Operating Season And Hours

We are open year round.

In Summer our office is open from 7 am until 7pm 7 days a week. Occasionally we do need to close throughout the day, or a little earlier in the evening so we can spend time together as a family - but we don't have a gate that closes - so you can arrive a bit later.
In Winter our office is open from 8 am until 6 pm, but we are often around outside of those hours too - if the door is unlocked, pop in - if it is locked come back in the morning.

    11May24.

    2 adults. $40 powered site.

    Office closed so we set up for the night. Eventually found someone to pay the following morning.

    The lounge, kitchen, toilets and showers were very good. Plenty of space in the showers.

    There doesn’t appear to be a website or opportunity for advance bookings. This caught out one guy who arrived on a bicycle after the office was closed hoping for a cabin. Couldn’t make contact so set up his tent anyway. It was a very cold night so he bedded down in the lounge, good move.

    No WiFi either.

    But for lack of website and no WiFi I would have given them a 10.

    $45 p/n for an unpowered site - 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs.

    We would usually pay that for power so were guttered but nowhere else to stay so it did! The owners weren’t super welcoming. But the unpowered sites were the best anyway! Views of the mountain, close to the really great park (a cool little treehouse, giant chess, sandpit the works). Amenities fantastic!! Brand new kitchen, brand new toilets and showers. Showers are spacious with 2 shelves to put your clothes! Hot & free!! There is a cute little river walk plus painted fairy doors the kids loved. A cool bike jumps track near it too.

    Super camping avec un très bon rapport qualité prix Les sanitaires sont neufs, très pratiques et très propres La laundry était super efficace et peu chère Plein d'installations pour les enfants

    1 point en moins car les deux personnes qui nous ont accueillis n'étaient pas franchement agréable, en dehors de ça tout était parfait

    The Campground was alright.

    Toilets and Showers were pretty nice and also the kitchen was very well equipped. However there was a lot of random stuff laying around all over the campground.

    Great view of Mt ruapehu for sunset

    Extremely friendly staff, great to chat to about the area/ Whanganui river trip

    Such great value at 15pp with fully stocked kitchen. Friendly staff who kindly helped us find their glowworm Dell after hours! The perfect place to wind down after the tongariro crossing. Would definitely come back

    Very friendly and great service!

    We kept our car here whilst canoeing down the river (with the associated 'Whanganui River Canoes'), and stayed in one of the cabins the night we returned. Simple, cosy and nice - Raetihi Holiday Park had everything we needed!

    Brand New shower & toilet block with lovely free hot showers.

    Very good value for money at $30 for 2 ppl on non powered site. They can arrange shuttles to the bridge to nowhere bike track & canoe trips which I highly recommend. Also allow you to leave vehicles overnight while you're away.

    Not quite the standard of a top 10 for cleaning etc but worth a stay.

    Simple campsite for $15 per person for an unpowered campervan spot.

    $4 to use washing machine and $4 to use dryer. Hot shower and toilet facility was very outdated and was not clean, but a new facility was under construction. Kitchen and dining room seemed new and were quite spacious. Owners were very friendly.

    Really well kept campsite, full kitchen and large social areas with free high pressure hot showers!!

    Great games available if you want them, best value for money site we've found while travelling the north island. PERFECT for after the Alpine crossing. Quiet too, only reason for a 9 and not a 10 was the slightly dated shower building.

    Thanks for a great stay!

    Although not the most charming campsite, this is a brilliant place to stop after the Tongariro crossing.

    The site has some views of the mountains, and is set back from the main road in a grassy enclosure. It was a little bit difficult to find a flat non powered site for our van but but the cooking and washing facilities are clean and well maintained. The showers are hot, powerful and best of all FREE! It was well worth the cost after being exhausted from the crossing!
