Moeraki Boulders Holiday Park @ Hamden Beach
This was the first campsite that we stayed at in our motorhome on our three week holiday and I loved it!
The campsite is very pretty with lots of greenery and is really close to the beach.
The owner was really friendly and helpful when greeting us and gave us some really useful information about the best times to see the boulders and penguins. Thanks to his advise we got great views of a couple of penguins.
The toilets were clean, we didn't use the showers as we had an early start for getting to the boulders.
This place has a lovely relaxing vibe, I would definitely stay here again.
Dear Claire
Thanks a lot for your positive comments. Would be a pleasure to see you back in our little seaside paradise some time in the future.

We stayed here for the last night that we had our motorhome for a three week holiday.
This was one of the most expensive campsites that we stayed at and the only campsite where we had to pay extra to use the showers. Although it was only $1 for a 9 minute shower, I found the principle irritating as we had already paid €40 to stay there for the night.
I was disappointed that my husband was asked to provide a security bond of $50 even though we were paying the nights camp fees upfront, we were never asked to pay this at any other campsite. This fee was waived once my husband had bought shower tokens and paid for 24 hours of wifi at a cost of €15. We were told that the wifi code could only be used on one device but actually found that it could be used on more than one.
There's not an awful lot to do near this campsite and it isn't very picturesque. We had wanted to stay at the Takapuna Beach Holiday Park which is in a lovely setting but they were fully booked, If you want somewhere pretty to stay I would try Takapuna first, although I cant comment on their facilities.
Having grumbled about the above the positives about this campsite were that the toilets, shower and kitchen facilities were clean and well maintained.
