Lovely place!
Host was very kind and facilities are outstanding. When you are lucky, you will get amazing sunsets which you can enjoy from the back of your van or on the beach. Definitely recommend going here.

Stayed here for a night in my van while touring the South Island.
Was made to feel very welcome and at home by the cleaners and owners. The location is great by the beach and the facilities are excellent, including the jacuzzi. It's been my favourite campsite over the whole South Island - I will definitely be back!

Very nice camp site next to a beautiful beach.
Special thanks to the hosts at the camp, Eddie and a nice lady(sorry I forgot your name:) ). My car had a breakdown at the camp and they personally took lots of time and effort to helped me to get a mechanic guy to fix it. Lifetime memory

Unbelievable stay at Ross.
We gave up our powered site to camp right on the beach and had the best view of the ocean all night. I loved every moment of beach exploring we did, and then had an amazing sunset to top it off. Also enjoyed the little town and dinner at the pub. Quite a nice surprise. We’ll take this memory home as one of our most favorite Holiday Parks we stayed in (we circled the entire southern island, y’all!!). Cheers.
Hi Courtney,
Thats fantastic...we love that you enjoyed everything that Ross has to offer, township, beach and of course our fab location.
Take care

Looked appealing on the app, was Charged $80 for 1 adult and 2 children in a van.
Still needed to hire and pay for showers and sport equipment (most of which for the kids was broken) not ideal for young children as no playground. If you can avoid and drive on to alternative spot.
Hi Guys, im sorry you had such a sad experience, however this was not at Ross Beach TOP 10. We do not charge extra for showers or any of our hire items, we also do have a small playground suitable for children upto the age of 10 or 11 years old.
Im not sure where you stayed, but im sorry you didnt enjoy your time on the West Coast.

Great camp site!
Best spots are the non powered on the beach front which we got. The facilities are good and there is a tv room. Could see how if it was busy it might have a different feeling but we loved our stay.

Amazing unpowered camper site right on the beach, we could back our camper up, open the door and enjoy the beach and sea view.
The facilities are modern and clean with a lounge, kitchen and separate shower/toilet blocks.

Over priced, no nice view where the campers park, we would have had a better view in the reception car park.
Nothing for kids to do. Guy charged us $60 then woman came and charged us another $40 so $110 for one night is soo over priced. Lazy service. Don’t recommend.

Pricey at $65 for a night on a non-powered campervan site, but...they are right on the beach, and the non-powered sites are directly facing the beach, so that was fantastic.
Facilities are decent but limited, the site was rather empty when we were there but the kitchen and toilets\showers were full. I cant imagine that they'd cope if the site was actually full of campers.
Hi Kerry, thanks for your review, we appreciate all feedback. As you say our facilities are busy, we had almost 70 guests that night, and we do have plans to expand them over winter. The price of $65 was for a family of 4 - absolute beachfront.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your NZ travels.

We had a spot right on the beach.
Wonderful facilities with BBQ and everything you need. Kea parrots came squawking around at dusk. Don’t feed them! Just revel in their glory! Best thing aside from super friendly host was nonstop soundtrack in showers of Police “Synchronicity” album. This site had me wrapped around their finger!
😊😊❣️ a do do do, a da da da is all I can say to you 😂
See you again on your next trip.
Take care

Fantastic campsite right on the beach.
We had a powered site, which was nice and big. Great layout. The showers were amazing!!!! Better than a hotel! Bathrooms were very clean. Great setup. Perfect to watch the sunset. Didn’t use the kitchen but looked nice and modern. Staff were friendly.
Hi, thanks for the great review. It was lovely to meet you both.
Take care, enjoy the rest of your NZ trip.

Beach site.
Modern, well equipped.
Owners Sue and Andy very friendly and knowledgeable, good recommendations for activities like helicopter rides from Whataroa and onward travel South. Quirky converted containers into nice cabins.
Site wifi strong, even in the unpowered sites right near the beach. Highly recommended!
Hi Guys, great to meet you, we’re really happy to be sharing our wee park.
Enjoy your holidays

This place is right on the beach and looks to be quite new.
Well set up with grown flax creating hedges here and there so that it’s sheltered and more private. Most of the buildings are created from shipping containers which was quite cool. Best shower I’ve had so far on our 3 week trip - free, not timed, hot and great pressure although it can get a bit steamy in there despite the fan! Kitchen is fully equipped and you don’t need to rent anything to use cooking implements. They also have a pizza oven. Very short drive/ cycle into Ross town.
Wow, thanks for the great review... sounds like you really enjoyed your stay here. Hope to see you again one day,
Safe travels

