Small spaces, like SMALL, but had some friendly neighbours, staff was super friendly and had a sweet pooch on site, very helpful and kind.
Countdown is a super short walk away, showers were fabulous, unisex and large!
Over all a small site with outdoor wash up behind toilets but was nice to experience. There is currently a worksite in the next paddock over and from what we have heard and naughty/unwatched white dog next door so don’t encourage it and keep your pooch in your space and on leash.

Russell TOP 10 Holiday Park
2.5/5
When booking, we weren’t informed of the 150 school kids who would also be staying at the park until after we had paid $64 for the one night.
Got to rush a shower mid afternoon before the kids came back from town. Kitchen was a bombsite and unusable as the school camp had left their food supplies and boxes all through the kitchen and the kids eating times and prep really didn’t help to make the kitchen accessible. Laundry was dated but worked enough with only one dryer out of order. Stayed in a small but nice site on Bayview rise but was a bit of a walk to all ammenities if we were even able to access them. Pet friendly which is a plus but overall this experience has tainted our view on the park and I don’t think we will choose to come back here in a hurry.

Hihi Beach Holiday Park
4.0/5
Location was INCREDIBLE!
Small parking spaces but plenty of space in surrounding camp ground, very picky about how you keep your pet but still very grateful for it being pet “friendly” , kitchen was AWESOME! Best one we have seen yet, bathrooms were clean but just small, couldn’t find unisex shower to share, only one shower in each gendered bathroom so one of us had a run in with waiting to shower but over all a cute little spot with heaps of tuis singing in the evening and when you wake up

Matauri Bay Holiday Park
5.0/5
Affordable, awesome campsite location, we had a “beachfront” spot and when they say beach front, they mean BEACHFRONT!
Incredible! Showers were awesome, kitchen was a little skint for supplies eg no oven/only jugs and toasters
PLEASE BE AWARE THERE IS NO SERVICE/EXTREMELY LIMITED SERVICE! But a nice off the grid experience overall. Will definitely be coming back!
There’s also a gas station at the campsite with decent rates (mid sept 2023), alc and ample supplies sold at the store. Some wicked merchandise too.

Taupo Bay Holiday Park
4.5/5
Awesome spot close to the beach, pet friendly and they also have the sweetest pooch named Snapper who will be sure to keep you company if you want it, plenty of space, we can tell it would pop off in
the summer time , only slight issue we had was the shower, not the best pressure and took a bit to warm up but over all the vicinity was fabulous and had wonderful staff who were very cheerful and helpful
