I had to pay 50 or 60 dollar one person with tent, unpowered, on the other campings.
I arrived here for a normal price and I am very happy with this quiet, nice camping.

We have just left Fiordland GREAT VIEWS Camping site and whilst we found the owner welcoming and the site beautifully kept, clean and very pretty we cannot give 10 stars because we felt totally hemmed
Inn. The site is situated off a straight stretch of the main highway with traffic travelling at fast speeds and using this road without footpaths is the only way to get anywhere. It is a shame that there is wire fencing between the campsite and ground where trees have been felled, from here you get a tiny glimpse of the lake but certainly not a GREAT VIEW.. I did go to reception to ask of there was a track but reception was closed, just a bell and note saying that if there was no reply after 2 minutes to phone a number. Seemed like a lot of trouble to bother the owner for so we abandoned our plans and stayed in the RV. I'd recommend tis place for a stopover but not somewhere to use as a base for doing much on foot I'm afraid. Only place we've found with a hanwashing sink next to the dump station though.

Very unwelcoming vibe.
Reception is closed so we had to press the button or call the number, owner stays right beside the property. Toilets are clean but feels a little scary. We used the kitchen, but half of the stove isn't working, minimal kitchen utensil was provided (only pan and pots). The boiling hot water machine is not functioning as well so you have to boil your own water. Theres laundry but without detergent and change machine (we tried to ask receptionist for change but she refused and asked us to drive down the road for change).

Fantastic place to stay.
Private hedged areas to park and beautiful facilities. Dog friendly too. We normally avoid holiday parks but this one is outstanding. Fully secure with a swipe card too.

We travel all over NZ in our motorhome, I would rate this camp as our favorite, the toilets, showers, kitchen etc are spotless,the owners are friendly and helpful, next time we are back in Te Anau this
is where we will be staying.

44$ for unpowered site is quite a lot, but still the cheapest we found in turistic Te Anau.
Facilities were very good and clean, views nice and owners fair. I just hate those 250Mb internet thing (not refreshing every 24hours), it's just not enough nowadays!

After travelling around the South Island this is the best camping ground.
Wonderful sheltered camp sites with very good facilities and amenities. Very clean and tidy. The management were very friendly and helpful. I recommend this camp ground to all travellers.

Quiet and clean campsite but missing the welcoming vibe of many other places we've stayed in.
We had a very poor customer experience when leaving as we were filling up water at the adjoining site (we had used the dump site and then reversed into our adjoing site to fill up the water tank). The owners directed us very rudely to use the tap at the dump site, apparently there was a fresh water tap (not marked). We argued that we were concerned filing up at the dump site and preferred to continue to fill up where we were (what are the water taps on the camping grounds after all??). Owner told us that water is recommended to be boiled (again not signposted) and we shouldn't park on the adjoining site because there are water tanks underneath?? (No signage) Owners were very rude and we were extremely disappointed by the experience. We'd had a much better experience at The Gateway in the town centre the night before, wish we would have kept driving on our return journey from Milford Sound and stayed there again. Also as others have said in their comments, it's cash only, so beware.

5 persons x 23NZD = 115NZD.
ONLY CASH.
You will get 250MB together. 50MB each. Hello. We are living year 2019.
It feels you come year 1995 in Finland, when coming this kind of camping sites in NZ.

Called to make a booking and all was well.
No need to pay just turn up and we’ll do it then. Turned up and needed cash, lucky to have enough as they didn’t tell us they wouldn’t take cards.
Rules on just about everything, posted everywhere.
You can borrow stuff for cooking, at a cost. Some needed a deposit but having used all our cash we did with what we had.
There are two toilet/shower blocks. One is great the other is not great at all. Found this out after having a cold “pits and bits” wash. Explains why the reviews are so mixed!
Did I mention the rules... Long list supplied when you pay for your site and individual rules posted throughout... the atmosphere is pretty uptight.

A little pricey for what you get, view from dining room is great, but unpowered tent sites have no view and it’s $44 for two people and a tent.
Facilities are fine, nice bathroom.
-
4.5/5
Great campsite, so organised, best shower block we have had in NZ.
Very orderly kitchen with some cooking utensils. We had a tent. The sites for the tents were nicely mapped out and private.
And yes, you have to pay cash.
Info : the campsite/reception is closed between 12 & 2pm. So plan your arrival around that. (We had to wait outside the campsite for opening time.)

