  • Basic decent facilities.

    Bathrooms ok but bordering on a bit skody. Plenty of hair. Pricey for what you get at $90 for adult and two teenagers in camper.

  • Convenient to the ferry but the facilities simply didn’t feel cared for.

    The women’s toilets were pretty gross. This could be good if someone actually cared for it. I’d look at staying in Invercargill, getting up a wee bit earlier and driving out to the ferry.

  • It's nice views of the harbour and clean kitchen and shower blocks.

    There's only two things wrong here one is the wifi if you can get it as I've tried with four devices and still most of the time I could not. Two is people here that like to swear and argue late at night to Early hours in the morning. Plus with the wifi the people closer to the buildings gets it more than the ones further away.

  • Was surprised by Bluff because it had such bad reviews.

    Ignore them all! It’s not luxury but it was certainly cleaner than most we’ve stayed at for that price recently ($20 each unpowered)

    Self check-in always a bonus as you can arrive late. Showers hot and great water pressure. You can also pay $5 to use the facilities and not camp, which we did after coming back from a week of tramping on Stewart Island.

  • Pros: - nice view - awesome water pressure at shower and unlimited shower time - small dated playground - close to the ferry to Stewart island Cons: -bit overpriced 60$ for powered site for 2

    adults and one infant

    - no staff, self check in with cash

    - no campsite vibe as you are on an open field in a suburb

    - dated cold facilities without utensils etc.

  • Just across the road from the beach.

    Hot showers, Laundry, playground and plenty of room to kick a ball. Great camp manager.

    A good place to stay if you need wash up from free camping.

  • Nice campground with stunning view.

    Facilities a little bit old but clean. Hot showers free. Kitchen big enough for cooking and eating. Nice and friendly guy help us for self-registration and gave us tips for the travel to Stewart Island. We stayed 1 night with our motorhome.

  • A really nice campground with great views!

    However, if the wind is blowing there’s no place to hide. Clean toilets and showers with with hot high pressure water. Large kitchen/relaxation area however minimally equipped, bring your own.

  • Clean helpful, let us leave our van hooked up while at Stewart Island for 3 days at a very reasonable cost.

    Easy walking to ferry terminal, efficient dryers. Quiet campsite, great birdwatching.

  • Good location, small camp ground.

    Honesty system in place but manager was there when we arrived. Price - way too expensive for such a facility. $50 powered site, 2 people. Amenities were good but no locks or codes to enter. A safety concern for us. Also window open too far in shower area. Anyone could see in. Do your research before coming here.

  • Half of the oowered sites didn’t work and had to move around a few times to find a workable one.

    Cash only with a self check in. No Wifi (even though advertised as having unlimited) location is good as close to everything but … lights in shower went off two minutes in. Showers were hot and powerful but it was a bit off putting with the black mould and lack of hygiene in the bathroom. Could really do with a good clean. Kitchen was ok although the tables were very sticky. Will not be back to this site.