Bester Campingplatz während unserer Reise in Neuseeland!!!
Ich würde am liebsten 20 von 10 vergeben.
Keine Ausschilderung am Highway, kleine einsame Straße entlang, wo man keine Idee von diesem Paradies bekommt. Fahrt unbedingt weiter bis zum Platz und schaut euch um!!! Ein Traum.
Besitzer sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Unpowered direkt am Strand mit Blick aufs Meer. Traumhafter Sonnenuntergang direkt am verlassenen Strand.
Tolles Konzept mit Containern. Saubere duschen, saubere Küche.
Thanks for your awesome review, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay.
Safe travels

Hard to find, they need a sign on the road.
Nice facilities nice spot. There was lots of space but they put us next to three other Campervan. Why not space us out. Camp was quiet.
Hi Ave,
Thanks for the review, we share your signage frustrations. Maybe NZTA will allow one someday soon.
Take care, enjoy your travels

What an amazing place at the westcoast!
Coming to Ross, we thought "what a creepy place." Taking the road to the campground we thought "what a strange place, better turn and leave?" But when we arrived at the campground, we totally loved it. It's right at the stunning beach with beautiful sunsets.
Not many sandflies!
Unfortunately, there is no shade and the kitchen is way to small when the park is busy.
Hi Sam
Thanks for the great review, we agree the kitchen needs to be expanded, and the winter job list is getting longer by the day!
We’re only a new park, and so we’re still figuring out which facilities need to be further developed.
Enjoy your NZ trip

Nice and absolutely new holiday park directly at the beach.
Very clean and calm. Stylish cabins. Some unpowered sites with stunning sea and sunset view. Unfortunately no sign post on the highway – so checking the location map was necessary to find the park.
Hi David,
Thanks for the great review. We hope to be receiving our street signage soon, but Yes the app map is correct and hopefully other guests will be able to find us too.
Thanks again, have a great holiday

Taking a shower or cooking in a cargo container is a funny experience.
All the facilities are new and clean.
Easy acces to the beach.
Hi, thanks for the great review. It makes us smile too, seeing our guests enjoy Ing a new experience.😊
Take care enjoy your NZ trip.

LoveD our stay here.
We were going to stay in Franz Josef but places looked cramped... so glad we jept going. Friendly greeting from staff and amazing views on the beach... esp sunset!!!! Great idea repurposing shipping crates; well designed and all fronted with glass. Not overly keen on the frosted glass wall on the shower toilet block as you can see people dressing when the lights are on. The powered sites were wonderfully large private flat areas surrounded on three sides by NZ flax? The powered sites back up against a road which the locals use at the end of the day to access the beach and walk their dogs but we were not disturbed. If you are visiting the West side of NZ you should definitely stay here! Worth every cent!!!! And then head into Ross and meet the amazing people at the Heritage site. LOVE THIS TOWN!!!!
Hi Sharon, sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed your time here, thanks got the great review - Ross is a funky little township to be park of.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your travels

Stumbled across this place when we were delayed on our drive South.
Cheap for camping. Grassy area surrounded by plants for privacy. Funky shipping container cabins for those with a bigger budget. Friendly owner!
Hi Nick, thanks for the great review. We love our little boutique style holiday park. Hope to see you again one day!
Enjoy the rest of your trip

A great new campsite near to the beach.
Very clean, modern, and peaceful... a very good place... not 10 just because of just one washing machine for all the camp...
Hi, absolutely, we’re going to expand our facilities over the winter months... busy busy busy. We have been blown away with how popular this place has been in its first yr. BIG thank you to all our guests.
Have a great holiday

I can’t even with how awesome this place is.
It is very new which is great. The layout of the camp is very purposeful. The kitchen, laundry and showers are central and the accommodations move out from there. Tenting is in a grassy sheltered area. The non powered caravan sites are all ocean side. The powered sites are along one side. The super rad converted shipping container cabins are spread about. The attention to detail from the hooks in the shower rooms to the organization of the dual kitchen space to the landscaping is so lovely. The beach is RIGHT THERE. The white beach is divine and swimming was fun and safe. We saw the best sunset of our lives here. The owners are friendly and welcoming. I would spend a week here if I could. The place is 15/10. Thank you to the owners for creating such a lovely place!
Hi Jill,
Thanks for the awesome review. I love it when someone takes the time to appreciate all our hard work. We love what we do and I hope that shows through.
Hope to see you again, take care
