Rankers Booking Service
5.0/5
Janet at Rankers was extremely helpful in sourcing a rental that met our specific requirements.
Her responses were timely and always answered fully all questions asked. I would strongly recommend future customers let Rankers do the legwork for you.
Hi Susan, legwork keeps us fit and it's the only way to find the best campers. Janet's legwork is legendary too :)

A lovely quiet location.
We stayed in May 2017 and had the place to ourselves. Grant our host was a gem. He made us feel very welcome and was a wealth of local knowledge.

Very friendly staff.
Handy location. Facilities were fine. Kitchen very clean. As it was raining, we appreciated the coveted walkway from our camper to the showers.

Raglan Kopua Holiday Park
3.5/5
A very expensive place to stay.
The park is large with many permanent vans (empty for the winter thankfully), so the park would be a very busy place in summer. Great location, walking distance to town via a foot bridge.

Tapawera Campground and Tiny House Park
3.5/5
At $17 pp for a powered site it's a bit expensive, but does include showers.
The facilities are tired but functional and there is a great kitchen with all you could need. The location is only about 100m walk along a track to the Main Street for groceries. The host is very friendly and helpful. Be mindful that you are adjacent to the fire station which uses a community alarm to call in the fire fighters. We had the privilege of hearing it in the small hours, but it is the very essence of community life. There is no dump station here but there is a public one that also supplies fresh water in the Main Street. Use is by donation.

Turakina Beach Camp / Koitiata Camping Ground
4.5/5
A great find.
This all weather area is adjacent to the beach. A powered site is $6 plus $2 pp and $2 for the shower. There is a washing machine for use for a donation and sinks for washing up. There is a dump station but no water for topping up your water supply. The elderly gentleman who runs the park lives across the road out the back gate. No shops in this area so have all you need with you. Well worth the short drive off the highway.

A very scenic and enjoyable drive away from the major roads.
A short dirt section of around 12k but nothing to be concerned about. No fuel along the way.

Tatapouri Bay
3.5/5
We stayed here in May 2017.
We arrived in the dark and was met by a very friendly and helpful host who accommodated us even though most of the park was water logged due to recent heavy rains. We certainly appreciated the spot. However, I would have to agree that the facilities need a revamp and the price is quite high.

Kina Beach Reserve Camping Ground
4.0/5
A great spot right on the water.
At $5 pp it is a bargain. No power or showers. Caretaker is a lovely lady who will come around to collect your fee at night. She lives in a quirky truck on site. The night we were there it poured. We were fine in our van, but ground can become water logged.

Whangamomona Domain Camping Ground
4.0/5
A lovely secluded place to stay.
We were greeted by chickens and tiny ponies. The guy running it has a quirky sense of humour - check out the "gym". He was on hand should we have needed anything. The facilities were spotless and showers included in the price. A little expensive at $15 pp for a powered site, but given the overnight temp, we were glad to have heating. Would certainly stay here again.

Right on the beach.
We paid $15 pp for a powered site. The toilets are basic and no shower here, but access to lovely facilities just along at the next campground are included in the price.

Clarks Beach Holiday Park
4.0/5
A small but clean and friendly park.
Good place to tidy up a van before departing NZ. Dump station onsite and a spot in the kitchen to donate left over supplies. Lounge area has a book swap, TV and table tennis. Petrol available nearby. Facilities clean and showers nice and hot.
There is also a place on the way to the motorway that you can top up your gas bottles. thank you for your positive review.

Lakes Edge Holiday Park
3.5/5
We stayed one night in a powered site and at $46 plus showers we felt it over priced.
It's a busy spot so best to book ahead if you can. Walking distance to hot pools but at $25 for a dip, again, very expensive.

Possum Lodge Motel and Holiday Park
4.0/5
A great location for the Doubtful Sound cruise as you can walk to the harbour.
The owner was very helpful even lending us a couple of kayaks for a lake paddle. The area can become a bit crowded so the only down side was that with only 2 showers and 2 toilets, availability was a bit limited.

Lake Mahinapua Campsite
5.0/5
Whilst this spot can get busy there is plenty of space.
There are no shower facilities here unless you have your own solar heated water bag. In that case, there are private facilities in which you can hang your bag for a shower. A great idea! The road in is narrow, but don't fear, it's one way. A great place to stay not too far away from Greymouth and Hokitika.

Curio Bay Camping Ground
5.0/5
What a magic place.
This was the best camping spot in our entire trip. Each powered spot is private and non powered campers can also tuck away. The facilities certainly are basic, but the $2 showers have a quirkiness that makes them special. The beach offers good swimming and the dolphins are friendly. A short walk away you might be lucky to spot a penguin or two early evening. The kiosk offers some basic items and there is a surf lesson possible. Walk around the cliff tops for a great view of the rugged coastline.

Kowai Pass Domain Camping Ground
5.0/5
This spot is a great first night out of Christchurch or last night before return.
There is a kitchen, washing machine, dump station and garbage facilities. Roy the caretaker is friendly, helpful and wonderfully laid back. We stayed here March 2016 and highly recommend it. The rate for a powered or non-powered site is fair with showers $1. No coins? Don't fret, Roy will help you out. There is a great coffee shop nearby and Springfield Hotel offers a bistro meal or pub grub on a Monday. Both within a 15 minute walk. Fuel is also available. The camp ground backs onto farming land so is peaceful. Yes there is a train nearby, but you really don't notice it. Oh, and for you Simpson's fans, while in Springfield, don't forget to pose for a pic in the big donut.

Boundary Creek Campsite
4.0/5
Our stay at this spot was marred only by a group who obviously didn't know what "no fires" meant.
The spot itself is beautiful with great views across the lake and clear water for those brave enough to dip their toes. The foreshore is littered with washed up wood that has been assembled by creative folk into shelters and sculptures. A great site to see. There are toilets at this site but according to signs, no suitable drinking water. The available camping space is quite extensive, so take a walk in all directions before settling down.

Road Runner Rentals
5.0/5
Randall and Road Runners was all that was expected - fantastic.
Nothing was too hard, all requests met and the Queenie ran like a dream. Thanks team for a great NZ experience. If returning, we would have no hesitation in booking with you again and will most certainly be recommending you to other NZ travellers.
