Theo and Diane Curtis invite you to enjoy our peaceful park-like surroundings with landscaped terraces graduating down to the Waitaki River.
We are a short distance from the hydro lakes for boating and water sports. The Waitaki River and Lakes District is renowned for its excellent trout and salmon fishing.
We are an affordable family-orientated park and offer a safe swimming area and canoes for children. Your pets are also welcome by arrangement but please note that pets / dogs are not permitted inside cabins or communal areas.
Accommodation consists of tent sites, caravan/campervan powered sites, basic cabins, 2 tourist flats which are self-contained and a family tourist cabin sharing communal toilets and showers.
Our Lodge sleeps 33 people. There are three separate bunk rooms available which can be booked separately. The Lodge can be hired for private functions such as weddings, family dinners or reunions. One of its features is a large open fire to keep you warm in the winter months.
We cater for all groups whether you are a skiing, hunting, school, contracting or sporting group.

We found the kurow holiday park to be quiet, clean and friendly, we stayed for 3 nights, nice clean tiled showers and toilets nicely painted and fixtures.
The kitchen has everything needed. Good for bike riding next to Alps to Ocean trail, winerys and fishing.

You know the sort of people who go out of their way to be super nice! Gave me really good tips on where to go/things to do. Camping site walking distance from town restaurants. Kitchen/toilets super clean. Grounds nice with plenty of trees. Highlight is the lake.

Sehr großzügiger Campingplatz mit jüngst renovierten Dusch-/ WC-Räumen und sogar kostenloser Nutzung von Ruderboot, Kajak.
Anlage gerade für Kinder top, da Indoor (Sandkiste, Kicker, Billard, Airhockey, Puppenhaus...) und Outdoor-Spielplatz vorhanden. Inhaber sind extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr familiär. Gehört zur bisher besten Campingplatz-Erfahrung während unserer Reise.

Big Holiday Park in walking distance to the Waitaki river.
Stayed for one night and had a quite spot next to the Aquarium. Nice little lounge, good kitchen facilities (microwave, fridge, sinks..), little river beach. When you stay in a tent, you are likely to hear some noise from the road.

Well thought our holiday park which is beautifully maintained.
Lots of lovely trees and big sites. Views up into the hills and in the distance are gorgeous. Multiple amenities and they are clean and tidy and well maintained. The staff were friendly and the price is really reasonable.
Free kayak use and a lovely swimming area which is great for kids. A bonus too is that we could bring our four legged pooch. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful camping close to the river. The owners Theo and Diana are very friendly. Hospitality is their last name I think. They will help you as much as they can! We had a lovely time!
The facilties are okay: nice showers, big building for kitchen etc. We asked for the barbecue place and they delivered a barbecue for free!
We stood close to the river and from there.
Very friendly people in Kurow. We also did the walk to the lookout. Steep but worthy!

We came in on a winters day and because there weren't many guests we were allowed to use the lounge with TV, fire place, pool table, big kitchen and warm bathrooms and set our camper up right in front of it. Great on a cold day!
