Was a nice location just far enough away from the chaos of Auckland.

A nice little accessible beach from the campgrounds. It was tidy and we could park on the concrete off the soggy grass. Kitchen and bathroom were basic for a Top 10 campground.

Really nice well kept Campground.

Nice friendly owners and an awesome camp dog named Snappa! The only thing lacking was dishwashing stuff in the kitchens but that could be because it was low season and very few guests. Would definitely stay again

One of the most beautiful campsites I've stayed at.

Amazing gardens, glow worms and the chance to spot a kiwi down the road. They even let us borrow a high power red torch to spot the kiwis. Can not recommend enough!

Nice little location right on the beach.

Facilities a bit dated. Owner was nice and friendly. There's some nicer beaches in the area so worth exploring around a couple of the other bays

Amazing place!

Such a cool property to go exploring on. Love how they have added all the little funny things to find along the walk. Super nice star gazing at night to top it off. Facilities are basic but clean with a flushing toilet. The Scottish owner was super friendly giving us a bowl full of eggs. Highly recommended for a night or 2

Beautiful spot right on its very own little private beach.

Had the place to ourselves. Great hot showers and good WiFi. Would stay again

Not overly impressed with the place especially the annoying showers.

Was a bit of a walk to bathroom on the night. Weird lay out

Although the facilities were a bit worn this was still a nice little spot to stay.

The kitchen had everything you needed as well as a ping pong table. The animals added an interesting element to the place but the one thing that really made the stay was the hot pools for use 24/7 perfect for the wet weather we had while there

Pretty good place overall.

Great location but was a bit boggy on a lot of places so muddy trips to bathrooms in the night. Shower block was super clean but kitchen could have done with a freezer. Solid 7.5. Would stay again

Place has had a massive revamp under the new owners.

Really top notch sparkling facilities. Hot pool was beautiful although could have been a tiny bit warmer. Games room to keep everyone entertained. Would stay again next time I'm back

Average place that you pay for the location.

Bit wet underfoot and had to navigate walking through campsites on way to toilet to avoid walking through mud. Average facilities but they kept them clean. With that said you can't beat the view. But a bit pricey at $45 for myself on a site I didn't use power on

Awesome location and great base to catch the sunrise at the lighthouse from.

Plenty of spaces and right on a beautiful beach.

Was quite impressed by this place.

Awesome spot right on the lake and right next to the hot pools. Great spot for star gazing. 1 gig of WiFi was nice. Like others have said they are tight spots so your neighbours are right next to ya. The driveway was also pretty dusty when cars went in and out. Try get one further uo the hill if you can. Would stay again

Stayed here one night on my way to Wellington.

I was the only one there and it was quite a bizzare little spot. You could have filmed a horror movie there haha. But no it was OK enough apart from the train running right behind it somewhere behind the trees. Woke me up in the middle of the night. Quite liked the big spooky forest with camp fire type log seating. Could imagine in Summer it is pretty cool

Great little gem I found just driving past.

The guy who ran the place was tops. Good little spot and very quiet. Cheap as chips

Wasn't overly impressed when I first arrived.

Got in at 9 am and hoped for an early check in. The place was barely quarter full so plenty of spaces available. She wouldn't budge and told me to come back at one. I asked if I could pay for my night then and there and quickly use the communal bathroom to freshen up. Not a chance. I had to wait until 1! The $26 a night price tag is pretty steep for what it is. Showers were annoying on a 6 minute timer. The first minute you'd wait for it to warm up.

Amazing little spot right on the river.

Friendly American owner. Clean facilities decent showers ($2 coin) can't remember how much it was but think it was quite reasonable. Would stay again.

Bit of a dusty ugly site.

Toilets pretty grubby and not sure how often they're cleaned. Mind you it's cheap enough at 10 bucks a night. Look like a few dodgy long termers have made it home though

OKish place.

Weather was horrendous when I stayed though which gave it a bit of a damp wet vibe everywhere. Close to hikes. Facilities could do with an upgrade. The stove tops are useless. Was easier to bring my own stove in and cook.

Really like this spot.

Grabbed a park right in the lake front. A nice little hike close by. The long drop is surprisingly clean and doesn't smell. Beautiful spot for sunset
