Reviews

Really really nice campground, close to all activities, especially the kayak. Cozy vibes, smooth check-in even after hours with clear instructions. Friendly cat. Close to a really good fish&chip place. We recommend!!

One of the best camp sites. Right at the entrance to one of the great walks in Aotearoa, the Abel Tasman walk. Cute little cabins, central area to chill with great music, well maintained showers and toilets. Overall a pretty campsite with beautiful views and funny chickens and geese to keep you entertained. Would recommend 10/10

Excellent campground. Has everything you need! We stayed in the creek studio and it was quiet, restful and comfy. Especially loved the fire pit and the cows and ducks that visited us. Perfect location for Abel Tasman. Even the food truck onsite made breakfast and dinner.

We had such a lovely stay in the King Cabin - Rata. The place was clean, neat, and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable, so we had a great night’s sleep. The overall vibe was really relaxed, which made it easy to unwind and just enjoy the stay. Would definitely recommend 😊

We had a self-contained powered camperspot the the 4 stars are related to that spot. Besides that the staff was super friendly and in general the camping site was really clean had a food truck if needed, a sports area (yoga Matt's, weights outside though) as well as a great location. Relatively close to the beach and a good starting point for some trails
