Stayed for 2 nights at $10 pp/n.

We had come to explore the Caitlins and this was close enough for that. Nice quiet site set in the rolling hills. Owner was very welcoming and had lots of info for things to see nearby, and was quite helpful.

Shower was good and hot and $2 per 5m. We took the option of cooked breakfast and cooked pizzas one day, home made by the owner and we enjoyed these 2 meals.

Toilet, shower, kitchen area, general grounds were presented in a clean manner. Would def recommend.

Great stop off point to the Catlins.

At $10 per person the campground, well you get what you pay for. Functional.

The $2 shower seemed to last forever. Good wifi. Kitchen did not have stoves which was a shame as ran out of gas and he can no longer provide pizzas or breakfast.

I recommend you go to the bake house in Owaka

Awesome burgers. Better than Ferg burgers.

Check out Cannibal Bay to.

After reading online that dogs were allowed, and driving there, manager then said he didn’t want dogs on site.

After much whinging and venting, he then said we could stay but to keep dogs out of sight.? Did a quick scan and decided it wasn’t for us. Not much on offer for $15 pp. basically a fenced paddock in the middle of farmland.

A little place in the middle of nowhere.

A few slots are even. Most are not.

But the price isn’t 10/pp anymore. They raised it 50% to 15/pp.

Showers are still 2.

Kitchen is a container. So not enough space if the camp is crowded. Be aware in the main season.

For 10/pp I would say it’s a fair price but since the raise it’s not really worth it anymore.

A rare find: private campground along asphalt road, very sunny.

Owner is a very kind family who also provides WiFi (free) and some snacks (against a small price). Very tolerant, but amenities are clean, lawn well maintained. Nice atmosphere with all guests; mostly young crowd. Cleanliness is alright, amenities a bit dated but all functional. Even has (only) one shower - against a small price. Price is more than fair (10$ p.P.) - this is not a holiday park after all. Perfect for tourists in their early twenties who want a good campsite, nice atmosphere, WiFi, but have not high demands and must save their money. And the (hill) view (with grazing cattle) is serene, too!

We paid $30 for the only power site which would have been ok except all the facilities (kitchen and ablutions) needed a good clean.

There was only cold water in the kitchen and no means to heat water. If staying you need to bring everything for cooking etc. Host was not particularly helpful and I wonder if tough times since COVID have had an effect. The setting was nice and the $2 coin operated showers hot with good water pressure.

If I had realised I would have used the freedom camp at Owaka and paid $5 for a shower next door.

Nice little place to stop off.

The owner was lovely and welcoming. Rankers said pets allowed however the owner said no dogs. Luckily we could let our dogs sleep in the van. Amenities were simple. We booked a room and it provided shelter for the night - very noisy with people next door though (could hear every word and movement)
