Lovely place!
Nestled on the edge of the forest so stunning surroundings. Stayed 1 night in non powered site- quiet and enjoyable. Owners friendly & helpful- helped me out with some milk as dairy had shut. Older facilities, but very clean and all you need is there.

Great dinner at the Royal Hotel on a chilly damp
Not many people staying - you need to pay for showers but the owner have us enough coins. The rabbits on the lawn in the middle of the night were a surprise in the moonlight ! The place is a bit old but adequate even in winter.

This is a great site up in the forest.
It feels like a site in Scandinavia or perhaps the Harz Mountains in Germany or even Yosemite in the US. Outside of the main school holidays and weekends it is quiet and delightful whilst at busier times families will love it. New owners in the last couple of years have made lots of improvements and are friendly and obliging. Many of the tatty old empty vans are removed to a storeage area so everyone else can enjoy the place. There is a nearby swimming lake and it's a 10 min walk into the cute village of Naseby and the great Royal Hotel that serves good food and beer. A real gem of a site.

This was the perfect campground for our family of 7.
The kids had a blast riding their bikes, exploring the forest, swimming and playing in the playground. I we will definitely be coming back. We all loved it. And an awesome area to explore.

Friendly reception despite us arriving late.
Bathrooms basic and clean. Need to pay for shower. Family orientated park with many kids around. Lovely small town a short walk away.
No where to charge phones legitimately. Plugs signed as such.

Lovely quiet campground set amongst forest - it's quite big and I can imagine busier during summer months.
There were only two other guests when we stayed. The kitchen is new and well appointed with a logburner and chairs to relax at night. Bathroom block is older but clean - hot showers ($1 for 7 mins). $36 for a powered site (great value). Laundry facilities also. Close by you have the mountainbike track (great for walking the dogs) as well as off lead exercise area down in the village. Trampoline and playground for kids as well plus we are told that there is a swimming dam in summer. The campground allows well behaved pets, our two dogs were very excited by the many rabbits hopping around. Highly recommend trying the chocolate brownie at the Black Forest Cafe. A hidden gem in Central Otago. Well worth a visit.

Only a few campers mid week so quiet and peaceful.
A long weekend that we didn’t realise meant the camp filled up with families and dogs. Either didn’t present any issues as camp has a family feel. Good kitchen although we didn’t need to use it. Showers a bit tired but clean and no issues in one being available

facilities were great however the man who operates the camp needs some hosting skills, wasnt very welcoming and all our group of 16 felt him to be boarding on rude.
Later found out from other people who stayed there in April they felt the same.
Hi, just seen this. Sorry if I have been less than welcoming. I have not had this issue before. If anyone of our guests has issues with the park I hope they feel they can come to reception and talk to either my wife Tracy or I Matthew. As far as I am aware we have hundreds of guests through the park every year and all have a good time. Once again sorry if your stay less then welcoming. Matthew.

Great campsite amongst the trees.
Only stayed one night as we were passing through but will definitely be back with our bikes. Naseby is a lovely little village with good facilities. $26 for two adults in an unpowered tent site. $1 for 7 mins hot shower.

A pretty nice spot in the middle of a forest.
But was a bit old. Lots of on-site caravans for locals who spent the summer there, but very quiet when we were there. The campsite is for sale, and has been for many years, so it seems like the owners don't really bother to keep the place up to date. We didn't like the cost of $1 to take a shower - they should just as the cost to the site-price. We paid $38 for 2 adults and one child (3 years old). Also don't count on the dam for a swim. When we were there on the 15th December it had no water in it. Call and check before booking. It was nice with all the wild rabbits on the site. Great Walt I Naseby forest. But it has no signs so bring a GPS to find your way.

Arrived in pouring rain to friendly welcome and grassy park up area surrounded by trees.
Only a few tents across from our caravan so was reasonably quiet (it bucket end down anyway so not a night for sitting out!) looks like the campground backs onto Naseby Forest which has lots of MTB and walking trails, unfortunately we couldn't get out because of the rain. Can't comment on facilities as we didn't use them but everything else was good.

To take a break from tent-living, we stayed in a little cabin here - cheap and warm with a comfy bed (you need to bring your own duvet or rent one).
Cheap & nice. Sure, you have to pay for the showers but add the $1 to the room charge, it's still cheap. Nice location, good facilities.

Fantastic campground for family holidays, especially if you have mountainbikes with you as Naseby has tracks for all the family.
The swimming dam is a great way to cool off. The only thing that bugs me here is having to pay for the showers on top of the camping fee and you are not notified of this when you check in. 2A and 2C cost $42 for a tent site.

A nice camping ground in a forest with a nearby lake.
Only thing we didn't like about that camping ground was the shower-fee.
