5.0/5
Great campground, quiet, super clean, with all the commodities, and, above all, very friendly.
I felt like at home, nothing to do with the holiday parks I usually go to. And incredibly cheap (I was nearly embarrassed !). The origin of this non-profit campground is explained on the site.

4.5/5
Truly unique.
If you would like a tea party with three miniature horses this is the perfect spot. Very middle of nowhere, no Wi-Fi no reception, but very nice kids playground. Also walking distance to the hotel/pub which is a fantastic place to visit. I would recommend the whangamomona dark ale.

Sept 19: A great camping ground in a great spot.
Be aware that they take cash only! We found this out late but to their credit, both the owner and the lady at the local hotel were both very helpful indeed in making sure that it wasn't a problem. There are pony's, chickens, and ducks roaming the place and there's a nice small playground for little ones as well. Toilets and showers are clean with great power and hot water much appreciated!! The owner also told us they are non-profit with the money going to the local school so just another reason to stay here. The local pub also does great food, so worth a visit.

This place definitely has its magic and we can only recommend visiting.
For $10 pp you get unpowered site and quite nice toilets and showers. Powered site for $15. At the top of that Whangamomona is actually an "independent republic" with a nice hotel serving local beer in the middle of beautiful Forgotten World Highway.

Really nice campsite with quirky decor and collectibles lying about the place.
Fantastic showers! there was a little group of chickens wandering around too which were very cute. Nice owner, cheap to pitch a tent. Nicely mowed lawns and pleasant views of the surrounding hills.

+ Can't miss the check-in where the owner lives.
Didn't book upfront, no problem. His livingquarter is a sight to see. Curious chickens, a duck and 2 pony's were our fellow campusers, next to (plenty room) a few other campervans and tents. Showers (hot) are in an old barn (like!) and clean, so are the (real) toilets. Small little kitchen with microwave. And indeed a quick walk into the little town, which is a sight due to her history. Nice food and beautiful old historical pictures at the hotel there. Campsite surrounded by hillsides. We did a late checkout, no one complained. P.s. Campsite also has a swing/slide/playhouse for kids, but no kids when we visit ;)
- When raining the grass stays a bit soggy.
- Dust-spiderwebs at facilities.

$10 per person for a non-powered site.
We arrived in the dark and found it hard to locate reception/staff. All facilities are there, just basic and dated.

Small and isolated.
We stayed in July for just one night and we were the only people there, apart from the owner who didn't seem that friendly. Facilities weren't that great or clean. On the plus side it was only $20 for a powered site. The pub down the road was really good. We met some great people in there!

A great site in the Independent Republic of Whangamomona, run by, and in behalf of, the local community.
Everything you need is there, albeit in the old school buildings, and it's around 300 metres walk down to the Hotel, for great food, beer, and good company. A "must stop" on the Forgotten World Highway.

A lovely secluded place to stay.
We were greeted by chickens and tiny ponies. The guy running it has a quirky sense of humour - check out the "gym". He was on hand should we have needed anything. The facilities were spotless and showers included in the price. A little expensive at $15 pp for a powered site, but given the overnight temp, we were glad to have heating. Would certainly stay here again.

Nice campground with a personal touch and kids playground, $15 for a non-powered spot per vehicle/night.
Facilities (toilets, shower, little kitchen) are old, but were clean as we stayed there. Can't say that the owner was unfriendly. He just seems to be a typical NZ bloke living in the countryside, a little rough and likes to do his own thing, but otherwise friendly.

Very old campsite.
not very clean facilities, Low price$20 for Powered site 2 pers. A very nice pub in the village Its the heart of the Repubic of Whangamomona. They give you a visa and a stamp in your pasport for $3. And they have her own very good tasted special beer. Its fun to be there
