  • We left straight after we arrived because mainly homeless people were staying there and we didn’t feel safe.

  • Enjoyed a fantastic stay in this park.

    Showers are available at the nearby 'Aquatic Centre' for $4 per person. Freshwater and the dump station are easily accessible. The toilets are slightly hidden; you need to go around the big hall to find them on the backside. Look for the very obvious red door; it seems they're not used as frequently as others.

  • Right next to a busy road but quiet after dark.

    Lots of space and other campervans around. $5.50 for swimming and showers with toilets at the pool in the same complex. BP just up the road with toilets as well. Public bathrooms were locked when we were there

  • Great place to spend the night in Whanganui.

    Dump station with clean water available. The park has pools and showers available (for a low cost), plenty of space for big campervans. Good for self contained, as no toilets available after pools close. Green area surrounding parking lot. Free WiFi thanks to inspirenet!!
