Fine holiday park, 30 min walk into the city centre.
We paid $55 for two adults on a powered site for the night. Laundry facilities worked well and the kitchen is practical although you have to to to hire cooling utensils if you don’t have your own.

$60 for a powered site.
Clean, but dated bathrooms and kitchen. Sites cared for, nice setting. Cost another $5 for Kitchen pack to use in the kitchen area. Good barbecues. One of the more expensive parks with few of the special features.

Small campsite which is relatively quiet, even though it is in town.
Friendly staff and clean facility.
Too bad that in the kitchen there are no utensils for cooking or eating. Everyone must bring their utensils. Other "Top 10" provided what was needed. For the price it would be appreciated if the facilities were brought up to date, as it is a bit old.
I recommend this camp for 1-2 nights.

We expected more from this top 10 park.
It was clean and the employers were nice but the camper(van) spots are really small and not on grass but on gravel. Facilities were clean though so we still give a 7.

We stayed in this Top 10 for the night while passing through Nelson.
It was easy walking to everywhere you’d like to see in the Nelson city area. Dom, who ran the place, was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. Everything was clean and well looked after.
For ease of access and security we highly recommend this top 10.

The most expensive camp I visit.

Great spot if you want to be close to the town.
Such friendly team working there. Amenities are perfect. It's a quaint campground. If you can, try and book a spot next to the creek, the sound of the water is so soothing.

If you are after a city stay this one is great.
Quiet considering city location- 2km to city heart where lovely restaurants/bars are. $10 in cab. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Clean and lovely amenities even had decent hairdryer.

Too much money for a normal campsite.
Facilities are normal and this spot is close to supermarket and other places at Nelson.

We are staying in a tent and we were disappointed with the site.
There is one small section for all the people staying in tents, the ground there is not even at all. We paid $44
and it was not worth it.
Kitchen is small for the amount of people they cram in the park.

Nice, clean and convenient.
Close to Nelson town. It's a smallish camp with good bathrooms and kitchen equipment.

$87.21. A friendly welcome on a rainy night. A compact site, quite popular as only 2 pitches available. We didn’t book so were lucky to get one. Probably the best toilet and shower blocks we have seen so far in 5 weeks in NZ. Laundry $4 each washer and dryer. Auto detergent. New machines.
No great views but then we are in Nelson City.
A short walk to the centre.

I don’t know what is wrong with this campsite but I’ve been traveling in New Zealand for 2 month and this never happened to me!
We stayed here for 2 nights in the first night someone stole my very expensive powerbank with adapter and cable aswell the powerbank of another guy and the food in the fridge of another guy aswell. When I left another powerbank in the ladies bathroom for no longer than 2 hours the same happened again. This is RIDICULOUS! I don’t know if this is about the staff or anything else but I can’t believe it .
Hi Jenny, we are so sorry to hear that this happened to you, sadly there is always one person that ruins it for everyone! Unfortunately we can not be held responsible for items that go missing while left unattended.
Please feel free to contact us via email if we can be of any further assistance. Happy travels.

I liked this park.
It is small but quant. We were parked in the back by the trees and creek and it was nice. If you want to see Nelson, this works. Downtown is walkable - about 25 minutes. The staff was friendly and the facilities were clean.
Thank you for your comments, it is great to hear that you found our holiday park conveniently located and clean and that our staff were friendly. Hope to see you again soon.

Good city campsite.
Not completely central - half hour walk to town amenities, but fine as a base or one night stay. Good bathrooms, with great showers. Good wifi and not too close to other campers. The dump station is in a bit of an odd place, which means you potentially block others while you dump.
Thank you for your review. I'm pleased to hear that you found our showers great and that we had good wifi.

Very friendly and helpful staff, facilities are very clean, must have been upgraded recently (see older comments), lots are nicely divided and provide enough space (we traveled by camper van).
Four washers and dryers with detergent already included. The centre of town is 2 km walk away, with some nice pubs and breweries. With $45 for a powered site per night this is clearly on the more expensive side, but you get good facilities for it. Wouldn't necessarily recommend this for tents, that area was pretty small.
Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you found our staff friendly and helpful and that our facilities were clean. Hope to see you again soon.

A small site about 30 minutes walk from the centre of Nelson.
The motorhome pitches are on the small side and can be difficult to manoeuvre in/out of, especially if vehicles are parked opposite outside the motel rooms. OK from a 1 or 2 night stay, but probably not for longer. Presence of a family/couple bathroom was a good innovation.
Thank you for your review. I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and thought we were a nice distance from the centre of town.

Convenient small site for a pit stop in Nelson.
Pitches smallish for a large camper van but attractively separated. Didn't see any trouble over the dump site access, but it is poorly placed, so the potential's there. But you can carry your black water cassette to the dump rather than pull up on the bridge. The walk to town is 2km and takes about 30 minutes. There is a daytime only hail and ride bus which passes the gate. Adult fare $2.50 into town. A taxi back in the evening costs around $10.
Thank you for your informative review. I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay with us in our conveniently located holiday park.

Don't bother if you have a tent, the camp is only set up for vans and cabins with room for 5 small tents without vehicle.
New facilities.
Thank you for your review. As we are an inner city holiday park we do not have a lot of grass space for Tents to pitch on. We are primarily set up for camper vans.

Stayed 2 nights.
It was very wet and the camp was full so didn't help our impression ... staff were very friendly and helpful .. Facilities were old and I guess hard to keep clean given the weather and number of people staying..
Thank you for your review. It's a shame you experienced such wet weather during your time in Nelson as it is usually quite a sunny location. It's great to read the staff were friendly and helpful during your stay though.

Nice spot relatively close to town...about 20 minutes walk.
Trees between sites have been trimmed, so there isn't much privacy, but still a great park. Paid $25 for one person in a powered site. 100MB free wifi, and free showers. The toilet/shower house seems almost brand new...very nicely kept. If I stay in Nelson again, I would stay here.
Thank you for your lovely review. I'm thrilled to ready you enjoyed your stay with us so much. We would love for you to come back and stay next time you are in town.

We had a really pleasant two night stay here.
It was a very calm, civilised campsite and felt very safe. The older gent who checked us in was very smiley and friendly. The sites feel really private due to being tree lined, and we had our own fresh water tap and dump station on our plot! 15 minute walk to a very big New World supermarket, 25 minute walk into the city. Nelson is a very sweet little city - we went to the cinema, provincial museum (recommended for early colonial history and Maori culture) and also walked up to the cathedral at the top of the hill. Lots of nice cafes and bars, a few particularly nice looking ones at the foot of the cathedral steps. Recommended!

Stayed here several nights out of convenience.
A nice spot and within walking distance of town if you don't mind a few km. Staff very friendly.
Hello Matthew

Not very close to town.
Very clean facilities and helpful person in office. 'Awkward' site.
Hi Helen.
We are located about 20mins walk from town, it is a nice little walk.
I am unsure about what you mean by "awkward" site.
Thank you for taking time to share your experience, I hope you had a great holiday!

The facilities are very nice and the gentleman who checked us in was very pleasant.
Pretty good internet was available for $5 for 24 hours. The only complaint is that the dump station is in a bad spot. During low season this isn't a problem, but I can see how it would be in high season.
Hi Jake
Thank you for your review!
I appreciate the comments in regards to the dump station, we have plans to upgrade some of our facilities in the future.
I hope you had a great time in Nelson, we hope to see you next time!
