Couldn't recommend this camp more!
Unbelievably kind and caring owners who helped check me in on short notice after having to be towed to Murchison. An unpowered site is only $15 and you can park up right by the waters edge which is incredibly peaceful. I had lovely chats with the wonderful owner and her fully self sufficient life style is something to aspire to. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Great spot with a nice fella hosting.
Good toilets and showers along with 2 great kitchens fully kitted out with lots of utensils. Nice sitting area outside which would be great in the summer, alongside the river for a dip! TV lounge is fantastic with Netflix on the TV and a raring fire.

No need to book if unpowered but check in by 9pm.
Great ‘ jumping pillow’ which was fun even for us adults !
Showers are $2 for a hot one but cold is free. Laundry at $2/load also. Kitchen spacious and well equipped. Hardly any sandflies.
Overall a lovely place to stay.

Friendly greeting by a man working there but disgusting responses from an ill mannered woman when he wasn't around.
I was enjoying my stay until she opened her mouth and ruined my day. Due to the bad experience I'm forced to rate it low.

A lovely quiet place to stay with friendly owners.
$30 for a non-powered site for 2 people for one night. Unlimited nice hot showers & laundry facilities for an extra cost. A great kitchen with a really lovely spacious covered veranda to sit on by the river to eat, chill and socialise! The only thing I’d say is prepare for lots of midges and mozzies since it is right by the river, not that this can be prevented at all! Just bring some strong bug repellent

It's still excellent, and one of the better places we stayed in NZ.
The staff are incredible.

Owners are super friendly and very relaxed.
$35 for powered site and could choose any free spot. Kitchen is amazing with a beautiful view of the river. Only thing is the $2 charge for a shower but I suppose that makes up for the cheaper nightly rate. There were many bugs around so ensure your have bug cream or spray. $2 per washing and dryer. Would def recommend and return if I ever get the chance.

Great place right overlooking the River which offers a great swimming spot.
Lots free bike with a biking track right at doorstep. Also offers a fully equipped kitchen and beautiful decking area. The owner even offers us free hot showers. Would love to stay again. Best of it all no sandflies!

We weren’t planning on staying in Murchison, but it was getting late and the area we were planning on staying was still an hour away.
We are so lucky we came across this gem. The water hole was just what we needed at 28 degrees, got to pick our own tent site and had the option of bush or water front, facilities were well kept and clean, showers were thought out with the payment box inside the shower cubicle.

Best showers in the South island, even though they cost $2.
Laundry only $2. Use a bicycle for a quick trip into town. Fully equipped kitchen with magnificent view of the river.

Great spot to spend the night.
The owner was very welcoming and we were able to choose our spot to park up. Kitchen is fully equipped, cutlery included (we had our own bits but nice to see this). Only down side is you had to pay for the showers, but they still work on cold for free which we didn't mind. Would be a fun spot over summer when it's warm enough for swimming.

Great place, clean toilets/showers.
Parked close to River and on gravel which was great as we had a lot of rain. Great river walks for dogs.

We arrived at night, the place is well signed and the owner really lovely.
Maybe due to the time of the year (13th Sept 2020) it's empty so we could choose where to park our campervan.
Kitchen is well equipped and clean. Toilets and showers ($2 for 10min) also clean.
Lots of birds and the river is just right there. I'd recommend!

Paid $18 for a powered site.
Was 3rd to arrive so got to pick nearly from the lot
Bathrooms very clean and showers are hot. Laundry facilities available for $2 (shower $2 too), free wifi is great!
Would be a great place to stay over summer/warmer months and take advantage of the river and outdoors

This park has everything every other park does- except everything is better than any park we have visited.
Location: we walked to to town one day, biked the other. Location, location, location!
Campsite: you pick your own site. Need I say more?
Kitchen-eating facilities: amazing kitchen and utensils. But when you sit down to the table to eat on the deck overlooking the river, and you’re having a conversation with a person comfortable on one of the couches or sofa, you realize not many parks offer this setting!
Showers / Bathrooms: clean and plenty! Never have to wait.
Swimming hole- with a red one to swing and jump from, rocks to dive from, and great sandy bottom for getting out. Awesome!
Bikes: free use of bikes and helmets; at least 12 bikes to choose from. Just grab n go.
Trails: not good on the kiwi names, but a trail that is part of the park takes you on a 20 minute journey thru great NZ old growth vegetation and trees!
Owner: Robin will keep you both informed and entertained. We visited the museum, six mile hike and a great pizza. And he has plenty of stories!
Overall: We showed up and booked one night. We left 3 daze later!

One of the best.
Clean, nice staff, hot showers, well stocked kitchens. We loved the open eating / hanging out area by the river. Surprisingly hardly any sand flies. Good location on the river, just a few minutes to town. Had a great 8 night stay.

$35 for two of us and a camper van.
Showers are $2 but worth it for free WiFi all over the camp and really nice clean facilities/hot shower. Camp itself is near the water and a really nice place to stay!

Really wonderful people who work in the office offered me many, many off the beaten path suggestions for the remainder of my trip.
They were awesome. The property itself and all the facilities were very well taken care of.
