Ross Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park
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.
Wow, thanks for the great review... sounds like you really enjoyed your stay here. Hope to see you again one day,
Safe travels

Definitely recommend staying here.
The place is small and new and run by a lovely welcoming couple. The main facility area in the middle feels a little like home; very comfy and warm, kitchen is fully equipped and you can buy fresh eggs from their farm. The bathroom has a shower ($2 for 5 mins, bring $2 coins) with a bath mat (such a luxury!) and hand towels - very homey. The couple were quick to recommend places to us around Hokitika and in the evening they were sitting around with guests giving them recommendations and tips for the rest of their trip around the South Island. The grass areas are all flat and soft for camping on too. Will definitely come back!

Omarama TOP 10 Holiday Park
Good sized camp ground, not too dry like some we’ve been to.
Staff were really friendly and helpful. Kitchen has some pots and pans you can use, lots of toasters and microwaves and a bar along one side for people charging things! Really handy. Cost was $45 for two people, I think $25 for one person so not cheap. Close to a pub/bar (on the corner, good food. I think it was called gumboots and jandels) as well as Four Square and petrol station. Free hot showers but limited to 6 mins I think. Great place to stop for the night if you want good facilities!
