Lots of space (especially compared to others in the area), beautiful and very peaceful, great vibe, hot shower, clean toilets.
Cheaper than other places as well (would put this in the $$ category not $$$). Stayed 2 nights, loved it!

We stayed for a few nights and loved it.
There is lots to do just on the grounds of the farm. Nice bush walks and a swimming hole, great for unwinding. Plus lots to do in the area if you want more adventure.
Definitely recommend for camping, great facilities, has everything you need. Would stay again.

So relaxing!
Really hospitable, looked after above and beyond. Great showers, everything needed in the kitchen area. Powered site was perfect, plenty of room so spread out in the sun on the grass. Glow worms were easy to find at night. Enjoyed a unique horse carriage ride. Also had some delicious fish and chips. The park is close to the walking trails into the national park. Definitely the place to stay!

Much the same as other reviews, this is a little strange if super quiet as campground is about 400m from reception.
Staff were brilliant and helpful though. Booked our trip into the NP and we kept our van parked at the office for the day. WiFi was good. Facilities were good too. Open shower/toilet block so a bit cold but showers were powerful and hot so can’t complain. Laundry facilities were good and kitchen. Beautiful clear sky and quiet night with wildlife. Big pitches with some hedging between spots. Recommend!

Spacious farm ground, which had excellelent amenities.
Clean and well kept shower and kitchen blocks. Was a much needed hot and powerful shower after our walk. Only downside was paid WiFi...

Located right next to the abel tasman with clean facilities and free hot showers. The chickens around are cute and the lovely arranged plants give you some privacy. 200 MB Internet free, 10 GB (!) more just 5 dollars...

Facilities are basic for the price. And the Campervan park was a little far from main office. I found it expensive for what it offer, buy is ok.

I wouldn't recommend this campground.
It is way to expensive for what it is.
You may have clean toilets but I have seen some better showers on camping arias witch weren't that expensive. They don't have the offer of free wifi anymore, you can buy wifi but the MB dissapears way to fast so in the end you pay 2$ for 10 minutes wifi! You can also wash your clothes here but only with cold water and the dryer wont make your cloths very dry. On top of it all, annoying chicken made our dinner uncomfortable. I love animals but this was to much, they ate from our plates and won't leave us alone.

Quite expensive however. Seems as if there are not so many toilets (in main season). We were stressed by a lot of chickens. They picked the bread of our plates and our baby's hand.

Spacious and well equipped.
A beautiful location, convenient for the gateway to the Abel Tasman track, and many of the water based activities. We didn't book in advance, but this had space when the other sites in the area didn't (because it's bigger).

Overpriced for what is offered.
There are too many people packed into a small space, all sharing the same toilets, which really smelled bad when we were there. It's a shame because the location is great and I like the farm feeling.

Clean and friendly site with ample and well stocked kitchen and bathrooms in the Bull Paddock area.
Great washer and driers. Stayed there pre and post the 4 nights on the Abel Tasman track. Parked in the free parking lot whilst we were away without any issue. Stores our food in the paddock fridge while away and it was as we left it in our return. A few hundred metres from the start of the Abel Tasman as well. Highly recommend a visit to Fat Tui’s for a burger after the track walk as well. Mmmmmm.
