Stayed 2days in a caravan on a powered site..$10 per person.
Large grassy area, lots of shady trees. Nice for a camping stay, day out, picnic or walks through the bush to the river. Haven’t used the facilities being self contained in our caravan. Dump station & rubbish bins handy. Quiet & safe, some people staying are permanents.

Clean warm showers, toilets, a kitchen sink with hot water dispenser, plenty of space on the campsite and a dump station.
You can hear some cars on the nearby roads but at $7.50 for an unpowered site this is the best value campground I’ve stayed in while travelling.

Nice grassy campsite with lots of shade from a lot of trees.
10$ per night and WITH power. Couldn‘t believe it. You pay on the little house when you ger through the gate to the domain. Not far from town center with some shops and food options. Fresh water and dump station. There is a small house with two separate free hot showers that get cleaned apparently every day. Lots of clean toiltets as well. Small kitchen room with a hot water boiler and a sink to do your dishes.
I think it gets used at night by some people with no home, but they were very polite and I felt safe no matter and I was a solo traveling female. 7,50$ with no power btw.

Delightful!
Charming, quiet site set amongst forest next to the cemetery - so no problems with noisy neighbours! - Two unisex hot showers with soap provided, and powered stands for $10 pppn. with an honesty system of payment for out of hours. Excellent childrens play area and well maintained toilets. Excellent value for money.

Great little spot for tents, vans, campers, etc next to a graveyard, dogs allowed, cash required for payment (which was a pain for me as I didn't have any on me, hence the 9 instead of 10 review), powered
and unpowered sites, 2 shower rooms, toilets, hot water and kitchen sink area for washing up, dump site for motorhomes, playground not far for kids, quiet. Highly recomend

Cheap, clean and well kept.
Pitch up, pay in the postbox at the gate and find a spot. Something else than the holliday parks. Close enough to Palmerson North City Centre and very close to the hiking trails, next to a cemetery if thats not your thing. Will recommend.
