4.5/5
Nice site with all amenities.
Everything felt neat and clean and camping spots were nice. Very close to the beach but a bit of a walk to the city center if you wanna eat out.
The glow worm dell just across the street is a must if you stay here :)

Friendly staff, very knowledgable about the area.
The facilities were not fresh but well maintained and clean. Alpacas a nice touch. 20 min walk into the town centre.

Nice little campsite, trees and grass not just a gravel pitch.
Good free hot showers, well equipped kitchen and lounge- which was great as while we were there it did nothing but rain. Glow worms 2 min walk, a definite must do free experience even in torrential rain. Would be convenient for the beach in the summer.

Nice spot literally right across from the glow worm dell.
Reasonable kitchen and clean bathroom. Wait for the crowds to clear out of the glowworm dells if you can.

Our 3rd or 4th visit so not so bad.

Lovely friendly little campsite.
Cute little area with some animals. Good facilities. Not many showers (1 male and 1 female I think) but small campsite so wasn't an issue when we were there. Lovely short access to the beach too.

Great campground.
Good, clean facilities. Really nice “farmlet” with animals. The glow worm dell is worth a visit. But the star is the Tasman Sea and amazing beach. Incredible sunsets, great night sky. Beware the ocean after dark though!

People (very friendly), location (practically on the beach), outfit (everything you may wish for and all clean and tidy), animals (super nice cat, weird looking small camels and others), insects (haven
’t seen any, not even a sandfly), weather (very nice and sunny but may probably differ at times) for a VERY reasonable price. So yes, if we were ever to come near this place again, you would find us right here.

Amazing place with nice personnel, great facilities, super close to beach and cozy environment!!
I 100% recommend, good price for parking spots as well! (A cross the road you find a cool spot for glow worms!!)

Nice kitchen, and good showers.

Not so good an experience for us: in fact probably the worst campsite we have encountered in a month of travelling.
Unable to use a pop up tent to store things and unable to have the grass sites as despite being labelled they are not in use? The pitch given was tiny; no space for seating. I feel we are purely paying for a parking space as there is very little else on offer. Close to beach but in this tiny town it’s difficult to find somewhere that isn’t! Will be requesting refund and moving somewhere more pleasant less pretentious and with unnecessary rules....
