Great view.
Friendly and funny staff. Clean amenities. Be careful with the showers because the warm water might be a bit buggy. Therefore better carry an extra dollar for a second warm water supply (you'll get it back at the counter).

Nice quiet campground right on the beach.
Falicities are clean, warm shower is 1 dollar. Little kitchen but equipped.

Friendly staff.
Not too crowded on Friday night mid December. $30 per person is the best deal in the area imo- falling asleep to the waves and waking up next to the beach is amazing. Kitchen and paid showers are ok. Lots of friendly dogs around. Will stay here next time we’re in the area.

Receptionist was really friendly, great atmosphere and beautiful location.
Powered site for two adults was 52$ and we had a great view of the sea with sunset. Kitchen, toilet and shower was very clean! Shower time is limited, but that didn't matter to us. In addition, the receptionist was very relaxed and we were allowed to check out the next morning at any time when we wanted to. We were very happy about that and had a very relaxed next morning. You have to pay for the wifi and the network was not so good...but personally that didn't really bother us either.

As second visit here to this kiwi iconic camp.
Early December and it is quiet and 1/4 full. Later in the month and over summer it could be vbusy. The camp office and manager are fantastic along with the amazing sunsets.The facilities are older but clean and tidy. Dog friendly at this time. Can't wait to come back

We had planned to stay at NZMCA campground but left and came here.
Office was lovely to deal with. Dog friendly. Nice wee bush walk to huge Kauri tree. Check tides if you want to swim as it was out when we were there in the evening and out again in the morning.
Paid showers but clean and toilets good. Price ok at $22 per person.
Nice flat site can also go over the hill to next camp only long drop but not overcrowded owned same people.

First night’s stay in New Zealand, we had a great view of the sea from our spot and was perfect for a swim in the morning!
We were woken up at around 7-8 as the owner’s 1950s tractor came past, not the end of the world. Nice dog followed him around the whole time, which was great to watch. Lovely walk directly above the campsite into the forest. We also walked to the next beach, but just found a load of drunks who were freedom camping, we swiftly heading back. Would recommend site.

We loved this place.
Had a tent site on a level higher than the caravan city. Beautiful bays to explore on hire paddle boards. Saw some beautiful stingrays around the bay from Tucks bay. Deserted bay for a private swim. The best part was the 1000 year old Kauri Pine 15 minutes walk up the hill. What an amazing tree!!
Wish we hadn’t headed of to the Bay of Islands, wish we’d just stayed here.
Hello our Aussie friends, you guys were awesome too - see you back in NZ next time

Stayed here for 2 nights during late August.
Very clean. Quite quiet this time of year which we preferred. $15p/p for a powered site was reasonable. 50c for 5 minute shower. Kitchen and bathrooms both clean and to a good standard. Good walks near by. Highly recommend.

It's a nice spot right at the ocean.
You can chose the pitch if enough space. We had a direct view on the beach/ocean. The beach is soso: Stones, rocks and shells. No real sandy beach. But we and our son (4) enjoyed it anyway. Nice sunset. Small playground, small coffee shop with small range of fast food too; facilities as showers (.50$)/toilets old fashion but ok. A bit far away depends where your camper stands. Laundry and kitchen/ lounge clean. It's a very local motor camp with a lot of local families, a few cabins and some permanent campers. Very busy during the day because it has a boat ramp. Very independent, nice location if you like nature. Walking to town, for us too far... ~3km. You can hire kayaks at the site.

Friendly place right on the beach run by a nice couple.
Good kitchen facilities with plenty of pans and utensils, a small TV lounge and clean showers ($0.50) and toilets. there is a well stocked shop for essentials. Only gripe I had was that after putting the coin in for a shower the water never got hot but fortunately the weather was nice!
