Having paid extra for a deluxe powered camper van site we found the pitch extremely cramped, but we did have a good view. We could imagine some drivers having problems getting onto their pitch, and conversations from several too close neighbours heard continually. Showers and toilets all excellent, but steps down to them were slippery after rain. The cooking facilities... More

We attempoeted to stay at this camper van park. all other Top 10 sites had been excellent. Russell was the most expensive at well over $60pn and they had the nerve to then charge extra for hot showers. The problem was though that the area had a power cut. the park obviously had no back up generator as it should... More

This is a very good campsite in the middle of Russel. It's very quiet and clean. We were on the lower field so didn't get the views the others had but it didn't matter too much. The seagulls are a bit of a plague here and trying to cook or eat outside is difficult. If you leave your food while... More

We stayed as a family with a 4 year old and 8 year old and had a wonderful time. We were given a unit which had visiting Weka's at the deck. A real treat for the girls. They'd never seen them before and the birds have such a curious and sweet temperament. The birds are also friendly, quiet and didn't... More

Until we arrived at the quayside we hadn't realised that reaching this campsite would require a ferry crossing ($18.50 for our motorvan as it was over 3m high). Somehow we missed the signpost for the road access, but the guidebook says that it's 'easily missed' so we aren't the only ones! The staff member at Reception was extremely helpful and... More

The premium camper spots are great. Good facilities for campers. The down side is they charge $2 for showers and its a bit of a pain to need to find $2 coins. The wifi works poorly in the better spots farther away from the lower camp. It is also full of tourists - we had a group of Chinese in... More

We stayed at a really busy time, and the campground was humming. It had a good feel to the place and the facilities were good. We were in cabins, but not all cabins have kitchen facilities, so be sure to ask for them. They were small but functional, beds were ok, but fridge didn't work. Unfortunately a couple of the... More

The staff at this park were wonderful. When we booked online they sent us a welcoming message and made sure we were aware of the different options of getting to the park (including the much shorter ferry service). They allowed us to change sites for our motorhome. The facilities are lovely and clean and there is an excellent view from... More

Stayed here after Xmas and pleased with facilities, albeit a bit costly, but our stay was ruined by others. Security tried to tell people to be quiet but noisy into early hours of morning. Unfortunately wouldn't stay again as the plan was for tramping and just too tired the next day. Maybe just the time of year and not the... More
