  • I stayed here 4 days.

    It's great camping ground. It's 100 meters from the beach. Bathrooms and kitchens are all tidy. Tha manger Rachel is a kind woman. I am going to be back definitely.

  • Good campground ~ we needed somewhere to stay for one night and it was perfect, clean tidy and good location and the staff were so friendly.

    There was only 3 toilets open in the womens loo block which seems a bit silly considering there was quite a few people here. Quite pricey at $20 per person too but nice.

  • Do not go to this camp ground!!!

    Very rude staff who will kick you out for no reason.

    Camp manager approached me in an intimidating way asking why I parked me car where I did, I said it's busy I was looking for a park. He then asked if i'd been drinking, I said excuse me? He then said that I'm not staying at the camp. I tried talking with another staff member and she became very aggressive toward me and defensive of her boss saying that he would not act without reason you must have done something. They seem not to care about treating guests with hospitality, more like it's their camp and they will kick you out if they want to.

    The presence of security guards I found intimidating, like a prison.

  • We stayed here in our tent for 3 days and the only reason we came here was because our two dogs was allowed to join us.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will be back as long as our dogs may accompany us. We recommend this campground to others. It is clean and the staff are friendly. Close to the beach and the shops.

  • Great place to stay.

    It’s a popular place so book in first. Bathroom facilities were excellent and clean. Kitchen has toaster, kettle, fridges and convection oven these were tidy and clean but table was so sticky would have been nice if people using it actually wiped down surfaces after use. Would stay here again was close to beach and shops.

  • Lovely campsite with plenty of site space for a tent/camper.

    Good facilities - BBQ ran out of gas and the owners very kindly replaced the cannister immediately so we could cook dinner. Reasonably priced and excellent access to the beach. The town itself is gorgeous with a couple of local very friendly bars!

  • Stayed a night taking advantage of it being dog friendly in the off season.

    Very friendly owners even offer $1.00 coins added onto your site cost when checking in. $1.00 for a hot 5 or 6 min shower is great value. Also hopefully this would stop people hogging showers for long periods of time which happens at some sites during the busy season. Clean facilities. 2 mins to the beach and town. Hard to beat. Will we stay again, certainly. Would we recommend it, absolutely.

  • Good experience.

    $20 a night for 1 person non powered site- a little expensive but most coromandel campsites charge around this. $1 for a 6 min hot shower, facilities are clean. Friendly owners.

  • We were reluctant to stay here given the bad reviews.

    However we did not want to cycle 30 km further to the next campsite on our route so we decided to stay. A pleasant surprise. The camp is clean, friendly and well run. Location is good. Kitchen is spacious and clean. Showers are $1. The town is very nice. I can’t understand the other reviewers!

  • at $18pp for a van site, typical price for a holiday park, perhaps even cheap for the area, but we always feel its slightly overpriced, esp since showers are not included, they are 50cents for a short

    5min. still, nice location on the beach, impeccably clean facilities, 50mb free wifi, outdated but cozy tv room. we had the place to ourselves in june, not sure if we got winter rates.
