Arrived late but had no trouble with check in.

Lady in reception wasn't overly-welcoming but it was raining and the drive was quite long from where we had come from, so i just wanted to get to our pitch. They have timed showers, (short 4 mins?) and there were only 2. so there was a short wait to use them. Kitchen was quite big and there are a few pots to use as well as cutlery, plates and cooking utensils. table in kitchen and also have a covered outdoor bbq and seating area which was nice. Cameras in the kitchen area. Toilets were clean. We weren't told about the TV area so didn't realise they had one till after we left. Pretty basic facilities but reasonably priced. Didn't manage to have a look around the grounds due to rain but I would stay here again.

Very basic facilities and in my opinion, overpriced.

Dirty toilets and not enough showers. 5 mins walk to beach. I guess they can charge that whatever they like as this is really the only place for tent/unpowered sites for a while. Even the small cabins look a bit spooky and when we stayed, a large group partied through the night. They have an onsite caravan though, that sells takeaways. the food was fantastic!

It's just basically a car park but right by the estuary and town just over the bridge.

Has a toilet but nothing else. Didn't mind as it was free and convenient and very quiet when we stayed.

I love freedom camping!

Go get a permit from places mentioned in other comments. We got ours from the Gisborne District Council. Paid $24 for 7 days which was reasonable. Very packed and hard to find a spot in peak season, but beautiful beach. You must have your own chemical toilet. Could not get reception on my mobile there, but great place to camp.

Paid $50 for 2 per night for an unpowered site.

Very spacious and it was busy but didn't seem packed. Showers were lovely and they have a great laundry area too. The campsites seemed to be divided up into cute lil names and we stayed in the area called Paradise. Toilets in this area were not very clean and the toilet block is very small. 1 wash basin and 4 toilets in this particular area, but more toilets near the laundry and shower Block. really close location to start the cathedral cove walk and situated right on a beautiful beach. also the walk down the beach to the right, takes you up the hill to a lookout. large kitchen and covered outdoor seating, friendly and helpful staff with an onsite shop as well. also has internet area and wifi, and a nicely decorated tree that lights up at night.

I really enjoyed our stay here, its a beautiful resort, and would definitely come back again. Stayed 2 nights.

Office was not opened so we just set up camp in a spot.

Really wanted to use the wifi but the manager didn't get in till late afternoon. Manager was very friendly and helpful with what to see and do around the area and this holiday park is situated right by a beautiful beach. Facilities were good, although hot water from the kitchen zip didn't heat up as much as it should've. Lots of elements for cooking. Showers were high pressured but you have to keep pushing a button to keep water flowing. and toilets were clean. Paid $17pp. I eventually paid for wifi but it wasn't good at all and hardly ever connected. I would still recommend this place and stay again.

Stayed in a non powered site for 2 people.

Staff were friendly but that's about it. We were under willow trees where the sap was dropping. We ended up putting a tent up to reserve our spot, when we came back the groundskeeper had moved it because he was mowing the lawns - I didn't mind that though. The toilets and showers are outdated and in need of some refurbishment. toilet stalls are very small and dirty, showers were very dirty. Small laundry with 2 washers and a dryer. kitchen & dining area was small but had a toaster, kettle and fridge. There are also toilets and showers on the opposite side of the grounds, which smelt horrible! our site was by the creek and at night, the people who live in the flats on the other side of the creek, were shining torches right into our van and looking for a way to get across the creek, it seemed. It was about 10pm at night. It was quite scary as we were the only ones under the trees in that area. No neighbours. in my opinion the facilities were not great and I wouldn't stay there again.

I really enjoyed this campsite.

A young man and lady checked us in, very friendly people. The amenities and facilities are limited but we had a really nice walk through the bush that overlooked the lake and a bench seat that overlooked a beautiful beach. Its a quick walk through the pine trees to the beach. Paid $15pp and were allowed our pick of any site. Powered or unpowered. They have a chill out room where you can charge your stuff or watch TV. Showers $1 for 5 mins but they were nice showers. Zip for hot water in the kitchen. The kitchen is quite small and they only had 2 hotplates when we were there. Another lady was waiting to cook dinner too. They also have a small covered outdoor dining area. No wifi and very limited reception.

I thought Miranda was actually a small town but there is no town.

However, they do have an onsite shop, there is just the one hot pool, although next door is another pool complex (extra charge) which has hot and cold pools. Also next door is a takeaways bar you can order from too. The facilities at Miranda Park were fantastic! Very clean and plenty of toilets and showers. Huge kitchen with plenty of room for cooking. They also have activities around the park; mini golf, trike rides I think its called? And lots of things to do for kids as well. The pool is the feature of this place though and it didn't disappoint. We loved the pool! Very relaxing. Our unpowered site was huge and we had our own picnic table too. Friendly staff at reception, this place has it all.
