About a 5 min walk down to the beach. Cost us around $35 a night for 2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs on powered site in Autumn. There are lots of permanent residents but they’re quiet & friendly & the camp is so big you barely see them. For the size of the camp the amenities seem small but I never saw another person in the toilet or shower the 2 nights we were there. It’s $1 for 5 mins of hot shower. The park for the kids is awesome, lots to do for them. Then 5 mins down the road at the beach is another amazing park. The beach there is incredible, the cliffs. You just have to go. The owners are lovely.

One of our favourite spots on our three week North Island campervan tour.
Very friendly hosts have done a great job with the grounds and facilities. Peaceful and private sites, though there’s no real need to get an ocean view site like we did as the view of the beach isn’t that great. Great wee cafe on site, plenty for the kids to do, and a summer lifeguard patrolled beach makes this a great place for families. We will be back here next year

I really wanted to like this place.
It started raining so we were looking for power and wifi to spend a cosy night watching Netflix and keeping dry. The front desk was friendly and welcoming, and it was fairly easy to find.
At $38 for a powered spot for 2 people, we were surprised this didn’t include showers.
Showers are a dollar coin per 6minutes, including the time for the older setup to warm up. The front desk will give you change but you need either an NZ debit card or cash to do this.
The wifi is spotty at best and cuts out every 15-20min so you have to re-login, defeating our night in. There is no mobile signal, so you are a bit reliant on it.
We had to mop the van out after staying here as while the spot to park is hard standing, it’s very narrow and getting in and out meant going through the deep muddy tracks left by previous guests and then dodging the potholes filled with water to get to the shower block.

These new owners took over the camp on the day of the lock-down.
What a hospital pass. They have made changes, presented every one either permanent or casual with a friendly and outgoing attitude. So from now on .May 2020. You can expect a wonderfully friendly and enjoyable camp ground.

Lovely campsite, very quiet when we were there.
Easy walk to the beach, and then miles to walk in either direction. Playground with flying fox at beach. Shop is vlosed out of season. Showers operate on $1 coin, temp and water pressure were fine, time was fine for good wash and rinse.

This place is so good, I ended up staying for three nights.
Everything is clean and well maintained, except the stoves. Only half of the plates are working... the owner seemed surprised... Finaly I managed to cook my meal.
It's 20 $pp for a powered site, much space for everyone, showers 1$, 3 $ for laundry.
Close to the beautiful beach.
1 GB free Wifi a day, very fast one.

The campground ist nice, and near to a stunning beach.
Lots of things to do for kids and a playground at the beach which is also fun for adults. Try out the flying fox!
The facilities are ok but the toilets and showers could be cleaner.

We loved the friendly new hosts and their cat Cici (the campsite cat)!
Great access to the black sands of Kai Iwi Beach for a relaxing walk. The huge trees washed up on the shore fell from the eroded cliffs in a storm a year or so ago. Cosy kitchen and dining area - we sat outside and watched the sunset. Gorgeous! Very happy memories here.
