Best campsite so far. Hot showers with very strong water pressure. Everything is very clean. Large, well-equipped kitchen area with refrigerator, freezer, and oven.

Three beautiful campgrounds with views of the sea. The kitchen is also great. The owner is very arranging and borrowed us pellet to go to make our hole in the sand. He also provides kayak. Of course our best campsite on the North Island.

Nice little campground. Owner lives on site. So no issues with noise. Feel safe and sound. Free spades for hot water beach.

Honestly, as a woman traveling alone, go for it without hesitation. Everything is clean, the people are friendly, and the view is incredible. If you ask, the owner will tell you exactly what time to go to the hot water beach and will even provide you with a shovel. It's a peaceful and amazing place!

This campsite is by far the best we've stayed at during our six-week New Zealand vacation. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. At $40 including electricity for a two-person campervan, the price is absolutely fair. There are free kayaks available for exploring the inlet. On our first evening, we were even treated to fresh smoked fish he had caught that day. The site is quiet and just a five-minute drive from Hot Water Beach, where free shovels are also provided. Highly recommended!

- very peaceful campsite - arrived there at 10pm and could still stay - nice facilities, big kitchen, clean bathrooms

The owner was at a birthday party and the place was actually fully booked, but after a quick phone call, I was able to stay. The kitchen was superbly equipped, there was a lounge, and a toilet.

$20 per person, facing the sea. Toilets, hot showers, Wi-Fi and even a jacuzzi!! Kitchen with toaster, oven, microwave, kettle... The best paid campsite we've been to.

We absolutely loved this place. The host and his mate were so friendly and hospitable. They caught a whole lot of snapper and shared it with everyone. Fresh and smoked 😋 The camp was spacious, flat and neatly mowed with waterfront views. Kawhia is a gorgeous little town full of history with a little waterfront museum and wharf. Waitangi Day in the park was really sweet with all the locals coming out for some awesome kai. 👌 😋💓Kawhia was our first camp on our trip, and definitely the best.

View is amazing from most sites. Facilities are rustic 😩 Hooks missing in toilets, sink taps spray water everywhere. Only able to wet one hand at a time 😒 Bins overflowing, BBQs are filthy, unusable. Kitchen filthy. Not much in Kawhia. Felt like we were in the Deliverance movie. Buy groceries before you get there. Everything closed on Mondays. The owner walks around offering ppl fish that he has caught which is lovely and free kayaks. View is great