Lovely clean holiday park, large caravan sites, excellent toilet and shower facilities, kitchen and laundry spotless.
Very friendly, helpful hosts. Certainly recommend.
-
2.0/5
No views - though you would expect from the name.
Charging is prohibited in the kitchen, allowed in the internet room, which closes at 10pm. Cooking utensils can be borrowed free of charge, but caution is needed. Gas grills paid by use time. Fridge in the kitchen is broken (freezer works). Payment by cash only. Noise from the road. On the plus side - very nice isolated tent locations, good showers for free with hair driers.
-
4.0/5
Great campsite, very clean with heated bathrooms :O.
You don’t enjoy the view everywhere but there are tables to eat with the view so it works too. Camp hosts are not overwhelmingly welcoming but it wasn’t the end of the world.
-
4.0/5
Good kitchen with a few hobs and ovens.
Eating area inside and out. BBQs to hire. Washing & drying room, although seemed to get very busy! Lovely warm showers (free) and toilet room with hairdryers. Perhaps a tad on the pricey side and the staff were rather grumpy.

Clean and tidy place, reception personnel however lacks something to be desired- when checking in we asked if we could get place no.13 since it had a beautiful view (which the campsite advertises with
). The lady at the reception desk declined pointing out that there was already someone on the 12 and she didn't want them to be disturbed - even though the slots are divided by thick hedgerows - and then giving us a place somewhere in the backyard without any view at all. There was someone at the other side on slot 11 though. Then I wanted to take the registration number of our campervan down (which we unfortunately didn't know by heart) and walked to the door from where I could see the car. My putting the registration sheet to the wall so I could write the number down caused a sharp "Don't write on the wall!!! It is only four digits so you should be able to memorize them and write them down at the desk" from the lady. So far, so good! Eventually my credit card got declined when we proceeded to payment. I asked if we could try again but she declined saying that she allegedly wasn't allowed to give it another try if the card had been declined once (never heard of) and so I now needed to pay in cash. Wouldn't stay here again if it could be avoided...

I think that the other reviews are on the harsher side.
18pp non powered site. Yes the owners aren’t over the top happy but they are nice enough and the campsite itself is beautiful, tastefully decorated and very clean. The bathrooms are gorgeous (look like spa ones) with a hairdryer by every sink and heated. Plenty of showers and free unlike some campsites which are coin operated. There is limited amount of kitchen utensils but they provide you with cutlery etc. if you ask and if you are in a camper it’s not like you don’t have your own stuff anyway?! Pretty site especially in spring with all the blossom.

4.5/5
Nice holiday park just a few minutes outside the city.
The views weren't great because of the tall hedges, but each space was pretty private and nicely kept. We didn't use the kitchen. But the showers and bathroom near the camper van sites were amazing. Lots of stalls, heating, natural light, clean and hairdryers at every sink.
-
2.5/5
Can't recommend it at all.
Very unwelcoming atmosphere. Yes the facilities are ok, but you are not allowed to charge mobile phones or cameras (which is just ridiculous) and for example for the use of the drying room you have to pay extra 5 dollars. In general they make you pay for everything... and 20 dollars is just too much for what you get. One if the worst places we have been to.
-
3.5/5
Incredible bathroom facilities!!
Heated bathroom, lots of hairdryers. $20 a person for an unpowered site felt a bit steep however. Especially as we didn't get a view, and neither did our friends on their powered site.
-
2.5/5
Didn't like this place.
Grumpy owner. Instructions all over the place, telling you what to pay for the rent of a pan or a knife! Toilets and shower okay but nasty atmosphere.

Have to admit that the other reviews are fair comments on this campsite.
We were dealt with by a very tacturn man who made us feel like we had inconvenienced him. And I did have to raise my eyebrows at his statement that they only dealt with cash and had no eftpos or credit card facilities. He also suggested that if we didn't have enough we could drive into Te Anau and get some out. Really wonder how that works for them in this electronic cashless world! And where does all that cash go????
In saying that the tent sites were good, flat, grassy individual bays and the toilet facilities were very luxurious.
Cost us $40 cash for a non powered tent site.
Beware of the road noise which starts early as the site is on the main road to Milford.

1.5/5
The very basic utilities they offer are fancy and clean for the high price they ask for ($20 pp).
Charging is not allowed anywhere but leaving the phone at the reception, and that is only until the reception closes at 21:00. Not like other places, the kitchen did not have basic kitchen utilities and tools such as bowls, plates, spoons, etc.
Showers were clean and free for guests. Other utilities were extra charge. Overall staff wasn't very friendly nor helpful.
-
4.5/5
Cleanest showers of the trip which was nice!
Good facilities. Good kitchen - you can borrow pots/pans if required. You have to pay to use the BBQ. You can charge things but only if you leave them in reception! Individuals plots which was nice.

Our favourite campsite from our entire trip around South Island.
Fantastic location with easily accessible walks around the lake. Also the best bathrooms we came across by a mile, they even had hairdryers!
