This campground is a hidden gem! The owners are incredibly welcoming, and it's evident that they take pride in maintaining a beautiful and clean environment. The spacious sites, clean facilities, and amenities like the pool and playground make it perfect for families. However, having a hand-drying option in the disabled bathroom would be a great addition.

We had an amazing time at this park! The location is wonderful, just a short walk to the stunning Waikawa Marina where we enjoyed a beer on the deck. The facilities were exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making our stay comfortable. The only downside was the limited kitchen facilities in our small cabin, but it had everything we needed for a great stay. Overall, great value for money.
