1.0/5
If it was reasonably priced then we would have given a 7 as rating.
However it feels way overpriced. We had to pay 30 percent more than on any other campsite we've visited in the last 6 weeks in New Zealand.
There's one new facility with showers and toilets. But all other facilities are quite old. The toilets weren't really clean.
If you want to use kitchen equipment, you'll have to pay a bond at the reception.
One of the campsites unique selling points is their wood fired (but to be extra paid for) hot tubs. The downside is that if the direct of the wind is to your site, you'll end up smelling like something is burning.
The campervan sites out quite close to eachother. We could hear the conversation of our neighbours while being in our van.

Great place to stay.
Very friendly host.
Beautiful view to Haruru Falls. Kayaks to explore the falls and river to be used free of charge.
