Von der Lage her top, ansonsten nicht zu gebrauchen. Uns wurde ein ruhiger Platz zugewiesen, der dann neben einer Großfamilie mit Kleinkindern und ständigem Lärm lag. Für die Duschen muss man extra 50 Cent einwerfen für angeblich warmes Wasser, aber das Wasser blieb trotzdem kalt. Außerdem ist das WiFi nicht zu gebrauchen.

Nice enough site by the beach.
However, paid 70 dollars for a pitch before finding out the showers are extra, the bbq is extra, couldn't log into WiFi but that's probably a moot point because you only get 100MB of data before that too costs extra.
The site is fine, but the penny pinching set-up immediately left a sour taste in the mouth and I wish we'd tried the place up the road.

Great site by the beach. Huge but many perfect amenity blocks. Abel Tasman walking via Sea Shuttle a great way to do a days walk a view the park from the sea

Great location close to the beach and very good facilities with 4 or 5 blocks in total across the all site.
Busy with locals during summer time so better to book in advance.

Stayed here twice in December. Loved it when it was quiet. Huge camp ground & great when you can get some space. Good kitchen & showers 50c. Just loved the beach. Would highly recommend.

Situated directly across road from beach. Busy camp with lots of activity. Paid for lovely warm showers 50c/6mins. Bar/restaurant on site with live music which doesn’t effect noise levels. Coffee bar We stayed two nights and site was quiet with relaxed holiday vibe. Easy access to Abel Talsman activities with water taxi pick up outside camp if required. Cycle and kayak activities nearby. Staff at reception and shop very friendly and helpful.
If you prefer quieter, natural camping site probably best you don’t stay here.

Loved our stay here. Staff super friendly and accommodating. Park was quiet when we visited but such a great location. 1 adult 3 kids was cheaper than other campsite we stayed at $53 and powered. Highly recommend staying. Such a beautiful place and directly across the road from paradise. Gripe- other campsite we’ve stayed at had picnic tables on all campsites which we found so helpful or scattered close by. This 1 had 2 at the kitchen for patrons to use. Would be nice to have a lot more but did notice a lot of patrons were campervans too who had tables in them. All in all wonderful place.

There were just 2 of us and the campsite was quiet so didn't seem expensive at Nzd 46. We had no neighbours on either side and were in block A facing the ocean and great ocean view. We mix with Freedom camping so paying now and again for a night is fine for us.

Excellent location if you are lucky enough to get one of the few beach front spots. Very expensive compared to other places we have stayed, $23 per person per night. Showers are old and you have to pay. Payment box is located outside of cubicle so if you run out of time you can't top up. Wifi is terrible and limited. Facilities are clean. Its the beach location that makes this place.

We felt it was quite expensive for 3 and a van. However, we had a lovely site with views over the beach. There was a good kitchen and the facilities were clean. You did have to pay for the showers. There were sandflies on the beach so be prepared.

It was $23 per person per night. It was quite expensive for a small slot that we got next to the hundreds upon hundreds of people that there crammed in there. We’ve been camping around New Zealand for the last 5 weeks and I’m most disappointed with this place. If you’re going to charge this much maybe give more than 50mb (10 minutes) of WiFi.

Stayed 2 nights in March. Nice campground, quiet and clean. Great Location near beach and holiday tour offers in kaiteriteri. Not cheap- 46 $ per night(2 Adults and a van), hot showers or e.g. wifi not included! but good cooking facilities! Recommendable

Lovely area with a delicious cafe right next door. There’s nothing too special about the site but it’s in a very convenient location and the bathrooms and showers are clean. I saw a lot of reviews complaining about the showers but it’s 50 cents and clean and so refreshing after a day out in the sun, totally worth it. The employees are very nice and it’s a cool place to stay for a night or two.

Stayed 3 nights early December 2017 in drop dead gorgeous weather, golden sands, 25 degrees, great location and great facilities.......a definite 10 for us although by comparison on the expensive side so if you can overcome that then come here. A decent pub and restaurant ,a good supermarket, a great beach with walks and perfect open water swimming and track cycling - Kaiteriteri is one heck of a place for a beach rest and access to the National Park and boat trips- bingo!

Pretty decent camp in the off season. I would hate to be there in summer though. Wasn't cheap at $60 including two kids and paying for showers just rubs salt into the wounds. The playground needs work however, especially for the money.

It is a beautiful site and we would absolutely stay here again. Clean, large showers and toilets. Right on the beach! Yes, showers costs 50 cents and WiFi is very limited. But it's a place in paradise.

It's a big well-run camp right next to the beach, so it wins for convenience. Showers are ok, although I do get fed up with paying for showers - just ask me for $2 more when I check in!!!! You are packed in fairly close together, but it didn't feel too claustrophobic. Supermarket right next door was handy.

Very well run park with clean facilities. Plenty of toilet/shower/kitchen/laundry blocks. For the price, you'd think wifi was included, but unfortunately not. All sites are powered, so we paid $21 per person, per night (stayed 2 nights). Showers were 50 cents for 6 mins. Laundry $2 for washing machine and $2 for dryer. Nice spot near the beach and not far to drive to Abel Tasman track.

I stayed here for 2 nights because after my hike the second day I was too tired to keep driving. I wish I hadn't though, because the second night was a friday night and apparently the "beached whale" next door goes off on a friday night with some of the worst music ever :-) The camp site is not too blame for that, but it kept me up.
Showers, toilets, laundry and kitchen were fine and clean! Too bad you have to pay for hot water though.... Laundry was $2 but you have to buy detergent for $1 or use your own. Dryer is $2 for an hour and was enough. Showers cost 50 cents and give you 6 minutes of warm water. Staff was friendly. Camp is being renewed, half of it is under construction. It's right by the beach, which is nice, beautiful views in the morning of the sun rise.

The camp was large and had nice facilities. The showers were only 50c. However the site itself was a little bit pricey at $36 although it did come with power. There were a few ducks roaming around and it was a little windy. But the grounds and area were nice as was the beach area.

Our background: We stayed here during our 5 weeks campervan tour through the north and south island. We were 2 adults and a baby (9 months) and travelled with a large campervan.
Rating: really huge camp site. Would not want to stay here during peak season. When we stayed it was pretty empty and we could chose our our own stand with views of the beach and the ocean. However, be aware that there is a road between the beach and the campground. Stands are on grass and reasonably big. Toilets, shower and kitchen good and clean. Good starting point for excursions to abel tasman. Water taxis and tours leave right Round the corner. And there is a good burger place next to the campground.

Fantastic campsite right next to the beach. Facilities excellent and great hosts. Shop and cafe only meters away, cruises and kayaks leave from the beach, outstanding views - what more could you ask for. We stayed the week after easter and it was busy but bearable...I would imagine peak season could be hell though! Strongly recommend the Shoreline Cafe, food is excellent and very generous portions. The desserts are expensive but you'll understand why when they come out - works of art in both looks and taste. Also do the Tonga Bay cruise to Bark Bay walk with Wilsons, excellent day out and a good walk for the relatively fit. We'll be back!!
