Great site, not huge but lots of powered pitches.
We stayed in a kitchen cabin for the night due to a weather warning for rain and it was lovely, nice and spacious, great little kitchenette type thing, nice clean shower and loo block as well.

Fine holiday park, 30 min walk into the city centre.
We paid $55 for two adults on a powered site for the night. Laundry facilities worked well and the kitchen is practical although you have to to to hire cooling utensils if you don’t have your own.

Clean, but dated bathrooms and kitchen. Sites cared for, nice setting. Cost another $5 for Kitchen pack to use in the kitchen area. Good barbecues. One of the more expensive parks with few of the special features.

Small campsite which is relatively quiet, even though it is in town.
Friendly staff and clean facility.
Too bad that in the kitchen there are no utensils for cooking or eating. Everyone must bring their utensils. Other "Top 10" provided what was needed. For the price it would be appreciated if the facilities were brought up to date, as it is a bit old.
I recommend this camp for 1-2 nights.

We stayed in this Top 10 for the night while passing through Nelson.
It was easy walking to everywhere you’d like to see in the Nelson city area. Dom, who ran the place, was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. Everything was clean and well looked after.
For ease of access and security we highly recommend this top 10.

$87.21. A friendly welcome on a rainy night. A compact site, quite popular as only 2 pitches available. We didn’t book so were lucky to get one. Probably the best toilet and shower blocks we have seen so far in 5 weeks in NZ. Laundry $4 each washer and dryer. Auto detergent. New machines.
No great views but then we are in Nelson City.
A short walk to the centre.

We are staying in a tent and we were disappointed with the site.
There is one small section for all the people staying in tents, the ground there is not even at all. We paid $44
and it was not worth it.
Kitchen is small for the amount of people they cram in the park.

I don’t know what is wrong with this campsite but I’ve been traveling in New Zealand for 2 month and this never happened to me!
We stayed here for 2 nights in the first night someone stole my very expensive powerbank with adapter and cable aswell the powerbank of another guy and the food in the fridge of another guy aswell. When I left another powerbank in the ladies bathroom for no longer than 2 hours the same happened again. This is RIDICULOUS! I don’t know if this is about the staff or anything else but I can’t believe it .

Hi Jenny, we are so sorry to hear that this happened to you, sadly there is always one person that ruins it for everyone! Unfortunately we can not be held responsible for items that go missing while left unattended.
Please feel free to contact us via email if we can be of any further assistance. Happy travels.

It is small but quant. We were parked in the back by the trees and creek and it was nice. If you want to see Nelson, this works. Downtown is walkable - about 25 minutes. The staff was friendly and the facilities were clean.
