Wonderful peaceful campground, lots of open grassy space.
Clean, flushing toilets. Running water tap in sink, though water is non-potable. Can hear the stream bubbling and the stars are amazing. There were only two other campers when I stayed. My first DOC campsite and I loved it.

Our first DOC campsite in NZ.
Wonderful outlook towards the mountains. Lots of campsites. Clean flush toilets. Lots of nice walks and close to Geraldine for supermarket and internet. Beautiful river and rapids.

This was our first campground and it was pretty hard to beat.
It was so quiet, clean and in a fab setting. No showers or power but that didn’t matter

Big camping area.
Quiet. Lovely spot next to a river. just toilets and sinks. Very basic but was free when I got there. Stayed 1 night with tent. Good accessible by gravel road (fine for driving on it, also with bigger vehicles).

Our first camp out of Christchurch.
Lots of room to camp with clean, flushing toilets. We had a great time exploring the river and the drive in, though a little long, was through beautiful countryside,so worth it. Definitely recommend.

This was a beautiful campground, it was a bit of a drive out of town but worth it.
Huge camping area, we were the only ones there when we stayed. Beautiful stream that you can camp near. Clean, flushing toilets on each end of the campsite. We would definitely visit again.

Very helpful, chatty lady host.
Chose a nice spot for us with a view. Proper flush toilet was clean. Grassy areas and some have space for camp fire.

Yey! Finally a campsite which offers fire making options!
We were so happy! Untill the rain began to fall... Nevertheless the campsite is well taken care of and has an fine toilet site. Good place to stay overnight.

Beautiful views, we especially loved how peaceful it was, I think there was only one other camper on the entire site!
Easy self registration $8per person. Cool that there are fire pits which help to keep the sandflies away!

Beautiful spot by the river.
Very friendly caretaker. Toilets flush and clean. Great spot for a night or two and close to town.

3.5/5
We paid $16 for two people in an unpowered campervan site.
This is a big grassy area with nice views and very basic facilities, though the toilets do flush. Sand flies were present and annoying here. The spot seems to be in the middle of nowhere, so I wouldn't recommend driving far out of your way for it, but if you're in the area this a fine spot to spend the night! Good value overall.

The best camping site we have experienced throughout our two week holiday.
Amazing scenery!

Beautiful campsite with the river beside it!
No facilities though there were some toilets, but they didn't work. Only water that you have to boil before drinking. So if you don't need all that, the site is amazing!

3.0/5
Lots of sandflies, facilities were okay but not very clean.
It's cheap, so that was good, but very basic campsite.

Just as described, peaceful countryside with sheep and stream.
Loos clean. Exactly what we needed and much nicer than being in Geraldine itself.
