    Lovely place!

    Host was very kind and facilities are outstanding. When you are lucky, you will get amazing sunsets which you can enjoy from the back of your van or on the beach. Definitely recommend going here.

    Stayed here for a night in my van while touring the South Island.

    Was made to feel very welcome and at home by the cleaners and owners. The location is great by the beach and the facilities are excellent, including the jacuzzi. It's been my favourite campsite over the whole South Island - I will definitely be back!

    Unbelievable stay at Ross.

    We gave up our powered site to camp right on the beach and had the best view of the ocean all night. I loved every moment of beach exploring we did, and then had an amazing sunset to top it off. Also enjoyed the little town and dinner at the pub. Quite a nice surprise. We’ll take this memory home as one of our most favorite Holiday Parks we stayed in (we circled the entire southern island, y’all!!). Cheers.

    Nothing for kids to do. Guy charged us $60 then woman came and charged us another $40 so $110 for one night is soo over priced. Lazy service. Don’t recommend.

    Pricey at $65 for a night on a non-powered campervan site, but...they are right on the beach, and the non-powered sites are directly facing the beach, so that was fantastic.

    Facilities are decent but limited, the site was rather empty when we were there but the kitchen and toilets\showers were full. I cant imagine that they'd cope if the site was actually full of campers.

    This place is right on the beach and looks to be quite new.

    Well set up with grown flax creating hedges here and there so that it’s sheltered and more private. Most of the buildings are created from shipping containers which was quite cool. Best shower I’ve had so far on our 3 week trip - free, not timed, hot and great pressure although it can get a bit steamy in there despite the fan! Kitchen is fully equipped and you don’t need to rent anything to use cooking implements. They also have a pizza oven. Very short drive/ cycle into Ross town.

    Keine Ausschilderung am Highway, kleine einsame Straße entlang, wo man keine Idee von diesem Paradies bekommt. Fahrt unbedingt weiter bis zum Platz und schaut euch um!!! Ein Traum.

    Besitzer sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Unpowered direkt am Strand mit Blick aufs Meer. Traumhafter Sonnenuntergang direkt am verlassenen Strand.

    Tolles Konzept mit Containern. Saubere duschen, saubere Küche.

    What an amazing place at the westcoast!

    Coming to Ross, we thought "what a creepy place." Taking the road to the campground we thought "what a strange place, better turn and leave?" But when we arrived at the campground, we totally loved it. It's right at the stunning beach with beautiful sunsets.

    Not many sandflies!

    Unfortunately, there is no shade and the kitchen is way to small when the park is busy.

    LoveD our stay here.

    We were going to stay in Franz Josef but places looked cramped... so glad we jept going. Friendly greeting from staff and amazing views on the beach... esp sunset!!!! Great idea repurposing shipping crates; well designed and all fronted with glass. Not overly keen on the frosted glass wall on the shower toilet block as you can see people dressing when the lights are on. The powered sites were wonderfully large private flat areas surrounded on three sides by NZ flax? The powered sites back up against a road which the locals use at the end of the day to access the beach and walk their dogs but we were not disturbed. If you are visiting the West side of NZ you should definitely stay here! Worth every cent!!!! And then head into Ross and meet the amazing people at the Heritage site. LOVE THIS TOWN!!!!

    I can’t even with how awesome this place is.

    It is very new which is great. The layout of the camp is very purposeful. The kitchen, laundry and showers are central and the accommodations move out from there. Tenting is in a grassy sheltered area. The non powered caravan sites are all ocean side. The powered sites are along one side. The super rad converted shipping container cabins are spread about. The attention to detail from the hooks in the shower rooms to the organization of the dual kitchen space to the landscaping is so lovely. The beach is RIGHT THERE. The white beach is divine and swimming was fun and safe. We saw the best sunset of our lives here. The owners are friendly and welcoming. I would spend a week here if I could. The place is 15/10. Thank you to the owners for creating such a lovely place!
