This is my favourite spot in Hanmer to pitch a tent for the night.
There are plenty of trees, a clothes line and nice facilities. You also get beautiful bird song in the mornings! The staff are friendly.

Do not get all the great reviews, really basic campsite.
Facilities far away from non powered sites. 32 dollars for 2 people in a non powered site and 5 dollars for 1 GB of wifi. Not impressed. Would not go back.

We managed to get the only powered spot, so top marks.
Everything was spotless when we arrived, sad to say the group of kids that came with their fathers did not respect the site and the mess in the morning was not good. Having said that it was quickly cleaned up and back to normal. We had sole use of one of the kitchen blocks, which is actually a big hut with kitchen, easy chairs. Dining tables and chairs and a TV. We even had a mild earth quake in the middle of the night. Easy access to forest walks / bike rides. All in all excellent.

Friendliest camp site of our month long stay in NZ.
Well equipped kitchen, including crockery, pots and pans etc. Great location in the middle of the woods and away from the busy centre of Hanmer Springs. Used for school camps during term time, so worth calling ahead to check if not during the holidays.
