    Very nice and friendly place.

    All rooms, shower, toilet, kitchen are very clean!

    It was a pleasure to spend 2 nights with wave sound in our tent!

    We got an unpowered site right across the little lane from the beach.

    Pretty much by ourselves. Needed a site with a shower and this one was immaculately clean and spacious. Owner was laid back and friendly. Really good amenities, kitchen, laundry etc.

    Tidy, clean and calm camp ground.

    Visited Waitangi weekend and the campground was full but didn’t feel it. Generous sized sites, clean facilities, bikes and scooter for the kids to ride(but confined to an area) 50m from the beach. Will definitely come back.

    Cute as a button!

    Amenities were retro but well functioning. Very thankful that they’re dog friendly. We found a sheltered spot from the wind for our van in the back lot. Quick drive (or good walk) to Moeraki boulders. Will stay again.

    Absolutely lovely spot, unpowered sites very near the beach.

    Powered sites beautifully laid out and set up. Excellent facilities and friendly staff. Only (extremely) minor complaint is the showers are pretty whimpy. Not a huge deal, but when you are longing for a shower, a little pressure is nice😊. Still 10/10 though!

    Great camping ground with all the amenities you need.

    Just be aware that the grounds for non powered vans is a bit lumpy and not level everywhere but the good thing is you can park with a great view of the beach.

    Very clean well maintained toilets, showers and kitchen. Bikes available for kids and a great park and even a skate half pipe.

    Sadly we arrived and there was dense fog! But we managed to still catch low tide to view the boulders which are a 2km walk away along the beach or 4 minutes drive. You just have to make sure you time it so that you’re back before the tide comes in if you’re walking.

    Good coffee at Vanessa’s Cafe just up the road and she opens at 6am and the place is warm and inviting with a great selection of in-house made pies and cabinet food.

    The best word to describe this experience: surreal!

    We pulled into to this campground based on decent reviews and I met with a very nice woman at the front desk (thus the “3”). As I wanted to get a little work done I asked about the Internet speed and she suggested we go “talk to Alex.” Terrible mistake. This wild looking disheveled man emerges from a cabin and the woman asks about the wifi speed. Alex responds by saying “fast enough, but you need to leave.” Shocked, I stated that I just wanted some idea. To which he responds “...you’ll never be happy, so just leave...” On the brink of speechless, I asked if he was serious and he he told me to go find some other park. Which I proceeded to do. Thankfully, Alex’s behavior was not indicative of other in the area we found a lovely couple running the Riverside Park just up the road. They couldn’t have been nicer and they had great WiFi to boot. Alex was either having a bad day or is certifiable. Beware.

    Hi Don

    Hope you gave the guys up the road a great review...because they deserve it. Great place.

    As for what you just wrote here...try sticking to the truth next time and don't get personal.

    Just because you were not happy with my answer (internet speed varies quite a bit here... speeds up to 15mb/s. So decent for us but apparently not good enough for you.) does not mean you have to start getting nasty and attack me personally in your review. I think this shows what kind of character you are - so no further comment on that. If internet is the most important thing for you - stay in a town where there is fibre available. We are a little holiday park in a beach reserve far from any city...

    ...and most of our guests come here to enjoy nature and to be right on the beach. It takes half an hour along the beach to walk to the Moeraki Boulders and 10 minutes drive to see the yellow-eyed penguins (free, donation appreciated). Great cafe, tavern, petrol station and supermarket 250m away. Full facilities.

    Just awesome I could go on for ages how great this place is.

    The owners are so helpful and real cool people

    And all the amenities are so clean and tidy.

    Safe for the kids and the beach is wicked.

    And the fish & chips at the top of the hill are the best you will come across.

    There is a Four Square shop up the hill as well that will have everything that you need.

    They even have bikes for the kids to ride around the camp

    Can’t wait to go back again.

    Real cool spot

    Clean tidy site with plenty of space, washing machine and tumble dry too.

    $17 for a non powered pitch. Kitchen facilities nice too with pots and other utensils. Short walk to the beach too. Only a few extra dollars for a lot more luxury.
