Fantastic campsite.
Stayed in a powered site with a motorhome for 1 night (2 adults) - good value for money compared to places we've stayed before. Big and spacious campsite with brilliant toilets and hot showers (they are free but on 6 minute timers). Didn't use the kitchen or laundry facilities but they looked good. Pleasant staff and everything was well maintained and immaculate. Would definitely stay again.

Loved this park.
Friendly people, clean facilities, and Geraldine is a nice little town. Good coffee and cake at walking distance (Barker’s, must try). Cheese too, if you’re into that. Campervan, family with kids (2, 4).

This Top 10 Park is exactly what I look forward to when looking for a place to camp for a night or a week.
The park has manicured grass, abundance of trees and nice flat, level gravel parking spaces. There is a picnic table and plenty of room between sites. The facilities are very clean and kitchen is spacious. Town is within walking distance as well as several attractions. The camp hosts are present and very helpful. The price is one of the most reasonable we’ve stayed at over our 6 weeks traveling.

Our last night camping in New Zealand was at the nicest campsite!
Honestly the best place we stayed in 5 weeks in New Zealand. This place is immaculate, big trees, clean facilities top to bottom, and a short walk into town. Friendly staff, reasonable price.
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a great review. We are delighted you had a great experience on your last night in New Zealand.

Great little ground and fantastic facilities!
It was quiet at night and nice to listen to the birds. Toilets and showers were extremely clean. Hot showers are 6 minutes. Washing & drying facilities take coins. Kitchen area is kept immaculate also. Would happily stay again. ☺️

We found this camp very clean and tidy, well signed, child friendly and managers accomadating, considering we arrived late (after hours).
The book exchange, free food that has been left, the availability of cooking essentials was all very convienant. The rooms were new, linen clean, heaters adequant, and overall we were very impressed. We would reccommend this camp to anyone and would use it again.
A very belated response, but thank you for your great comments about our park, we hope to see you again in the future

We had a great experience here.
The hosts were very helpful and most accommodating. We accidently left an item behind, they searched for it and then posted it to us - fantastic. Park and facilities are clean and well appointed with a very relaxed atmosphere. Just a 2 minute walk to the town centre. Hhighly recommend a stay here.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We are always happy to return, left items back to their owners and pleased that you enjoyed your stay and the tranquillity of our park setting, situated in the centre of town.

Superb campsite on a lovely setting.
Great showers, kitchen and laundry with communal washing line. Owners really helpful. It was a lovely place to rest after our climb up to the Mueller hut. We took the opportunity of visiting there Geraldine Observatory during our stay and that was also a great experience. Geraldine is a delightful town and we'd highly recommend Verde's for coffee, breakfast, lunch ... Sadly not open on the evenings.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your lovely comments. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and Geraldine itself, hopefully we will see you again in the future.

Very nice place.
All Top 10 classics as usual. And little public pool across the street.
Two especially positives to mention:
1. very nice friendly staff, that helped us a lot, when the road closures due to flooded Rangitata River occurred. Thanks again!
2. the best dumping station ever, with water hose and gray water hose already in place. Just plug and play :D Nothing to be taken out of our Van. Great thing!!
Thank you very much for the fantastic review Richard. We were more than happy to help with the road issues and glad that we were helpful! We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you again in the future.

Facilities are great and clean.
If you want to be in Geraldine downtown is perfect. We were expecting better natural views. It is in the middle of the village.
Thank you for leaving us a great review Pedro, we are sorry about the views. We do have lots of different types of trees in the park which a lot of our guests enjoy but we are in the town of Geraldine itself which gives us a very handy location to the town center. We are pleased to see you enjoyed the rest of your stay with us.Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.

Camping bien situé par rapport au centre-ville et calme par rapport à la route.
Nous avons commencé par placer notre tente sur un emplacement prévu pour, les emplacements sont bien situés , nous sommes un peu isolés. Mais trop vent ce soir là donc nous avons fini dans un "cabin" . Très propre et spacieux, avec chauffage et rideaux, par contre pas de couverture. À vous de prévoir. Les sanitaires étaient propres, l'eau chaude n'est pas payante mais a un minuteur. La cuisine est très grande avec une jolie table centrale. Nous avons été bien accueillis par le personnel.
Thank you for the great review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. I'm glad that we had a cabin available for you and that you enjoyed staying here. We hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.

Thank you for your comments, yes we also think Geraldine is special and that we have a tranquil park setting here at Geraldine TOP10, that you can wake to the sound of the bird life and explore our village by foot, with river/forest walks ,shops, cafes and museum to mention a few just just a few hundred meters away from the park. Hope you can revisit some day

We stay 1 night in winter with a van.
Very big kitchen and clean, although the heater was not working and was cold to stay there. Common living room with heater :) .
Shower with timer, i dont like it, and with 2 tubes, one for cold and pther for hot watter, so never could have warm. Better to have 1 tube for both runnig; still everything clean. Nice sites with ground and gravel and tables. The family running it was kind.
Thank you for your comments, The heater in the kitchen does have a timer on the side, so maybe that was the problem. We try, with your help to conserve power, as we found people just leaving the heater on, and walking away. The showers do have mixers, and have abundance of continual hot water. We are pleased you enjoyed our park setting. Hope the rest of your travels went well

Very central location to a couple of great restaurants and minimal mud for Motorhome parking.
Good space between motorhomes. The play areas were in need of repair and renovation. Facilities small and getting old but ok.
Hi Vanessa, thank you for taking the time to review our park. We are glad your enjoyed your stay in our tranquil park close to town, and we will pass on your feedback to the owners about the play areas. Many thanks

My first Top 10 park in NZ and I loved it!
- genuine welcome we received upon arrival by Michael where he even walked us to our campervan pitch
- the immaculate toilets/showers (free hot water for 6 minutes)
- huge kitchen with 2 stoves, 2 microwaves fridge/freezer
- laundry with 2 washers (3x$1 coins) and 2 dryers (2x$2 coins for 45 minutes but we had to use it again as our clothes weren't fully dry)
- TV room with lounges and a heater
- 5 minute walk to bottle shop and supermarket
Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Hi Brooke,
Thank you for the absolutely fantastic review you have left for our park. We are glad your stay was up to expectations, and that we had all the facilities on offer you required. Our close proximity to town is a huge advantage for all guests staying with us, and we hope you choose to stay with us again in the future

Overall was nice and clean, just that the free hot shower only allowed for 6 minutes and toilets were cold.
Kitchen has 1 tiny heater so was freezing cold too.
Hi Isabel, thank you for taking the time to review our park. Our showers are on 6 minute timers to keep queuing at a minimum over peak times, however if you want a longer shower you are welcome to reach out and press the button again for twice as long! We take on board your comment about the heater in kitchen as our kitchen facilities are being upgraded over the next year. We hope you choose to stay with us again in the future.

Another of our favourite sites.
A lovely spacious site with a good sized plot amongst the trees. Great facilities. Very friendly lady on reception. Home made scones and plums in the kitchen were an added bonus. Very handy for walking into town.
glad to hear you enjoyed the scones they were left over from staff morning tea

Lovely campsite with very nice facilities close to town.
Everything very clean, safe and convenient. Probably best for families and people less inclined to explore, but a very comfortable stop over.
thanks for your review hope to see you again one day
