4.5/5
Compared to Queenstown good price and big lots.
The showers are free off season. 1 GB Wifi per person. There isn't really a TV room, just a kitchen with a telli. The kitchen itself is very spacious and well equipped. The laundry is a little expensive for 6$ wash and 6$ dryer, but is card operated, which is nice if you don't have coins. There is a supermarket in walking distance.

Nice campsite.
Multiple showers and toilets. Sites quite close together. Easy check in process. But felt quite over-priced for what there was.

This is a larger camping ground and felt busy even off season.
New communal facilities were very clean but I imagine are in constant use over the high seasons. Walking distance to Arrowtown . Free wifi . Free showers although this is unlikely to remain as signs to pay were covered up. Dump Station and water on site. $45 for 2 in a van on a powered site is the most we've paid.

Quite a big park with 1 block of facilities.
All new and clean. Location quiet. 10 minute walk to Arrowtown. $45 for powered site for 2 adults. Close to the river trails for walking or biking.

0.5/5
Very overpriced for what you actually get.
$60ish for a powered site for 3 adults. Have to pay for wifi & showers (hot water). The tone of the 'rules' you need to stand by is quite abrupt in comparison to other sites. Quite busy in winter so would definitely consider booking if coming at a busier time.

We visited off season so it was quiet and the showers were free although normally $1.
$69 for 2 adults 2 kids is the most we’ve paid on our trip, can imagine if it was busy you would be very crammed in on the sites. Facilities are clean, tidy and standard. Beautiful view.

Loved this campsite!!
What beautiful scenery to wake up to!!
Nice clean kitchen, warm bathroom facility, first campground that offered us a key for the family bathroom, made it so much easier!!!!
Walking distance to town, we had dinner at the fork and tap (delicious). Beautiful town with lots of little walkways/alleys!
Sites are pretty close together but it didn’t bother us and Park seems to be shared with the local domain/rugby club which didn’t bother the little dude at all, his main concern was lack of a slide.
FYI - showers did not cost, that seems to be a bit of a thread in other reviews...

Stayed here 2 nights on our way out of NZ.
Beautiful picturesque spot surrounded by mountains and walking distance to shops. Facilities are A1 , great clean free hot water showers and you get small amount of wifi free plus option to purchase at reasonable price. Nice and quiet. Lovely last 2 days here. Would recommend. Preferred this to busyness of Queenstown.
Neroli,
Thankyou, great to here you enjoyed your experience in the Holiday Park and your last 2 days in NZ.

Small sites, have to pay for showers.
Pretty disappointing experience, but the campsite is tidy
HI Melanie,
Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience at the Holiday Park.
Paying for the showers, reason being the showers are on a timer so everyone gets to have showers and they are not
held you by just a few.

Rankers realy works.
They have free showers now!
Not tried the cooker but the kitchen was clean and lots of hot water.
The pitch is small but acceptable. Paid $49 for 2 people on a powered site and staff are friendly. Left before 10am!
A 10 mins walk into towm is a must and the Chinese village is amazing.

WATCH OUT THEY RIPP YOU OFF WHEN YOU LEAVE AFTER 10 O’CLOCK!!!
YOU WILL PAY 20 DOLLAR FINE!
We stayed last night at Arrowtown Holiday Park for 1 night. We left this morning just before 11 o’clock.
We wanted to leave earlier but there was a long line with campers and vans waiting to go out. ( it was 10.06 at that moment ) Probably a lot of more tourists and kiwi’s were ripped off! ( just as us )
So we took our time because of the line with campers.
When we tried the code at the gate we couldn’t leave because our code didn’t work??
I went inside and a young lady told me that I was too late and if I want to have another code I must pay 20 nz dollar. I think its ridiculous THEY DID NOT WARN US by our check in.
We were unaware from the fine. It would be FAIR/NORMAL if they told us immediately by check in, they only told us check out time is 10 o’clock.
I was so angry and wanted to call the police because this isn’t honest!! But I kept my mouth shot.
We are traveling in NZ since 8th of December and often we left our camping an half hour or an hour later. It’s a rip off, a shame that they are such greedy camping owners. This camping place isn’t cheap, also we paid for the showers.
Not as nice as the Top 10 Holiday Campings we normally stay!
DON’T STAY HERE!

