Great camping. Enough space on Saturday night in March. Powered and unpowered available. Spacious set up. Shower and toilet building is old but reasonably clean. Kitchen is also old but nice and very clean. Everything available. You hear still some noise from the road during the day but snachts especially the river. We paid 38 dollars for 1 night unpowered. Good phone signal and with the kitchen is wifi.

Good phone signal and loads of space on a Friday night in March, I stayed here after exploring the Kakahi Grotto glow worms. (Absolutely worth the detour!). A nice and tidy site with basic amenities, I phoned to check-in at 10pm, but I'm not even sure they'd have needed that as I paid online. Heads up strict checkout at 10am, or you're charged extra 10$/hour. Other than that would absolutely recommend :)

This is a nice camp, doesn't deserve bad reviews. Yes, you phone to say you there, a pleasant young lady says to pick your site & comes to you later for payment, with eftpos machine. The 2 showers have been retiled & no water timer. Toilet room old but common in NZ. Kitchen is fine. The rates are very reasonable at only $26.50 for power & $22.50 non power per person.

Worthwhile river loop walk with some spectacular trees. However, the camping ground is poorly maintained. There was no one on reception, we had to contact by phone to check in. Power connection was no problem. Great shower pressure and super hot water but toilets were sub-standard. The kitchen looked well appointed but the toaster we used only had two out of four elements working. Overall, lots of potential but badly in need of some well overdue maintenance and love and attention. Poor value.

Lots of Tui in the trees. Small bush walk at the back and river in front of the site. Hot showers, Kitchen, BBQ and bathrooms and laundry.

Stay away from this campsite. Guests are treated like dirt. The reception is never open and they only accept cash. We wanted to extend our stay for another night, but the lady was rather annoyed that I was there to pay. Since we were still talking to other travelers in the kitchen after checkout, she threatened to charge us another $20 per person. It was a mistake to stay here. Plus, there's only Wi-Fi in the kitchen, and it wasn't particularly clean either.

Arrived late (around 20:15), reception was closed, in the discription it said it closes at 21:30. Payed cash and was told to strictly abide by the checkout time, if not $10 pp per hour extra. Was a bit unfriendly. Showers are hot, but stalls are not very clean (dirt/hair) and limited in getting dressed. (Could use a plastic chair/stool). Summary: a bit expensive for what you get and not very friendly irt checkout.

Lovely site with showers and laundry. On a river but gets noise of road and trains.

just next to a river you can take a lovey dip:) came without a booking arround 5:30pm and it had loads of space. kitchen, bathrooms&laundry was clean and good. we stayed a night to get to the forgotten world tour, which was perfect as it is a 5 minute drive away!

Just Everything you need, nice and clean bathrooms.
