    Very good campsite for a very nice city Nothing to say about it is a great step to have a good time However, if you are bathing in the river you doubt the papi in the white house who looks at the ass of the girls with twins,it is quite disturbing and misplaced on his part

    A great spot by the river. The Dawson’s Hotel is very good. The town could have a QR code donation to support the town and upgrades.

    A good spot by the river in a nice town with clean flushing toilets nearby. Dawsons hotel bar is worth going to. There were spare spaces both nights we stayed.

    Super nice campground by the river, it’s an ideal stop in between Nelson & the West Coast. Reefton town is so quaint with a supermarkets/pharmacy/cute cafes. Two flush toilets nearby and a public swimming pool (4.50$ cash)

    Nice freecamp spot near river, 100 m to public toilet. Possible to get portable water refill and a dump station. Try the breakfast at Broadways tearoom and bakery 😋

    We were just going to drive through Reefton but so glad we didn’t. We pulled in in our motorhome at 2pm and the spot was so lovely on the river and we also spotted Dawsons Pub across the way, we decided to stay. Not many spots and by the end of the day it was nearly full. Very interesting little town to walk around. Very quiet. Recommend a visit to the Reefton Distillery.

    A nice place, easy to find right next to the little city. We had less parking possibilities due to very big puddles because it was raining a lot before we arrived. Other than that, sweet little spot. Facilities right next door.

    Reefton was a surprise gem worth parking up at. The freedom parking spots are pretty clearly shown and the toilets provided were clean and flushing. The history trail is worth a walk, and the shops and restaurants appeared nice. A random Wild West feel to the place which created plenty of character.
