Very nice, spacious holiday park.

Everyone has their assigned parking, clean toilet & showers and a nice big kitchen/cooking area. Plenty of outdoor space for playing games, hang washing or just chilll. Definitely one of the best campsites we’ve stayed at during our two week trip

This park is great and the owners are awesome.

The pool was being repainted ready for the Christmas holidays, the office has a few sundries ( like washing powder sachets, hut milk and various treats ) free showers, usual kitchen setup plus a free shelf. Our dog loved it here too, a beach on one side and an estuary on the other, very dog friendly area as well.

First place we headed to after picking up our campervan in Christchurch and it was a lovely spot just 2 blocks from the beach and right beside a walking trail along the estuary.

4 or 5 campers to a fairly small open space was a bit tight but it worked. Facilities were a bit dated but kept clean. Unlimited hot showers were great. Friendly and helpful staff. We took an Uber to Christchurch for a nice dinner otherwise the walk to New Brighton and to the pier was a nice stroll down the beach. Would stay again for sure.

We came during a busy weekend and we’re crammed into a confined space next to the bins.

We had planned to stay 2 nights and took the van out in the day to see some sights, we came back to another van parked in our site. Staff were helpful but again we ended up shoved in corner. Nice location for long walks on Brighton beach.

Nice location 3 blocks from a great beach and 20 min from downtown Christchurch.

Staff friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and showers could use an update and a good cleaning. I love the free table where we left a lot of stuff as we were flying out the next day

We came in May 2023, we weren’t planning on coming here but decided last minute and rang ahead, really lovely lady Nicky on reception booked us in , price was great compared to other places, we paid $68

for 4 adults in a camper van, laundry room good, showers nice and hot no timer, borrowed a hairdryer from reception, busy site but not noisy at all, we were doing the TranzAlpine train the next day so left our van on a spare plot overnight the next day and collected it the day after, paid a very small fee , Nicky was really helpful arranging all this ,

Great place, clean and has free showers!

Only down side is the kitchen facilities are small for the amount of people.

Wasn't expecting much due to prior reviews but we were pleasantly surprised.

We paid $40 for the two of us on an unpowered site, which is perfectly reasonable considering the free showers (with mint water pressure), water, dump station and full kitchen (even had an oven :o )

Roughly 90 sites, was pretty full when we were there. The place is full of trees and bushes which means that it doesn't feel quite so much like you're staying at a Top 10 factory farm. The permanents do take up maybe 40% of the place but they seemed like a pretty jovial friendly bunch to us and weren't noisy in the evenings.

It's technically walking distance to the beach, but I wouldn't want to be carrying too much as its a fair way.

New Brighton as a whole was a bit rough around the edges, but the beach and pier were worth checking out

Pretty basic facilities, really old, which is especially sad when you see toilets/shower.

I’ve asked for a dark spot, but got a super bright one, right under a light 😡

44 nzd for a powered site seems too much, considering all above.

Stuff is friendly tho.

I stayed earlier in March’22.

One person with a power connection camping in my small van. Good facilities, equal to but no better than many I have stayed in over several years of camping in NZ. Returned in November ‘22 to find fee has doubled to $44. The most expensive camp ever for 1 person with power. This massive price increase cannot be justified

Not the top standard camp site, but meet all my requirements:clean, safe, friendly staff, free hot shower.

And kids attractive playground. $4 washing machine, $4 for 1 hour dryer. 15 minute drive to city center. Heaps of parking in city center. On street parking in city centre is $3.1 per hour plus 50 cents transaction fee.

This was the best holiday park we could find close to Christchurch.

At $34 it was reasonably priced.The toilets were clean and tidy although it was difficult getting good hot water. We were parked in a very open area with no privacy. Permanent residents had lovely pitches.

We rate this place the best in the Christchurch area, and we have stayed at most of the others.

It has large comfortable pitches many of which are really private and pleasant and above all it is peaceful and quiet. Many of the others are on busy roads or too close to the airport. Owners are new and friendly and really making lots of improvements. Toilets are middling but well cleaned but the kitchen is very well equipped. Only downside is the Wi-Fi which is dead slow but they are promising to sort it soon. Close to the beach and has a regular bus into the city from outside the gate. We love the place!

Clean and nice bathrooms with good hot shower!

Nice kitchen, big grounds, everything really nice here! Price for that is totally ok and the wifi worked fell good, not like the other reviews say...

$20 for 1 person in a non powred site.

$4 wash $2 dry (you'll need to do it twice) The WiFi ruined it for me. That's more important than they think, they gave me 1G free but parked me too far away to get it. And I got permanently locked out when I went closer. The WiFi is useless. Facilities are old but clean..
