Mount / Mt Somers Domain Camping Ground
3.5/5
Pleasant campsite that was very quiet when I stayed (early January).
I think the price for pitching my tent $20 was a bit expensive compared to most other campsites and holiday parks. Still, the showers were hot, the kitchen was well equipped and there is a swimming pool nearby!

Hanmer Springs Forest Camp
5.0/5
This is my favourite spot in Hanmer to pitch a tent for the night.
There are plenty of trees, a clothes line and nice facilities. You also get beautiful bird song in the mornings! The staff are friendly.

Fairlie Holiday Park
5.0/5
Lovely place to stay, with a helpful owner who offered me a free towel to use cause I'm a cyclist.
They even have a reserved area for cyclists to pitch their tents :) it cost $15 a night to tent, with nice facilities and a cosy TV room. I'd highly recommend this holiday park!

For a free campsite, totally nice to pitch a tent and enjoy the views.
The river nearby is a water source, and there is a public toilet. The Omarama township is a few minutes down the road.

Duntroon Recreational Reserve Camping
3.0/5
Spacious campsite (or field with trees) to pitch my tent in for $10 a night, but to use facilities was an additional $7.
The only thing is, staying at an unsupervised campsite means anyone can turn up, and they did! we had someone racing around on a go-kart until 9pm at night. Very inconsiderate. But, still a good spot if you need to camp for the night.

The owner was lovely and welcoming.

Curio Bay Camping Ground
4.5/5
A great place to pitch a tent for only $15 a night for one person.
I overlooked the amazing coast line and ocean from my tent, in a nice quiet spot. The showers cost a bit extra, and there is an office with snack foods and helpful staff. It is a large campsite surrounded in flax bushes with the beach close by.

Lovely owners, very helpful and welcoming.
I got a cheap cabin for the night which was cosy. The camp ground kitchen is great with all cooking facilities and a lounge area. There is also laundry available. Recommended!

Ashhurst Domain
4.0/5
A sheltered camping area in a peaceful setting.
I've camped here more than once and always felt like it's a retreat! there are hot showers at an extra cost, and a small kitchen area with a zip. Cheap too.

Goldsborough Campsite
3.0/5
I got lost trying to find this place, but I was cycling the West Coast Wilderness Trail so it required me to detour.
Nice campsite with lots of trees for shelter and clean toilets. Arrive early to get yourself a good camping spot though.
-
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ St Arnaud ▷
Kawatiri Campsite
3.0/5
A convenient location at a junction of two highways, which makes a good stop if you need it!
Very noisy, to be expected. Pleasant surrounds though, with a nice grassy camping area and a toilet. There is no water supply other than the river, which is good for a swim :)
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Cron street ▷
Whataroa Hotel Camper and Caravan Park
4.0/5
Nice camping area with fresh water supply.
Showers are an extra cost at the hotel. The owners are friendly, they helped me dry out all my gear after a very rainy night in my tent! They also offered me a room at a cheaper rate because I was on my own. I'd recommend this place! :)

South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Murchison ▷
Lyell Campsite
3.5/5
A lovely, scenic area to camp.
A bit noisy and busy, which is to be expected since it's the entry to the Old Ghost Road track and a stop over for people traveling through the Buller area. But cheap, with friendly wekas who like to thief your food.
