Not bad.
It’s 20 dollars entry and you don’t get much included in that, not even peace and quiet because you are next to a main road and a BP. Shower was nice but for 3 dollars shouldn’t have been intermittently cold. Camp is flat though and there is free recycling/ rubbish dumping. Would be aware that you are near a fire station that makes a terrifying alarm when the trucks go out on a call which me and my boyfriend (both from UK) mistook for an air raid siren lol.

Such a beautiful camping spot!
Very glad we decided to stay here. It is free to park and there are plenty of spaces which means you can spread out even when many other campers are there. The amenities are good - KiwiCash works well here. It gets extremely dark so take a torch!
