Lovely site, friendly staff and right on the beach, but the water sports they advertise weren’t available.

No life guard in the beach lookout either - mid Feb. Coffee snack bar didn’t open. Shop not very well stocked. Good restaurant nearby - Fisherman’s Wharf.

Absolutely fantastic location.

Facilities are very well maintained and the staff were excellent. We had a dog so we replaced at the western end but given that the camp was virtually empty, it didn’t matter at all. Reasonably pricey but everything was provided. I am sure that in the Xmas-new year season, this camp would be packed to the limit and facilities would be stretched. Amazing beach and camp ground is literally 50 metres from the beach. Recommended but avoid the peak season !

Must be one of the best holiday parks in New Zealand!

Excellent well maintained and clean facilities. Fantastic location. We visited the park with our rental Maui motorhome and stayed 2 nights. Fantastic beach views from our motorhome. Will visit again.

It is a very very big holiday Park.

We paid 29 p/n each for a non powered site and because we were top 10 members. Totally overpriced for what it offers. We choose a holiday park because of facilities that are almost unexisting in this holiday Park. Blocks B and C have 8 showers each and 8 bathrooms, in the kitchen 4 benches and 4 stoves. Always full of people, even at some hours there are queues waiting to do the dishes, to take a shower.

Only a few tables to have dinner around the camp, the kitchen has none. So if you dont have your own is to eat stand up or in the floor.

The facilities are not clean, the showers have no water pressure.

If possible, find another holiday Park. We have travelled all around New Zealand and this was the worst one.

If I could submit a 0, I would!

Purchased a 2 night stay in a powered or non powered camping site from Grab one worth 68.00. Due to sickness with children could not make it. Rang and asked if the vouchers worth could be redeemed, not the deal itself as time had run out, Was told that due to high season change in rates I could not. Offered to pay high season rates if the money I had already spent be used in conjunction with a two day stay. Again 'no'. Most ETHICAL businesses that use Grab One still acknowledge the vouchers worth even if the deal has run out. You simply pay the balance, a form of credit you could say. I did not seek a refund only to use what I had already spent at the establishment and whatever the set rate was. The may just be within their legal rights to do this, but ethically I think it stinks. And so do my kids who were looking forward to going:( Thanks for nothing!

The Sand & Surf park also run by Ohope Beach Holiday Park also has site flooding issues that need to be addressed.

After the heavy downpours and high winds our site flooded ankle deep in water wetting everything. With two girls under 4 we were forced to take refuge in our vehicles till the storm subsided. Everything got completely soaked. No one from management showed any concern or came to our assistance when we contacted reception staff. This site and several others regularly flood and are not suitable for tenting, we later discover has had a caravan on the site for last 7 years. When we advised management about the flooded site, their response was basically weather event out of out control its in the terms and conditions and asked when we would be off the site. Overall we found the park overcrowded, the people to be very clique’. The showers we tried all only ran cold water, even when the timer was wound to hot setting, it appears many of the showers hot water timers are broken, the showers also poorly drained result in water right the door as such get changed with wet feet. The kitchen area was small and cramped. The toilets were OK but only one hot air hand drier for about 8-12 cubicles and were dirty the hand cleaner was just a foam cleaner dispenser not real soap. Overall a poor experience will not be recommending to others or a return visit. We complained to management and basically received a response that suggested it was all our fault and that we were ill prepared for camping... If your planning on tenting there, do your homework on the site they sell you and check it doesn't flood in heavy rain.

Ohope Top 10 Holiday park.

Not bad but cross the road and go to the Chinese/Thai restaurant as that place is superb with seating overlooking the lagoon. Quite a big site and don't expect to be treated as an individual though.

Bowentown beach holiday park. Better location than Ohope as you have Anzac Bay on the other side and best of all, a lovely beach to the East of Anzac Bay that has 170+ steps to get down to, but worth every second. The site itself also has access to the Ocean beach. Pretty good facilities and good customer service

We had a nice spot close to the beach.

There was a lot of noise form other camp guests that had a huge drinking party till 3 in the morning and there was nothing the owner did. It was also a bit expensive.
