4.5/5
Loved this campsite.
Waterside pitches for a small extra fee. Accessibility obviously important as all bathrooms accessible to all. Best showers yet. Small issue with laundry quickly remedied by smiling office staff who were genuinely happy to help. 5 mins walk from Farewell Spit tour office.

4.5/5
Relatively small site but right on the coast.
Could see the sea ( although we weren’t able to get a spot next to it - which meant we had more room and was good for second night when I suspect it was windy).
Showers were really powerful and hot. Handy location to drive up to Farewell spit without having to stay up there were it’s super windy. WiFi and kitchen good.

A little gem in the bay.
Beautiful landscape, very clean place and quiet.
Kitchen was a bit small but the camp was not full and not so many people were using it so it was fine and it was a good occasion to chact with the other super nice campers.
Thank you to the owners who care so much and are really making us feeling great here.

Wunderschöner Platz, auch jetzt in der Weihnachtszeit nicht zu rummelig.
Wir standen Waterfront, hatten Glück mit der Tide und konnten mit Wellengeplätscher schlafen. Tolle Facilities, insb. die Waschräume. Hier hat man quasi eine Art Waschraum mit Toilette, Waschbecken und Dusche für sich. Perfekt!
Wir können die Farewell Split Tour sehr empfehlen, aber an einem Tag hat man dann auch alles gesehen. Touren in den Abel Tasman NP sind von hier aus zu aufwändig, daher sind wir schweren Herzens eine Nacht früher abgereist und auf einen Campground direkt in Marahau gewechselt.

Quiet and peacefull
NO SANDFLIES 😁😁😁 (and no wekas)

3.5/5
Amazing spot right by the beach, the only drawback is if you’re tenting they really cram you in.
We had 4 other tents right next to us with no real privacy. If you’re in a caravan or something probably a much better experience. Facilities are great, the powerful shower might knock you off your feet!

0.5/5
I can't understand why people gave it 9/10 or 10/10.
Honestly being locals new zealanders
Or 5/5 or 4/5 etc etc
Deserves a minimum rating you can!
$15 not worth it.
Might $5 or 6 per persons
Unless they improve lot of stuff and especially their customers service!!!

Self explanatory
I honestly don’t understand the criteria for people to rate this place 5 stars!!! At least for camping, this was by far the WORST experience ever! The owners/staff just treat you as if they are doing a favor for you to be there, even paying NZ$15 pppn. Although THE OWNERS CONTEST MY REVIEWS, even having bbq and pizza oven, when I asked them to use it, the staff said it was only for guests. So, the tiny little camping kitchen was completely busy and we couldn’t have food until late that night. There is no oven available, just a small camping stove (see pics). There are written signs in the kitchen saying that cutlery and plates are available upon request on main kitchen only.
I agree with this one.
Campsite behind the barn is full of horse poo no where to pitch a tent.
And the whole site not child safe and friendly.
We had 2y 8m old child with us!
And when we tried to make them understand that site wasn't child safe the host gave us a weird look and said they are not responsible and care about child safety but that we have a watch our child like a prisoner(Wouldn't understand that child can even run away while you constantly watching them).
And my wife said after this she felt like she is being balmed for not being a good parent!!!
Host didn't bother about contacting owner to resolve the issue or for child safety.
Hi Kumar, perhaps this is for "that other place"? We don't have horses or barns ;-) Glad you guys came and stayed after this place though!

My husband and I loved our two nights at the camp.
The toilet/shower block that has been done up is exceptional. Even though we had rain we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Collingwood. Cute town and so worth a visit.

5.0/5
Cleanest toilet shower in the South Island by far.
Kitchens clean but basic, got the job done. Very friendly staff. Laundry available if needed and all dumping sites and fresh water.
Would visit here again. A little pricey at $38 for one person in a self contained vehicle.

Family of 4, with a campervan.
Nice and tidy camping site! Friendly staff, clean open kitchen, and brand new bathrooms & toilets, with great water pressure. Well equipped laundry ($4 wash + $4 dryer). Pub & restaurant is crossing the street. Well prepared for COVID, lots of signs. We love when owners reinvest on improvements and make places better.

Stayed 29/3/21 2 adults and dog in our motorhome.
Nice friendly checkin. Cost $34 powered site. No cost for shower. New management. Has two toilet blocks, we used the older block as close to our camp site. Shower/toilets in pods okay and plenty of hot water and water pressure. Kitchen area open area, but clean and tidy. Hot water for drinking. Dishing washing liquid etc. Used TV room to watch the news. Two minutes walk to the pub for takeaway fish and chips.... also recommend. Recommend to others.
