    Minimum cost is $46 per night for single or double occupancy.

    Other residents are super close and I felt like I was being watched the whole time. Little shower room with toilet was clean and tidy but came here because Rankers said it was $21 per night and I wanted somewhere where I could shower, weird with the neighbours looking in at the site and shower house.

    Life lesson I guess.

    02Oct18.

    One night stay. The only place we have seen with individual bathrooms per pitch! A little shed with flushing toilet, basin, shower and hot water. It only lacked a chair of bench.

    The kitchen looked good, although we didn’t use it. The laundry has 4 washers and 2 dryers and the cost is $2 each, the cheapest, and the dryer went on for about an hour!

    No WiFi.

    Close to the beach and there are shops and eateries along the road.

    Nice friendly lady on duty. I hope she gets a holiday herself soon.

    It’s not on this app but Southward Car Museum is quite close and is well worth a visit.

    There are high hedges that are supposed to give privacy between rows but it gives a feeling of old style.

    Many people actually live there in their campers/caravans giving an impression of a retirement home. Children’s playground needs ALOT of repair .......... don’t stay here!

    A lovely secluded camp, each caravan site has its own little unit consisting of a shower, toilet and handbasin, outside water and power supply and your own dump station, amazing, I've never seen that before

    . $40 for two adults, good price. Highly recommend it.

    Nice campground with lots of sites and close to the beach.

    Quite a few residents. Small, basic kitchen, which could be more centrally located. The private toilet is definitely a plus! Recommended.

    I'm sure it's really nice for those with caravans, but I found it disappointing for my stay in a tent.

    The sites were mess - dead grass in patches that made it lumpy to sleep on. Additionally, they charge everyone for a powered site even if you can't access the power (it's way too high to reach without an extension cord which you won't have unless you're in a campervan).

    There is zero privacy, despite what the ad says. You will have 3-4 sites staring into yours. I wouldn't mind so much, except that one of the permanent residents behaved really creepy towards me (young female traveling alone) so I didn't like that he had a direct view on my campsite whenever he liked.

    It's nice having a private bathroom, but it was not clean when I arrived and they don't clean it throughout your stay.

    On that note, the kitchen was dirty and the rubbish overflowing. It also lacked most of the basic cooking supplies (there were pans but no pots, no cutlery etc) and cleaning up supplies, so if you've forgotten something you're out of luck. It had two microwaves, both of which were broken and the labels on the stoves had worn off so you have to guess which hob is the right one and if it's on high or low. Even if everything was working, it is way too small. If there are more than two groups in the kitchen, you'll be bumping elbows the whole time.

    There was hardly any seating in the kitchen and no lounge or TV room which is annoying if it rains and you have nowhere to go.

    There was no recycling - everything was mixed together and presumably went to landfill.

    Positives are that it's very close to the beach, and there was a big playground which the kids of other guests seemed to enjoy.

    Overall, I'd say skip it unless you're bringing a campervan.

    Well organised camp ground in a nice beach-side suburb.

    Had a bit of trouble finding it (sign posting not the best) and office closing time is relatively early (6 or 6.30pm). Extremely nice and tidy, quiet despite being relatively full when we visited. Great beach nearby and there are boat trips to Kapiti Island.

    Close to perfection for campervans, tidy facilities, affordable laundry and friendly reception.

    Having your own shower/toilet hut still fascinates me. All this reasonably priced. Location is a little off, yet walking distance to the beach.

    Very interesting park.

    The park is located inside a housing area. I think it was there before. :). You have at your slot your own mini bath. Shower and toilet for you in 3 meter distance. Great idea. Very nice and funny owners. Really easy. The beach is in walking distance and is very nice. Over all a very good park and the money is ok. No Wifi in the back of the park, if you need it.

    Great experience.

    Owners were very genuine nice people. We had a fairly private lot but others were slightly more open. Private bathroom and shower on every site. Very reasonably priced. $15/per person.

    The campsite was tidy but different from all the others we stayed at.

    In a residential area however only a few minutes walk from the beach. Own little shower and toilet was brilliant.