Expensive for what you get.
We paid 45 dollar for 2 persons and a tent. Showers are 1 dollar. Cold washingmachine 30 minute program is 4 dollar! No free Wifi. Even the BBQ needs a 2 dollar coin
Overpriced Four Square supermarket in walking distance .
Facilities are clean.

We arrived late and information were left on the door to know which spaces were available, quite convenient.
Facilities were clean.
But the overall feeling is that spaces are too small and its overcrowded (in relation to the price as well).

1.0/5
Too many people.
Seemed to us they were trying to cram as many people as they could onto the site making the whole experience not very pleasant. Facilities couldn't cope - there was a queue of people waiting to use the washing machines/dryers. Kitchen was also too small for the numbers and not well equipped. Only camp site we stayed at on our road trip where we had to pay for a shower. Male owner/manager walked into womens showers un-announced whist wife and daughter were in there and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with that.
Town was 10-15 min walk away which was ok and a bus stop right outside the camp serviced Queenstown very well and only cost $2 each way. I personally wouldnt recommend it and wont be staying there again

2.5/5
The staff is very friendly but can't compensate the site's shortcomings.
About half the heating spaces in the kitchen area were not working which lead to longer waiting time.
The dryer did less than half of its job so better get two of the tokens. Had to improvise as the office was closed and the clothes were wet.
Also shower experience was suboptimal. Machine was blocked by a coin so I couldn't get hot water.
I think it's better in off season, though.

Clean, quiet and a pleasant short stroll to town.
Paid Wi-Fi only. The facilities were always clean and warm which is a plus

2.5/5
Very pretty place, walking distance to town and friendly staff.
Showers were $1 for 6 minutes however it was freezing cold for the first few minutes which really limits the shower. We had snow when we were there and unfortunately to get to the showers we had to go down a grassy hill that was extremely slippery and it was a huge walk to go around.

$45 for a powered site (2 persons).
Basic holiday park. No free wifi. No time limit for hot shower due to off-peak season.

Perfectly situated for walking into old town.
Lots of long term caravanners on site. Have to pay for showers and Wi-fi. Free Wi-fi in town and New Orleans bar. Barbecue was broken. Didn’t use small kitchen. Not our favourite site but ok for 1 eve spent in old town.

3.0/5
Clean facilities, camp site was not close to anything else in the town to walk to.
Lots of people it seemed the night we were there so it was somewhat crowded in the kitchen. Pay showers
-
1.0/5
The camp grounds facilities are basically okay, although not for a price of $40 for two persons on an unpowered camp site.
WiFi costs extra, hot showers cost extra. The kitchen doesn't offer much more than what you really need and you cannot use it after 10pm anyway.
All this would still be okay if at least the staff would be friendly. While we sorted our equipment in (we had to bring all our dishes, cutlery, etc. from our car since nothing was provided - also our camp site was a few hundred metres away from the kitchen), a staff member asked us to leave immediately or we would have to pay for another night. He didn't listen, when we told him that we were just packing up and would leave in 5 minutes anyway.
In conclusion this is the worst camp ground in value and at the same time the most expensive one we have been on so far.

The location is nice - Arrowton.
However, it is far overpriced for the offered facilities, and charges are not justified. Hot water is available abundantly in the toilets, but the shower charges $1 for hot water - just add 1 to the price, this is not based on energy savings...
Kitchen area closes at 10pm - forces people to wash dishes in the toilet and make noise at there sites after 10pm, instead of using the kitchen. Overall - it could be a good camping, but the policies are beyond any reason.

4.5/5
Paid $40 for 2 pax for a powered site and $5 for 1GB wifi.
It is not crowded during our travel in August. If it is, it would be quite a cramped site area. Decent kitchen and amazing toilet facilities. Unlimited hot showers and there is a hair dryer. Very modern toilet block. Pleased with stay.

Overpriced, have to pay $40 just to pitch a tent and then have to pay for showers.
Kitchen was overcrowded. Ground was very hard. Definitely not worth the money!
