Exelent quiet and fairly clean site which lots of space, friendly staff - few tourists and lots of local families❤️ Maybe best out of holiday season where it could be crowded.

Too expensive for what you get.

We paid about 65$ for 2 adults and 2 small children on a powered site, it was a grey winter day and the atmosphere on the camping was completely dead, the common rooms (inclusive bathrooms) were really cold and the equipments not clean enough so that you didn’t want to use it. The playgrounds were all broken. Unfortunately an aging camping with a need of refreshment.

Had three workers stay in cabins at this camp for two weeks, cabins were clean and tidy, toilets and showers were nice and fresh.

The boys enjoyed their stay specially being so close to the beach, staff were very pleasant and helpful. Have booked in again for our next trip to Christchurch.

Huge campsite with very few people actually there.

Gets a major plus for the beach, which is just a few minutes away. Showers, however, were crap.

A fantastic beginning to our trip around South Island.

The campsite is set in beautiful woodland with a short walk to a vast beach. Plenty of space and peace and quiet to get over the jet lag. Just one mark off for the showers which were a bit dated.

Great location.

Forest, beach and aviary were great. Basic but clean kitchen. The only thing letting it down are the showers. 5 mins, preset temperature which was, quite frankly, lukewarm.

A big campsite next to the beach with good connections to Christchurch.

However, passive aggressive official notices throughout the campsite meant we felt unwelcome. The showers cost a dollar for six minutes of hot water and were RUBBISH, it was like being dribbled on by a dog and were either freezing cold or boiling hot. They were also incredibly dirty with lots of hair on the walls and we had to pay a dollar for the experience!

We only stayed near Christchurch for one night however, if we were staying longer we would not have remained at this campsite as it did not have a welcoming atmosphere.

Big campsite with lots of caravans parked up there but there was only probably 7 groups of people actually staying the night so made it a quiet campsite.

Showers weren't very good and were 2x50c coins. Great location for a long beach. Good value- $34 for 2 on a powered site.

Awesome camp in my opinion as it is cheap if you compare it to others in the area.

I have two children under ten years old so I was happy with the three playgrounds as were they. Facilities were very good and although they were not new they were always clean and functional. Highly recommended to all travellers especially people in campers fresh off the plane and family campers.
