  • Expensive ($65 for one night for two people on a non powered site) but worth it for such a great location right on the beach.

    Good facilities. Had a lovely time here.

  • Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, plenty of space in the kitchens & bathrooms.

    Great location with lots to do nearby.

    You need to pay for hot water in the shower ($1 for 6 mins)

  • We accidentally stayed on this side of Abel Tasman Nat Park, but we are glad we did.

    We wanted to catch the cruises that mostly depart on the east side of the national park (check out Katerikeri). BUT we had a great time exploring Pohara, the beach, Molly B’s and the Farewell Spit (great loop hike with sheep)! We ended up staying two nights and booking a Abel Tasman sea cruise the third day… and just drove around to meet the boat. CJ (at check in) was amazing, knowledgeable and extremely hospitable. Thanks CJ!!

  • Has a great location right on the beach - the shower block is about 25m from the sand!

    I paid $35 to camp in a tent for one night, which seemed relatively expensive. The ground was level and not very stony, so it was a comfortable night.

    The kitchen has ovens, hobs, fridges, water boilers. There are no communal crockery or cutlery so you need your own.

    You have to pay for showers - they are trying to save water I suppose, at the same time the price to stay is rather high.

  • Spacious powered sites, extremely clean facilities.

    Hot showers $0.50 for 6 minutes. Right on the beach, which you can hear from your campsite (even the non 'premium' beach front campsites).

    Enjoyed our stay here and would come back in the future.

  • As beach campsites go this is very good but, inevitably it is busy but it wasn’t noisy after 10.30 the night we were there and really people seemed to be very law abiding.

    It’s an excellent beach and the facilities were good and clean. It’s a big site and the pitches area good size.

  • Good site right on the beach.

    Campsites don’t have a direct view but the beach is a 23 second walk. Facilities are a dated but very clean. Staff was amazing.

    Had dinner in Takaka at Roots and lunch the next day at the Mussel Inn. Recommend both.

  • Terrible place.

    we spent one night here and it was far too long. too expensive, everything is extra paid I was surprised that I didn't have to pay extra for chargeing a phone without throw a few dollars to the wall. Super crowded. car by the car can be heard farting in the tent next tent. dirty beach and water. did I mention that it's expensive. every other place nearby seems better !!!

    The staff were very friendly and even offered us delicious apples the locals had given them for campers. The shower is and laundry were clean.

  • 08Oct18.

    First time here. A big campsite but not busy at all when we were there. Friendly reception. Large level pitches. Good facilities.

    Pay showers but water is an issue in this part of NZ. 50c for 6 minutes. There is a counter on the unit so you can see the remaining time and put more money in if required.

    There is a vehicle wash down facility. It is on the boat ramp and very sandy so expect to walk sand inside unless you brush it off first!

    On our next visit to NZ we will come here again as we will always visit the nearby Grove Reserve.

    Drive further round towards Tata Beach. Not sure if that is where we had coffee but it was beautiful. I could just sit there and enjoy the view for ages, and did.

    On the way back check out the Abel Tasman monument and lookout. Interesting and great views.

    Nice facilities with clean, hot, but pay as you go showers.

    Right on a really nice walking beach.

    Would highly recommend.
