Campervans

Vans, motorhomes, caravans

We have a dozen powered sites and the same again for unpowered. Secluded, open, shady or sunny — areas suitable for most campers. Regulars love the relaxed and laid back vibe.

During the high season we can not guarantee a specific site and usually work on a ‘first in first choice’ basis. Vehicles over 7m may incur an additional daily fee.

Sites can be ‘snug’ over the busy periods but there are plenty of places on the property to escape to.

Camp site options

Powered sites – We have limited sites with power. These are located within the main camp site — the largest area that offers shady or sunny sites close to the outdoor kitchen and kids zone (and trampoline) – perfect place to keep a close eye on the kids! Within this area, we also have some more secluded spots.

Unpowered sites – located within the main campsite as well as the Meadow — near the river amongst magnificent walnut trees. Note, this is typically a child-free zone

Note power is available in the outdoor kitchen area to charge devices

About our campground

Think nostalgic camping — stepping back to how camping used to be growing up.

Our peaceful, safe haven is a perfect base for exploring Banks Peninsula. Kids play on the trampoline or in the river, exploring and being adventurous, while you sit back and relax knowing they’re safe.

We are a small business 100% kiwi owned and not affiliated with any chain of holiday parks. If you’re seeking somewhere special and memorable, this is absolutely it!

Kitchen area – Our outdoor kitchen area has limited seating and dining facilities. Access to a fridge/freezer, gas cookers, toaster, kettle and hot water.

Hot showers – The showers take a $2 coin for a 5-minute hot  shower. We have coins.

Picnic table and play area – Adjacent to the kitchen is our huge picnic table which can seat over 20 people. The playground is nearby so you can still cook and keep an eye on the kids!

Giant Swing – Our ‘Kowhai kisser’ giant swing out of a 200-year-old matai tree. Scary, a bit dangerous and thrilling!

Sun-safe camping – We have plenty of trees, so over busy times a gazebo may not be needed.

Waterless composting toilets – We have dry composting eco toilets that do not use water and are chemically free.

Things to note

• We have very few sites available suitable for large caravans and motorhomes

• During the long weekends and our busy season, we prefer multi-night bookings

• We are a zero waste camp, so what you bring in, you take out. Packaging, bottles etc. Except your food scraps, which we have organic bins for. There are waste and recycling bins in Little River township

• When busy, we encourage vehicles to park on the roadside  to help improve child safety
