Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, plenty of space in the kitchens & bathrooms.

Great location with lots to do nearby.

You need to pay for hot water in the shower ($1 for 6 mins)

We accidentally stayed on this side of Abel Tasman Nat Park, but we are glad we did.

We wanted to catch the cruises that mostly depart on the east side of the national park (check out Katerikeri). BUT we had a great time exploring Pohara, the beach, Molly B’s and the Farewell Spit (great loop hike with sheep)! We ended up staying two nights and booking a Abel Tasman sea cruise the third day… and just drove around to meet the boat. CJ (at check in) was amazing, knowledgeable and extremely hospitable. Thanks CJ!!

Has a great location right on the beach - the shower block is about 25m from the sand!

I paid $35 to camp in a tent for one night, which seemed relatively expensive. The ground was level and not very stony, so it was a comfortable night.

The kitchen has ovens, hobs, fridges, water boilers. There are no communal crockery or cutlery so you need your own.

You have to pay for showers - they are trying to save water I suppose, at the same time the price to stay is rather high.

Good site right on the beach.

Campsites don’t have a direct view but the beach is a 23 second walk. Facilities are a dated but very clean. Staff was amazing.

Had dinner in Takaka at Roots and lunch the next day at the Mussel Inn. Recommend both.

Terrible place.

we spent one night here and it was far too long. too expensive, everything is extra paid I was surprised that I didn't have to pay extra for chargeing a phone without throw a few dollars to the wall. Super crowded. car by the car can be heard farting in the tent next tent. dirty beach and water. did I mention that it's expensive. every other place nearby seems better !!!

Stayed here in May and we could have had any spot that we liked.

Nice facilities with clean, hot, but pay as you go showers.

Right on a really nice walking beach.

Would highly recommend.

What an amazing place!!

Excellent facilities, right on the beach and close to Takaka for shopping/dining etc. Pohara is a great base to explore the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks.

The campsites are large and flat and we felt really secure staying there.

We would highly recommend staying a few days to explore the whole of Golden Bay.

A lovely place, with a discount it was $41 a night for two adults, we were told to park where we liked so we went right next to the boat ramp.

A lovely place, with a discount it was $41 a night for two adults, we were told to park where we liked so we went right next to the boat ramp. The tide was full and came right up to the grass and went out a real long way by low tide, not much in the way of shellfish. The camp facilities were nice and clean and the boss was friendly, it was a pleasant three day stay. There's a good equipment shop outside the camp with everything you could want, hardware, food, drinks, bait etc

DON'T miss out going to the salmon farm down the road, catch your own salmon and pay $22 a kg for it, they will smoke it or you can take it away and do your own which is what we did, yum!

50c for a 6 minute hot shower was the best 50c spent!

Thought this was cheap and helps to keep the queues down in the busy periods. Hot water was for the full 6 minutes unlike previous reviewers. Great facilities, toasters, ovens, instant hot water, outdoor grill etc. San Souci restaurant across the road was a nice treat (book before 4pm). Camp ground super busy over summer holidays but still managed to get a space at 3pm for that evening.

Cons: really expensive.

50 ct for a shower on top feels like a real joke. Raise the fee for 2$/day, the people would pay it just because of the location and the "funny" 50 ct. thing would be history!

Pros: all what is furthermore. Very good facilities, friendly staff, not too cramped and wonderful sites for motorhomes next to a beautiful beach. Wi-Fi worked fine! Worth every $ !!!
