4.5/5
Good spot along the coast!
Very friendly owners 🤙🏼 clean facilities, kitchen, toilets and showers ($2) there weren’t too many people when we stayed so had an intimate and quiet spot. Would definitely go back!

I did not feel welcome here at all!
Unpowered site for 15 $. Power would have been 7 $. Wifi very weak on the side with the unpowered spots. Very unfriendly lady on the entrance. She didn't explain much. I had to ask for everything. Payment only possible by cash or bank transfer. So if your customer chooses bank transfer (due to not having cash) wouldn't you wanna ask them if they need coins for the shower? 2 $ for 6 minutes. Or at least tell them that the shower isn't included in the price?
Campground was very empty. Looked like only long term campers are there.
You could hear birds and the ocean. That was nice. Kitchen and toilets were clean. Quite a big area for camping on both sides. Looks like this place is for sale. Maybe that's the reason for being so grumpy.

Nice place.
Very uncomplicated. Clean lavatories. Though local dog chased the penguins, so none breeding.

Take my two kids here every year!
Hosts are friendly but fair, and the camp retains that old kiwi style with basic facilities and wide open areas for kids to play. Very close to the river, and nice short walk to the beach with walking tracks winding their way through the area. Love it!!

We had a truly magical time here, with plenty of space for our large group and our dogs.
The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The campground is a beautiful, well laid out area and the facilities were always extremely clean. We have decided to make this our new family camping spot, couldn't recommend highly enough.

Very pleasant site.
Friendly owners. Good, cosy kitchen area. Clean toilets. 4 minute $1 showers. $20 for a powered site.
The campsite is an open grassy area which was very water-logged when we were there - this caused a problem when trying to leave. we got stuck in the mud! But quick as a flash the owner (still in her dressing gown) came out to help push, as well as another female camper. A great example of helpful, dont-mind-getting-their-hands-dirty kiwi women! We were very impressed!

Friendly owner.
Though cabin is clean and overall pretty ok, facilities esp kitchen was pretty run down and filthy. If you are picky better avoid. Fast and unlimited free wifi though!

We found this camping ground to be both dirty and unfriendly.The owners didn't introduce themselves .
We had to seek them out in the morning and found they weren't very interested in holding a conversation with us.Still don't know their names, We intoduced ourselves but still no names. The facilities were filthy the mirror you couldn't hardly see through and the toilets were very grubby. We have stayed in many camp grounds and never found any of them in this state. The microwave hadn't been cleaned for quite some time and the dish cloth only fit for the bin,Its an absolute shame as the spot itself is awesome and we could see some work has been done but cleanliness in these camp grounds should be top priority. The only time we saw the owner smile was when we handed them the money for the nights stay. So come on get your act together as there is alternatives at the point and the other camp gound/lodge which we will be using in the future. The 2 grading is only for the location.
