Such lovely people running the place - we arrived and weren’t sure where to pay, but two separate people pointed us in the right direction, as well as wanted to have long chats.
Really cheap for unpowered site (cash only, but the garage up the road did cash back if your caught short). Toilets basic, showers basic looking but actually some of the best I’ve had in NZ! Would stay again.

Great place!
The people managing the place are very friendly, as are all the other people that stay there more long-term! Had a very good time with them, they are very welcoming and kind.
Cheap to stay at as well, I had 12 dollars pppn for an unpowered site and stayed there for a month while I workrd. Plenty of room and all the facilities you need which are kept tidy. Kitchen has pots, pans and utensils, microwave, fridge and an oven. Showers are included (but we are asked to keep the time low) and the toilets are very clean.
Overall a fantastic place and I will definitely visit again sometime to reunite with the amazing peeps there.

Great campsite, not modern or flash but they have all the facilities of a site charging five times the price and other than $3 to use the washing machine there are no other charges.
Large site with plenty of room and only 9km from Geraldine. Manager’s wife, Mrs Ryan, is super friendly and helpful.

Very basic facilities, but excellent value given the super cheap rates (about $12 per site, per night, from memory).
Good supply of hot water to the showers :) and excellent chats with the lovely owners. Highly recommended for cheap no frills accommodation!

AMAZING !
Free hot shower, nice little kitchen where you understand the local history.
Plenty of spaces !! Better than some camping who charge you 12$ PER PERSON !
