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.

Geweldige plek, de faciliteiten zijn prima, vooral gezien de prijs van deze camping in vergelijking met de anderen in de omgeving. Ik heb de eigenaar niet ontmoet sinds hij niet in de buurt was, maar nog steeds zeer vriendelijk en responsief via e-mail!

De eigenaar is erg aardig en behulpzaam. We kwamen spontaan en vrij laat en konden een plek met elektriciteit te krijgen. In de avond rijden we naar Hot Water Beach, ongeveer 3 km afstand.

Als u op zoek bent naar een aangedreven site, ga hier niet als er veel regen is als het overstroomt.We rijden van Auckland, helaas was er geen plek voor ons om te gaan.

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.
