Stayed here purely for location, it was a 25 minute walk to town or a $12 for an uber.

Didn’t feel very friendly or personal, facilities are ok! A little dated and not the cleanest but did the job. Quite expensive compared to other parks with better facilities.

We called in here about 5pm when we noticed all freedom camps in the area were packed.

Charlie was so friendly and helpful, checked us in straight away and gave us a tour. We didn’t play but loved that the lounge had a free pool table! The town is a couple of minutes away and plenty there. Extremely good WiFi. Very clean. If in the area again we would certainly return.

Stayed two nights purely as lots to do in Napier.

As a brit, would say this is very similar to Butlins. Very loud, lots of kids, facilities ok but deposits required for everything whether using a deck of cards($10deposit) or wanting to watch tv ($50deposit). Showers are a pain as they shut off constantly probs every 30 seconds. Quite noisy at night, music and singing, perhaps drunk guests. Expensive compared to other places.

Noisy guests out in the bbq area partying until late - large group of them, possibly some sort of party.

Woken at 7.30 by noise again at the bbq area.

WiFi doesn’t work at the campsite, just near reception.

Showers don’t have doors, just curtains.

Bathroom is not clean, big spiders and webs over ceiling.

Laundry isn’t the best, paid $3 for tumble drier and barely dried the clothes - we didn’t risk paying another $3 for it not to work again. Also $3 for washing machine.

Good location as the only one in the city and close-ish to Eden park, but is very grubby and not worth the money. $50 a night for powered site for 2 adults.

The kitchen hobs are super slower, need to turn them on at least 20 mins before you want to start cooking.

We were booked for two nights as had an event in the city, if we didn’t have the event we wouldn’t have stayed.

Lovely spot, friendly and helpful host, no WiFi/signal at all which to our surprise was very nice.

Probably one of our fave campsites so far!

Nice spot, very windy but could imagine in summer weather it would be lovely.

No toilets so we drove to the next beach front car park (we’re not lazy - due to awful weather) where there was some and this was also a freedom camp spot which is not advertised on this app. Would recommend this one over the other purely as it has the toilets.

Good spot for a free nights camping.

Right next to town so lovely to go out for dinner and drinks and still be near the van. No toilets. We stayed on a Saturday night and the car park did get very loud with cars/music after 1am which kept me up most the night. Right next to a school so wouldn’t ideally want to stay here on a weeknight.

Lovely stay here.

Receptionist very friendly. Hired bikes and cycled the sea wall and stopped off at the pub on way back. Facilities very good. Grass pitches were a big boggy in the morning after a night of heavy rain. A couple of drunks singing and being noisy in bathroom was unnerving.

Nice location, stayed two nights in the end.

Car park is not very flat so be mindful where you park as the first night on a slope was not comfortable. Got up to watch the dam gates at 10am but nothing happened that day. The next day we were woken at 5.30 to a helicopter dropping mercury into the river. Very cool to see despite being very noisy. A quiet area with the odd truck racing by. Nice to be near the falls. Drop toilet not pleasant but if self contained it’s not an issue.
