Nothing like the website photos unfortunately! We booked a “bush site” we were completely away from the camp in a tiny area up a very steep hill (lucky we had a 4wheel drive but that struggled even in 4WD to get up there) we couldn’t even fit our car in our site. None of the bush sites were numbered so was very hard to find, so muddy and damp we couldn’t stay there we had to leave and find somewhere else to stay so lost over $300 dollars then had to pay for somewhere else to stay! Just to get to
Friendly reception but I would not pay 75$ for two persons + van again for not having warm showers included and standing directly next to a wetland (never had so many mosquitoe bites before).
Total disgrace, paid our money got to site and left. Only terrible site on our travels all the way from Queenstown. Person in office lovely. Rinkers yard in our minds. This is the most expensive site we have come across. Go to top 10 stayed there for three nights.
Callie and Ant were super helpful! I arrived during a town-wide blackout and they were friendly and accommodating. Felt safe as a solo female traveler too. Clean facilities. Also a good place to spot kiwi birds at night if you have a red light.
A beautiful nature campsite with lots of birds and, if you're lucky, kiwis. Definitely too expensive: $44 in winter for one person. Showers are an extra $2. Kitchen equipment is often unusable and broken. The price/performance ratio isn't good. Shawn is very friendly and helpful.
Amazing to see and hear Kiwi’s on both nights! Nice open site however the main disappointment was that most of the facilities were out of order, and some looked to have been that way for a while, even heard a staff member moaning… only 2/6 washing machines / driers worked, neither of the two stoves / ovens worked and one of the two BBQ’s was out of action. A decent location to Russell and the kiwi’s are the main selling point, which is why we booked the place!
We booked one of the powered site. Shane was very helpful and friendly at check in and leaving. It is $2 for the shower but the facilities are clean and tidy. We could hear kiwis during the night, other bird life roams throughout the park as well.
A super pleasant nature campsite with friendly staff. We've never seen such a fantastic swimming pool on our trip. There are adequate restrooms, Wi-Fi, a kitchen... And best of all, with a lot of patience, we were able to spot our first kivi in the wild late in the evening.
Lovely campsite with almost a guaranteed chance to see kiwi! Spend two nights here.
Not worth the money, you have to pay extra for a shower and it was ice cold. Facilities were fine, they only offer minimal wifi.
