Palmerston North Holiday Park
4.5/5
It's the only holiday park in Palmy but the review score wasn't great so we were curious to see what was so wrong with it..
turns out it's a nice campground with beautiful tall trees, dedicated staff and very decent facilities. The bad reviews I'm seeing are either a long time ago or unfair reviews from people who blame everything on other people.
Jo and Steve have been great to us. We stayed for a few weeks and even went through a cyclone here. They took proactive safety measures to protect campers, came around personally to make sure we had what we needed and the cleanup afterwards was very quick.
The location could not be better. The esplanade is right next door with playgrounds, narure walks, a rose garden, aviary, kiddie pool.. then there is the lido pool complex next door on the other side.. plus you've got the river right at the back and all the walking you can shake a stick at along the riverside.
Finally, untimed showers - my favourite. We have stayed at well over forty campgrounds up and down NZ and those are not as common as you would think
Would definitely stay here again.

Lakes Edge Holiday Park
4.5/5
Stayed in a powered site.
Read some other reviews and I have to say I don't know what a couple of people are complaining about, this is a NICE campsite. View of the lake, good security, modern bathrooms, family bathrooms, close to the hot springs. Absolutely lovely.

Nice modern facilities, very nice little cabins for a good price.
There is an older but still fun little playground. Would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Rosie for taking the time to review us. We really appreciate your feedback and look forward to you staying with us next time you are in Geraldine.

Dunedin Holiday Park
3.5/5
Stayed in a powered site.
Good sites, beach just a walk down the road, nice kitchen, friendly staff, dairy/chipshop basically on site. There was a playground, which our four year old liked. The bathrooms were a little bit dated but you need a code to get in which I like for security, and they were clean.
