Ranking: 9/10

Despite the negativity of this place as per previous reviews. Nothing but a warm welcome and lovely place to stay. Very quiet at this time of year. Would recommend this place as a nice quiet place to stay at this time of year

Really nice spot, very pretty with a nice beach. Was very quiet, all facilities were clean and well maintained. We got in before the rush, gets busy around 16/12 so get in before then with the nice weather and peace and quiet.

Do not stay here unless you have no other option.
The only thing this camping ground has going for it is its location next to a beach.
Tried all afternoon to call ahead to secure a powered site for 1 night as it was a busy time of year, no one picked up the phone. When we arrived the office was manned by a very rude woman (no idea what she had been doing all day). Her tone was condescending and unprofessional when asked about a vacant site and local transport in the area. After meeting such friendly people everywhere else in NZ she was a massive grouchy rude let down.
Facilities very old and tired, messy, not well maintained. Sites are very close together with little privacy.
Location next to beach is good. Showers are free although the sign on them makes it look like you need to pay.
If you're in the area check out The Mussel Inn just down the road. Their live music nights are brilliant. Despite what the grumpy lady in the office will tell you there are 2 numbers you can call if you have had a couple of drinks and need a ride back to your accommodation. Sign is next to the bar at the Mussel Inn, must be prebooked.

Great location on the beach. Facilities clean and tidy, but would be under pressure at busy times. Not cheap and showers 50c.
