spot!

Beautiful rocky beach accessable from your camp spot. The grounds were lovely and tidy, grass was freshly cut. We didn't use the kitchen facilities but they looked clean. Only down side is you had to pay for showers. The campground had a really nice vibe about it!

Really nice spot, very pretty with a nice beach.

Was very quiet, all facilities were clean and well maintained. We got in before the rush, gets busy around 16/12 so get in before then with the nice weather and peace and quiet.

Despite the negativity of this place as per previous reviews.

Nothing but a warm welcome and lovely place to stay. Very quiet at this time of year. Would recommend this place as a nice quiet place to stay at this time of year

Do not stay here unless you have no other option.

The only thing this camping ground has going for it is its location next to a beach.

Tried all afternoon to call ahead to secure a powered site for 1 night as it was a busy time of year, no one picked up the phone. When we arrived the office was manned by a very rude woman (no idea what she had been doing all day). Her tone was condescending and unprofessional when asked about a vacant site and local transport in the area. After meeting such friendly people everywhere else in NZ she was a massive grouchy rude let down.

Facilities very old and tired, messy, not well maintained. Sites are very close together with little privacy.

Location next to beach is good. Showers are free although the sign on them makes it look like you need to pay.

If you're in the area check out The Mussel Inn just down the road. Their live music nights are brilliant. Despite what the grumpy lady in the office will tell you there are 2 numbers you can call if you have had a couple of drinks and need a ride back to your accommodation. Sign is next to the bar at the Mussel Inn, must be prebooked.

Great location on the beach.

Facilities clean and tidy, but would be under pressure at busy times. Not cheap and showers 50c.

Loved this wonderful site.

Stayed for 2 nights. Very quiet when we went but imagine it would fill up in high season. Right on the beach - fantastic for the dogs. Would definitely return.

Of all the campsites in Golden Bay, this was my favourite.

Normally I cringe when I see “Holiday Park”, as I prefer quieter places, but this one was a quiet place.

Everything I needed was there, it all worked fine, and the people were helpful and friendly. But the best thing was the location. No traffic, no streetlights, no noise except the birds and the waves, and views out across the whole Bay, from Cape Farewell to Separation Point.

It’s easy to get in and out of, and right on the beach.

There are good shelter belts for bad weather if you need that.

It’s a big site, and in summer I’m sure it’s full of holidaying families, but when I was there in September it was quiet. I had a beachside spot, with a sea view on a powered site (sunrise is from the sea).

I had a fire on the beach under the moonlight, and saw seals and dolphins. Excellent.
