Owner had recently died, so family were trying to run it from Hamilton. Meant I had to pay in cash in an honesty box. Cash available at the petrol station for a small fee. About half the sites were permanent and nobody was home. So I had the whole place to myself. Kitchen, toilets and wash house all dated but clean and tidy. The weather was brilliant and kawhia was lovely.

Great place, facilities are fine, especially considering the price of this camp compared to the others in the area. Haven’t met the owner since he wasn’t around, but still very friendly and responsive through email!

The owner is very nice and helpful. We arrived spontaneously and quite late and were able to get a place with electricity. In the evening we drove to Hot Water Beach, about 3km away.

If your looking for a powered site don't go here if there has been heaps of rain as it floods. We drove from Auckland, sadly there was no where for us to go. He did suggest the other camp grounds but their prices were almost double.

Stayed here one night at an unpowered sight and had a great experience! Clean facilities including showers and kitchen. Great value for money plus owner Garry was very friendly! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic Motor Camp!! Just spent a night here! Garry the host was such a nice, down to earth chap and really knowledgable and helpful about the area. We had an unpowered site, plenty of space and the grounds were kept immaculate, great facilities and just a 5 minutes walk down to the waterfront. Loved it! Thanks for having us! Find us at www. Saltyskin. Blog if you’re touring!

Everything is very clean but we are a little tight as sardines. The owner is very friendly and the showers hot. Good as an emergency campsite

Sorry about that comment by that lady she was very rude because I haven’t updated the website

The guy managing the place is quite rude and hostile. He is falsely and boastfully, knowingly advertising the fee per night online, then charges more when you arrive. Then argues that is not false advertising and walks away from you. The campsite is awful for tents anyway.

Cheaper campsite than the other one. Paid per campervan parking for 2 people. Clean facilities and good working condition. Its just no shade from the sun, can't really stay there during the day even inside the van.
