3.5/5
Would be lovely summer stop, good in winter.
Super pool and bbq area outlook. 10/10 campsties. Motor area good but not exciting, if u get in early first 3 spots have super views. Amenities block clean and simple. Great pool, so so kids play area, really nice tenting spots. Very lovely operators and easy walk to town

3.0/5
Good spot, pros: good fishing, great ocean beach short walk away, grassy area / cons: small area so can get crowded, a bit trapped by farmland unless you walk on only track thru farmland to beach, worried
re quality of water to swim in with it being very green after flowing thru heavily farmed land plus 2 dead sheep in water, beach not suitable for swimming, generator used in private campsite nearby... so okay, but think the paid campsite at wapatiki offers same but so much more especially for kids. Eg cleaner water, better access, lots of walks, swimming beach,,,,
