Very interesting camping site with all spots nestled into pockets in the surrounding forest.
Felt very cozy and wild at the same time. Amenities are OK but nothing special. The ever present sheep jokes will put a smile on your face though :)
One of the better sites on our trip.

Definitely recommend!
You can tell this place was created by fellow travellers, they’ve thought of everything. The showers are clean and hot, lots of power points, even hair dryers in the bathrooms. The campground is the perfect location while also offering privacy. Self check in was easy. Enjoyed my stay here!

Cheapest spot in Franz and a nice jungle feel thanks to all the fauna around.
Showers are great and have hairdryer & straighteners available. Toilets all clean and flushing! Dump station & water available, all tap water is drinking water too, but no refuse/rubbish/recycling. Pitches are nicely spread out, wifi free and ok.

Amazing spot, cheaper than anywhere else in Franz.
Lovely secluded pitches. Powered sites were already full when we got there, but loads of unpowered. WiFi was good. Kitchen a bit small and basic but a great spot.

+ views of the mountains and a short drive or Walk to Franz Josef viewing point
- Large vehicles might find it difficult to manoeuvre around the site.
- Can’t pre-book but you can choose your spot when you arrive.

Very large, scenic, set amongst magical woods, for all types of vehicles (powered and non- powered site, small and large cars etc).
Visited Jan 16 - 17 Jan 2025
Very large, scenic, set amongst magical woods, for all types of vehicles (powered and non- powered site, small and large cars etc). Shower facilities good quality but only two for a very very large site. Kitchen was abismal - very very slow to heat up, very low power, only two units (for whole site)!!!
Actual individual site per vehicle so good and sectioned by natural foliage part of the forest.
-
2.5/5
Pros - great location, fantastic views of the mountains, plenty of space and the sites have illusion of privacy due to hedge position.
WiFi is included and decent.
Cons - kitchens inadequate and poorly kitted out. Toilets and showers have no hand driers and were not especially clean. Shower temperature all over the place. No recycling bins. Felt basic and doesn't compare well to other sites we'd visited before and after

Great value for money, great place.
The layout was lovely for feeling like you have a bit of privacy with each site tucked in amongst the greenery. Some sites had awesome views of the mountains- choose carefully! Lovely friendly staff and a chill vibe. Non powered sites aren’t allocated so bear in mind that if you leave and come back, your favourite spot might have been taken.
Showers were unreal- better than mine at home! Not many of them though; wasn’t an issue for me but I imagine this might be a choke point when it is busier.
Lots of mozzies near the “lake”- would recommend picking a spot not near there…
-
2.5/5
Very crowded and disorganised site- hard to find a spot.
Not enough facilities - we weren’t able to use the kitchen at 5 or 7pm as they were both busy (both outside too so you get eaten alive by sandflies and mozzies).
Very expensive for what it was - we paid $36 for 1 night powered.
Toilets were dirty and sinks in areas stank and were full of stagnant water.
Sorry but would recommend the other campsites in town any day as you pay a little more but get HEAPS more in value.
This was overpriced for what it offers which, beyond the location, isn’t much.

Amazing place, just the way a caravan site should be.
Very affordable ($30pp unpowered for 2 nights), no hidden extras (WiFi, showers, etc. all included. Cute place with individual sites seperated by trees. Loved it! Try to hot tubs next door too!

No bins and no way to throw rubbish into the camping!
Kitchen and bathrooms very very dirty and no maps neither informations given by the owner at your arrival. Definitely disappointing place!

My stay at Orange Sheep was the best on my holidays!
The grounds were beautifully maintained, with stunning native bush which added to the scenic beauty of the place. Each spot is surrounded by native bush and gives such a private feeling to your experience!
The new owner, Elliot, was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout my stay.
Elliot went above and beyond for me! From helping me with tour bookings to sharing local walking trails, his knowledge and passion for the area really made my experience. I had troubles in securing a booking for the hot pools next door and Elliot stepped in and made it happen 👌😎
The facilities were clean, the atmosphere relaxed, and the overall ambiance was inviting. Orange Sheep was the perfect base for exploring the stunning Franz Josef area.
I highly recommend Orange Sheep Campervan Park to fellow travelers. Elliot’s exceptional hospitality and the overall quality of the facilities made my stay memorable, and I can’t wait to return.

Absolutely recommended.
Clean showers and toilettes! Hot showers! WiFi was ok didnt had problems. The kitchen is small and has some pans to offers. Otherwise you need your own equipment. The slots are nice and really welcoming you can have your own space with privacy. The owner took a lot of effort making the Camping side nice welcoming. He also gives nice hiking advices and is very friendly ans helpful! Absolutely recommended was one of my favorite spots in New Zealand

Cheap price, but crowded, even off season.
Bathroom and shower facilities were limited. Private niche for campsites including tables/benches which is nice. The outside kitchen/ dish sinks/ cold water sinks were esthetically pleasing, but hard to use in the dark or when the weather is bad. Overall not as cosy as I had hoped, but still better than the same price DOC campsites.

Great Facilities, close to everything in the town, the holiday park has its own special promo code where you can get discounts on activities in the area!
Showers and toliets where always clean, wifi was great, however no rubbish facilities on site, so that information was incorrect.
Owner is very helpful! I will definitely be back!

Great spot.
All the sites felt really private with little hedges around and many with benches. Wifi included and could access from the van. Good hot showers. Only negative was it was advertised as $15 per person, but the guy doing the registration and payment seemed to pick the price when people arrived. Charged us $16 per person, but others paid $15, $17…a bit of a mixture!
Hi there! There's a $1 per person card fee. No one was charged $17. It was either $15 or $16. Glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay. Happy travels :)

Nothing spectacular but had the basics, showers hot and spacious!
Didnt use the cooking facilities so cant comment but didnt look to great. Wifi dropped in and out. The individual spots gave nice privacy areas with outdoor benches. Needs a bit more night time lighting but the walkway between bushes to shower areas were lit with multicolour rope lights. Lots of potential but not there yet.
Thanks for the feedback. I've just taken over and striving to improve

Top location within Franz Josef (one street back from the Main Street, roughly a 2 minute walk) nice layout which makes it feel like you’re in amongst the jungle.
Cracking views on a clear day too! For the price of an unpowered site ($16) a head it’s good value. Kitchen isn’t the best equipped but there are showers and toilets, the toilets are in good condition.
Thanks!

Beautiful camp area.
$20 per person for a non-powered site. Showers are cold, but clean. Wi-Fi is okay. Nice outdoor cooking area.
HI Taylor
It is great you found the site "beautiful". Just to confirm we offer HOT showers for all guests, can you please email us with the issue you found, I am not aware of any problems (hot water is reliant on electricity so if we suffer a power cut it won't work).
Our price including hot showers is $15 per person, as long as you are two or more people in a van, if you are only one person the price is $15 if you are staying two or more nights or $20 if you are only staying one night.

Really great campsite, nice relaxed vibe and loads of space to choose from.
The showers were really good and hot (and free!), Wi-Fi worked well and the staff were friendly and helpful. So peaceful at night, and the sites are nice and private. Really cool place and very good value 👍

Loved this place.
Many very private spots in shrubbery nooks, with beautiful mountain backdrop. Don't need reservations. Hot showers and bathrooms were nice, didn't see a kitchen but there are outdoor sinks for doing dishes. I got the WiFi to work fine, and some hikes and restaurants are easy walking distance. Would for sure camp here again.
Hi Whitney, it is great to hear you would stay again here. We do have two kitchens - although tucked away slightly in the native forest.
