4.0/5
I arrived today on a rainy Saturday and the start of school holidays and no booking!
Fox Glacier Lodge Camping Ground:
Not a problem as everywhere had “vacancies” on signs out the front!
This camp is in an “L” shape at the back of the lodge building and is definitely better than i expected. So don’t judge on what you can see from reception office (which I initially did). The ablutions are at the start of the “L”, BBQ area at corner and kitchen/lounge at far end.
Cost was $25 for one person, unpowered which was fine.
Definitely could do with a spruce up - especially the BBQ area. But all in all a good camp!
Camp kitchen and lounge area very adequate as with ablutions!
The Top 10 park in the area quoted me $40 for the same, but this is definitely more my kind of camp!

I loved this cute, little campsite near the foxglacier.
Very friendly staff and a cute lightworm tour for free in the evening. We stayed one night, but definitely book again here! You can choose your spot by yourself and the kitchen and bathrooms were super clean and nice!

8/10 Facilities a bit tired but the warm welcome and Introduction more than made up for it Shower super powerful Perfect for a sleepover whilst exploring the area - if you are looking for a nice
meal out check out Betsy Jane - one of the best meals we have had in NZ and lovely staff - 5 mins walk from the lodge

The prospect of a free glow worm tour was why we picked this site, and it did not disappoint!

Good campsite and excellent value.
Some facilities a bit run down but all of it immaculately clean and in perfect working order. Great value, great location and make sure you check out the glow work tour!

Overall, I would not recommend this campground.
Although staff was really friendly and helpful, the facilities are not in a good condition. Not only that they are really old and there seems to be no motivation to upgrade them in some way by e.g. adding decoration, blankets on the sofas etc.
Even worse is that you can find a lot of mold all over the shower rooms which makes the air hard to breathe and is probably bad for one‘s health.
All of that does not match the rather high price for a campervan site. To me it seemed like the owners do not want to spend even one dollar in upgrading this campsite, but simply getting every dollar out of it until it will fall apart.

I’d definitely stay there again!
The guy at the front desk was so great and even took us on a free glow worm walk. They were so nice and staff was great. The showers were a little bit old and the wifi didn’t work super great but other than that I would stay here again.

Ok for one or two nights, older facilities, water pressure in showers pretty average but obviously popular enough.

20$pp.
Lovely spot for vans. Close to everything. Hot shower and good wifi.
Amenities are a bit old but very clean.
And the guy at the reception was SO nice, kind and very helpful. And he does a walk at night to go see the glow worm, make sure to go !
Definitively stay here for one night if you stay at Fox glacier !

Nice little site.
A warm wellcome, small but good equipped kitchen.
I have only to deduct one point for the rain. But add an extra Bonus for the clean washrooms and strong, hot shower.
Great stay.
