3.0/5
Very noisy camper van sites close to a busy road we felt as if we were parked beside a motorway.
The cabins looked nice and probably quieter. Across the road to the beach. Clean facilities with helpful manager. If you’re camping best find somewhere away from this road

With only a walk across the road to the beach, Ohope Christian Camp is conveniently placed, with beautiful water views.
The camp site has both cabins and tenting facilities both offered at the cheapest rate I have ever seen for a holiday camping ground. A very clean and cared-for toilet block with good pressured free showers. A joint kitchen, and hall with fun games and room for recreation.
The reason I have kept coming back to this spot (for the past ten years) is that it has a big emphasis on people. Weekly joint kiwi bbq's for the campers, talent quests, and because of the communal living, it is easy to make friends (and keep them because they all come back the next year!)
You also get the beach vibe, but can mix it up with a 20 minute drive to go berry picking at Julians Berry Farm, or the Awakeri Hot Pools. It's a 5 minute drive into Whakatane's city centre where there is movies, cafes and shopping. A 2 minute walk to the dairy, mini-golf, playground, and glow worm track. And a 5 minute walk in the other direction takes you to another dairy, tennis court, and a bigger playground.
And I cannot forget to mention that Ohope is/feels like a safe beach. No rampant currents or rips, and has a life guarded swim spot.
The perfect place for a group or family who wants a fun new adventure every day!

Managers very nice.
Big fully equipped kitchen and huge (maybe too big) eating area. Nice and hot showers, toilet facilities not the newest ones but totally okay. Washing machine and dryer (30 min) both 2 $. Main street between camp and beach side and you will definitely hear the traffic. Some short walks nearby and a beach where you can spend as much time as you want ;-)
Price: 12 $ pp (unpowered)

Brilliant value.
Lovely hosts. $24 powered site 2 adults. No charge for 3 yr old. Clean toilet and shower block, bit rustic but no extra charge or timed showers. Hot water washing machines!!! Right across from a nice beach which the littleun loved exploring as there were lots of nice shells!

This is not really a campingsite.
This is a Christian camp with some spots for tents and campervans. Also powered sites. There are toilets and hot showers and possibility for doing your dishes with hot water. Clean but old. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. We needed some information from the internet, and we could use the managers computer for free. The place is next to a road and we got disturbed be morning traffic.

Reasonable price, great value for what you pay for.
Big kitchen, lots of fridge space. Showers weren't timed nor do you have to pay extra for them. Nice rec room with a book swap, ping pong table, foosbal table and comfy couches.
Nice in that it was a site that was busy but didn't feel busy - plenty of space between you and your neighbours.
Beach is just across the street.
Must mention - there is a little pizzeria across the street that is amazing. So delicious. Grab a pizza (very reasonably priced!) and go eat it on the beach. Awesome way to spend an evening.
Great place to stay.
