Nice and cheap place (18 dollars / 2 persons without power - what a good deal!) close to the ocean in Waitara, only about 15 mins from New Plymouth.
Good, clean kitchen and unlimited hot showers.

5.0/5
An old-school Kiwi campsite with great atmosphere.
Apart from us, all the other guests were friendly older Kiwis who came there to whitebait. The facilities were a bit worn but clean and well kept - all in all, a real bargain for 8 dollars per person for an unpowered site. Nice place to stay if you want to do the nearby Charming Creek walk (highly recommended!).
