5.0/5
Denis is the owner, probably one of the best people you’ll have the experience meeting in nz!
$36 for an unpowered site, $39.50 for powered. we arrived after business hours and he said no worries, came down to the camp and got us a site. 10:30 check out but he is not strict if you leave later.
Great showers, kitchen etc. few long term stayers, but friendly people. Denis is great with recommendations of what to do while in the South Island.
10/10!

Some the facilities may be a little older but they are immaculately maintained.
Denis is the friendliest most welcoming camp ground owner it has been my pleasure to meet. I would give him 12 out of 10. He went out of his way for us as it would appear he does for everyone. Quite and relaxed

This is one of the best places we have stayed on the South Island.
The sites are nothing special but the facilities are excellent. Nice clean showers a large incredibly well equipped kitchen and a very reasonably priced laundry which is open 24/7. The host who is the owner is very helpful and quite friendly. The city water supply is however not very tasty so I would not suggest filling your tank.

Under new ownership.
Anete and Den have made this site special: it is spotlessly clean, the kitchen is fully equipped and the social area is comfortable. Hot showers and internet are free and internet has a strong signal throughout the site. But best of all is their warm welcome and local knowledge. Stay here if you can

$50, 2 adults & 2 children (7 & 3 year old) in a powered site.
We stayed in August. Very friendly place, very good and spotless facilities (kitchen, bathroom, showers, laundry room). Free hot showers but then you freeze.
