Great toilets and parking.

Really quiet, felt safe.

We was the only one campervan there and we had a good night. 20(15)$ for (un)powered is fine. We arrived too late to do the museum.

Bad drop toilets (almost full with lot of insect in it).

No water available. Its just a car park ( hard to find a flat spot.)

But there are a lot of spots available. Its quiet with a lot of trees around.

The dam is of course the Highlights of this place. few planed water release a day. With a short walk in the forest you can find a nice lookout to see the water flow in the gorges. Its gorgeous...

By the way, it was the place where they film the barrels in the river scene from the hobbits.

Great quiet spot with a lot of trees around.

Museum was nice. The 15min kauri forest walk was great. We heard a lot of birds there. Perfect clear sky.

Flush toilets was fine. The museum staff was lovely (until 3pm you can buy ice cream).

Few tourist buses stopped there in the afternoon/morning.

Great park for kids!

They loved it!

77$ for 2 adults 1 child (+1 infant) for powered site. They have also an offer ( the third night free during the week) but we had to go after 2 nights.

Hot Swimmingpool with hot tub beside. Treasor hunt about Dinosaure for the kids. Staff is really friendly.

Facilities was ok. Kitchen has some tools in it.

It seems that a lot of groups stays here, so it was disturbing when they storm the kitchen/Swimmingpool, we felt a little bit overwhelmed but not a big issue.

Long gravel road to come there.

It was fun when we had to open/close gate with cows in front and around us. But it worked well.

The place by the river is nice, green and flat. We didn't used the shower but seems ok ( probably too cold in winter as the facilities are quite open). Flush toilets was fine.

It was only 50$ for 2 adults and 2 kids unpowered ( including the bush kitchen).

The pizza oven is great. Everything is there for the fire and taking care of the cooking. We also saw an owl in the trees kids loved it!

Some moskitos there but not a swarm, so repelent worked fine.

No sign telling if its/or not allowed to camp here.

Still we saw few caravans/vans staying there. Nice few grass spots.

1 clean long drop toilet.

Biutiful old suspension bridge and a river under it.

We just stayed for a pic nic, but I would probably come back for a night without problem.

Great farm with a lot of charm.

Only few nice green emplacements so it will never be overgrowded. Nice small facilities in typical farm style. We loved the fact that the owners gave much effort in the small ( funny) details.

Wifi is bad. We didn't checked if it was a laundry.

No playground but it was not expected ( in fact the whole farm was a great playground for the kids)

Nice walk to the beach, seeing some horses on the way.

We could pay for a horse riding hour for our 6y old in the morning and it was great.

Kids above 3 pay a full adult price for the night and under it 1/2 price. So we end paying 90$ for an unpowered site for 2 adults and 2 kids (6 and 2 year olds).

Quite expensive, like a top10, but with way more charm...

We will love to come back again.

A parking near a sportfield, it do the job.

Big flush toilets. Small playground. A lot of cars turned around the carpark in the morning without a clear purpose, so we didn't felt really welcome. Still, we leaved at 10am and no one told us something.

Good for a night on the road.

Big parking near the railway ( we heard few freighttrains during the night).its only a donation of 10$/vehicule with the penny key.

If you don't have the penny stuff or don't want to pay, you can enter from the exit, its without barrier.

You have free flush toilets and warm water for dishwashing.

Shower and cooking plates can be activated with the penny card.

It seems that some shuttle for hiking tour start from there.

Ok for a night but not the best with kids. They had nothing to do there...

Nice green space near the beach.

Flush toilets was fine ( no soap or handdryer). Drinking fountain was nice.

Nothing else there.

We saw a lot of long time camper there ( or at least they looked like it). It gave us bad wibes (beside our family, there was only single males in vans there) and we leaved in the morning.

Great flush toilets there.

Plenty of place to parc the van on green or gravel ( a little bit uneven, but biutiful park).

Kids could look at the horses on the other side of the road.

A little bit far from dunedin center but great if you want to see the albatros sanctuary.

We had no sandflies/mosquitos there, but it was windy and rainy for us.

Amazing spot!

2 Clean flush toilets. The cold shower outside didn't seems to work for a long time.

A little windy but no sandflies. Not much place there, so better to come early!

But the sunset view there, the driftwood house and the beach make this spot incredible. Would move to come back!

The sandfly swarm was terrible!!!

One of the few camping ground before the west coast.

The fluff toilets was ok. Just on the side of the road and only few places to settle for the night. We just stayed on the parking in front of the facilities.

I know a lot of free camping slot that are better than this one...

Nice 5min walk to the small river.

Nice facilities with a big central kitchen were you can meet other traveller.

No kitchen tools, you have to rent them at the reception.

The camp has maybe too much gravel spot for our taste but its fine. A bit expensive also.

Behind the dump station you can see the entrance of a glowworm forêt. We would have loved to know that before we slep there
