Nice location with river and beach in short distance.

However, as there are mainly permanent camp sites, and in between small sites for campers with no "breathing" space, it made me feel quite claustrophobic and not really in the right place.

Amenities ok, clean.

Huge park near town, probably good for families and groups, lacking a bit of atmosphere.

Friendly welcome. Amenities ok. Camping ground is the only one near town, therefore convenient.

Once again after 2 years: Nice site on the beach with spotless modern facilities, very welcoming management.

Beautiful views, sunrises, sunsets and walks along the beach – perfect for happy starting or sad finishing point for the holidays, despite main road with lots of traffic next to it.

Set in a lovely green site with grassy ground and plenty of bush and plants, beach access, close to spectacular Pancake Rocks (nice walk along the beach).

Only the sound of waves and gulls.... Well maintained, amenities good. Very friendly and resourceful manager lady.

Great tour all the way up to the Farewell Split lighthouse with numerous stops and time to walk around, very enthusiastic and informed guide/driver named Murray.

Full day (10 am- 5pm) tour at $145 was fantastic and highly interesting with all the information the guide provided. Wonderful and recommendable day.

Most amazing clearest water reservoir/spring.

Nice easy short walk with breathtaking water. Newly made tracks, unfortunately yet without information along the track and at the main water viewin point. Take polarised sunglasses as they take the glare out of the water and you can see much more and better - awesome, really.

Just convenient, parking lot, no atmosphere, amenities just doing, very old.

Very expensive at $ 46 for power site. Not really worth staying unless you need to.

Community managed, well maintained, clean campground with basic facilities (even hot showers, $1) in a wonderfully tranquil and peaceful setting near beach and lagoon.

Truly relaxing, great views to snow capped mountains.

Fantastic location and surroundings with awesome views, sunrises and sunsets, park-like environment with some small "wild" life around.

I spent three happy nights here. The drives to Mt. Cook, Hooker valley etc. are beautiful, so no real hussle to go into for me, also nice walks around the park. Staff very friendly and most welcoming.

The information on haves and not haves (i.e. dump station) of the park is easily accessible through the internet or maps beforehand, so complaints should consider that.

The downsites are the facilities: frequent noise from helis during the day; run-down kitchen with non-functioning stuff stacked everywhere, and worst of all only three showers and toilets for ladies, all very small and old. I was lucky that not many people were around, I do not want to imagine the site at high season. The unlit walkways have the positive effect of wonderful starlight, however it is not so comfartable to reach the facilities or as mentioned by s.o. back to your camper or tent.

Te Anau Kiwi Lakeview: Beautiful location with lake view from many campervan sites, and short distance walking to town centre.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Known cleanliness, although kitchen amenities are a bit worn.

what a treasure!

Most beautiful location in a seemingly very remote and awesome peaceful and quiet surrounding. Views are fantastic, and the host lady welcoming. Amenities good, host lady very friendly and welcoming. Only drawback is that the whole camping ground is very dusty, no grass, and customers really must be considerate of each other when driving (and they should be made aware at arrival!), which unfortunately in some cases they are not. Bit challenging to find the facilities at night when you are at the top level as there is no light and access via a steep narrow path.Good walking tracks around.
