We called to book the day-of and it was great.
Paid $30 cash for two people and last check-in time was 8:30pm. The shower had hot water and was very clean and they even helped when we had car troubles in the morning. Great place to stay :)

The camping was okay, there were clean toilets and hot shower, and the wifi works very well (but you have to go near the house of the owner to have access to it).
The owners are nice.
The negative points were that the kitchen wasn’t clean and there was no drinkable water and the park place are not flat.

Cute little spot with nice views around inland Northland.
Welcoming hosts, really nice chill out room with a kettle. Incredibly clean, smart shower and toilets. Lovely little stopover when travelling through Northland. $14 a night. The owners said they're mainly just taking bookings over the phone now so just call to let them know before you arrive.

One of the best Camps we have been!
Lovely owners and dogs. Realy nice shower and very clean toilets. Close to the thermal pools and half an hour drive from Kerikeri.
We took a look on the free spots on Kaikohe bud that didn’t feel safe. This camping felt realy safe and not expensive at al.

Please don't go here with kids!!!
It's a parking lot on a farm, it's nice that there is a shed with kitchen stuff, a place to sit and one (yes one!) really amazing hot shower. But we arrived early with the kids hoping there would be animals, etc. But there is really nothing to do here for them. It's just gravel to stand on and the shed. Some cows in a far off Meadow. Not a pretty spot either. Might be perfect to meet other single travelers, but not for kids. Two dogs are really friendly as is the owner.
