5.0/5
We received an incredibly warm welcome from Brian at reception.
The facilities were top-notch—the kids remarked that the bathrooms felt like those in a fancy restaurant. We enjoyed daily walks with stunning views and had a fantastic waterfront site. They even allowed us a late check-out at no extra charge when our son wasn't feeling well. A visit to the local Mangawhai Museum is a must to appreciate the history behind the views and the surrounding area. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend this campground. 10/10!

Off peak $50 for 2ppl on an unpowered site.
Absolutely beautiful location by the estuary - great sunrise. But facilities were just ok for that price. Hot showers cost an extra $1 for 5 mins. No crockery or utensils in the kitchen. Toilets were very clean but showers had lots of sand all over (perhaps inevitable given the location, but they could remind campers to rinse their feet using the tap just outside!)

Great location, good wifi, friendly reception.
$30 for a powered site for two. Clifftop walk was spectacular.

Tried booking online for that night and it said there was no availability.
After calling I was told to book for the following day as there was space. Arrived a few hours later and found my space with no issue. Directions on email we’re clear & helpful. Toilet’s were clean, wifi was a plus. Campervans get a waterfront spot which was nice. Loved being able to have pooch and liked how all dogs were on leash.

As our first welcome, reception was not very friendly..site was very sparse, but she booked either side of us!
Whole areas empty!! Had a wonderful day on the beach ( that is not a beautiful white beach as said!) made the best of it..

Pretty good place overall.
Great location but was a bit boggy on a lot of places so muddy trips to bathrooms in the night. Shower block was super clean but kitchen could have done with a freezer. Solid 7.5. Would stay again

Great location.
Kids play ground available, tidy kitchens and toilets. Some reviewers say showers are at a price, but only hot ones. Cold showers all good.
Big tidy fridges. BBQ areas, lots of camping sites. If booking in advance you can pick a location I. E. Near the facilities or kids park. If you think weather will be windy then choose the area towards West near the cliff.
Kitchen power point has 4 usb charging also in case you forget power plug.

The best Camping on the North Island.
Friendly welcome from the host Family. Nice view, quiet location, pleasant atmosphere. Perfect starting point for the Mangawhai Cliff Walk. Sanitary facilities are new and clean. Kitchen, laundry, everything in top condition. Unlimited free WiFi. We would go there again

Great location and friendly staff.
Showers were coin operated, great water pressure and 7 minutes plenty of time. Really good bathroom and toilet facilities. Beachfront location is a real treat. Would recommend

Great place, modern facilities.
(Kitchen and bathrooms looks brand new).
We pay $40 for 2ppl one night in unpowered campsite.
The hot shower cost $1 the 7 minutes.
Free and fast wifi!
It wasn't the most cheapest place, but was comfortable and tidy.

The location and view right at the beach is great.
The camp ground is huge. The pitches with power are big but next to each other, no privacy. A lot of local campers, some permanent. The kitchen is good and clean, no seating inside. The washrooms are beachlike, nothing special. Friendly hosts.

The area it's on is very big and spacious which is nice.
All the blocks are very clean and tidy. However no one mentioned the showers- you have to put coins in a machine stuck to the wall to run up the time (make sure you have some) for the price of what you pay for one night it's very cheeky having to pay for the showers on top of that as well as not being told, or on the information sheet.
Doesn't seen to have a lot to it. The beach around the corner is the only reason we have stayed here but pulling up I even said "it doesn't look very appealing" for a 'diamond' place to say- it will do for a night or 2.

Location was amaizing, but the owers were bad.
They treated us very unprofessionally. We arrived to the site, checked-in, put up our small tent and then realized the tent is not going to stand up the strong wind that was on that day.. Lady offered other sites, but it was as windy everywhere that day, and we did not want to try our luck again as it was getting late. We could not rely on our small tent that night with 3 year old. It was way too windy and cold. The cabins were not available and we asked for our money back as we were leaving. But the owners did not refund pointing at the note on the back wall saying "no refunds" and referring it is not their problem, but weather problem. We have not been told about no refund before we paid. So we had option to stay - sleep under the sky or leave with no money back. She did not advise to go and have a look first either, she was rushing to charge our card. It is so unprofessional and unfair to the customers. We will never go there again and will recommend our friends not to.

I was looking forward to four nights at this campsite over Easter.
I had it all booked and confirmed. The company then contacted me and told me that there had been an error on their website and I either had to pay double the price (as apparently there was a minimum two person stay over this period-although this wasn't stated on their website and I had no issues making the reservation) or they would cancel my booking.
I'm absolutely disgusted by this company and the poor way I have been treated. If this is an indication of what it's like to stay at the campsite, then I'd recommend that noone goes anywhere near it.
