  • Denis is the owner, probably one of the best people you’ll have the experience meeting in nz!

    $36 for an unpowered site, $39.50 for powered. we arrived after business hours and he said no worries, came down to the camp and got us a site. 10:30 check out but he is not strict if you leave later.

    Great showers, kitchen etc. few long term stayers, but friendly people. Denis is great with recommendations of what to do while in the South Island.

    10/10!
