Grassy area, everything is kept clean spotless. Kitcherig equipped with cutlery and plates etc.
Would certainly recommend this campground.

Awesome place to stay.
Lovely beach close by, great for swimming , kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing . Views on the hill top are amazing, mountain biking close by at the Cable Bay Adventure park. Camping ground, kitchen and showers are kept very clean and tidy. Thanks Bert and Matt we will be back.

We had a great time here!
The facilities are very clean and the kitchen has everything you need. Even a French Press we were very happy about :)
There is also a big common area with a nice comfortable sofa.
The owners, Bert and Matt, are probably two of the nicest human beings on this planet. Matt welcomed us and our dog in the evening and gave us some beautiful tracking recommendations for the next day - the rocky beach is just a two minutes walk away and a track starts there.
We originally planned on only staying a night but enjoyed it so much here that we extended our stay (which was no problem at all).
Would happily stay here again.

Road was partielle open, depends of the hours.
No staff when we arrived, when you call no one picked the phone. There is a board witch indicate free spots and booking to come if you want to park but it's not clear at all. Better to book before.

Überaus empfehlenswert!
Der kurze Umweg lohnt sich wenn man mal etwas zur Ruhe kommen will.
Die gut eingerichtete Küche ist überaus ordentlich.
Ebenso wie das Badezimmer.
Die Besitzer ist sehr nett und doch unaufdringlich. Ich hatte leider nur einen Tag Zeit sonst wäre ich auf jeden Fall noch eine Nacht geblieben.

Beautiful campsite with great common area and kitchen.
2 min walk to the beach and a tramp up the hill behind the campsite. Owner was very nice and the honey we bought from the stand out from was delicious. No cell service but free 400mb wifi. Clean showers and toilets.

Great quiet spot off the beaten path.
Owner was very nice and accommodating. Bathrooms & showers were nice and clean. The rock beach was just a minute or two walk and a perfect spot for a swim or sunset wine walk. Also close to the trail up the mountain, but was closed when we were there due to fire risk. Overall awesome spot!

We spent our last night on the South Island there on our way to Picton from Abel Tasman.
Staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Camp was quiet at the time of our visit (end Feb). We enjoyed our stay here very much and would definitely stay again!!!

Charming find on a remote road.
Very close to the pebble beach on the Pepin Island causeway.
Divided into a few sections so you don’t feel crowded in. Each site is on a slightly different level so you feel private. Ablutions are really good and clean. Did not use laundry but saw machines.
WiFi is free and each voucher gives 300MB but not always reliable connection. Small kitchen area with not much area should many campers be in at same time. Has barbecue that can be used.
Very peaceful. Zero noise after dark.

Magic setting at beauty Cable Bay. Safe swimming. Stoney beach so bring water shoes for comfort. Good for real break - No mobile phone coverage in the area. Site has wifi. Owners Jo and Nigel could not have been more helpful and friendly

Small, but beautifully located and well equipped.
The causeway and beach is just outside the lower gate from the site; and the beach is a great place for a picnic on a summer evening.

Amazing place to stay if you are after some peace and quiet, completely understand why the reviews are so good.
The owners were lovely, fairly priced, decent kitchen and showers. It was pretty quiet when we visited, but worth going slightly out of your way to stay there. There is a beautiful walk you can do (quite steep) from right next to the campsite, and you can see a great sunset across the bay. We’d highly recommend both the campsite and the walk!

Beautiful spot and pure nature.
Nice and friendly. Clean. Mini playground. Right next to the sea (Cable Bay). Attention: when it rains the road can be flooded - you might get stuck, no other way out of the Valley!

Lovely location.
10-15 spots, busy but not full when we were there. Friendly owners. Very clean kitchen & bathrooms. Some issues with the free wifi (150 MB) that kept dropping out but otherwise a very pleasant stay. We recommend!

It was awesome little place.
Friendly staff, good amenities, and fantastic location.
We had a good spot in one of the powered sites close to the tramp for the kids. Lots of families there and friendly tourists.
Would recommend to all
