Piha Camp

A perfect spot to camp in a beautiful part of New Zealand. All the facilities you could ever need, clean, tidy and well maintained. Fiona, the manager was a real character, and only too happy to help in anyway. Will definitely return to finish. All the beautiful walks available close by.

Zuerst einmal das Positive: Der Campingplatz ist weitläufig und liegt nur ein paar Gehminuten vom Piha Beach entfernt. Der Strand und die Umgebung haben die schlechteste Bewertung verhindert. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Aber dann, das Negative: Die Anlage ist ziemlich veraltet und runtergewirtschaftet. Wir können die negativen Kommentare zu den Toiletten und Duschen nur bestätigen. Das war unter aller Kanone!! Siehe Bilder. Das man sich dort traut so etwas den Kunden noch anzubieten, geht über Ignoranz ganz weit hinaus. Auf der anderen Straßenseite gibt es einen kleinen Shop (Piha Store). Dort gibt es morgens nicht nur frischen Kaffee oder einen richtig guten Cappu, sondern auch frisches Gebäck und Brot. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und auch sehr geduldig - was in dem ein oder anderen Fall auch notwendig war. Die hatten einfach die Ruhe weg! Top-Personal, Top-Angebot!

I camped over the summer just my toddler and I. We felt safe and looked after. We had a spot just by the playground and kitchen which was perfect! Lovely host, super friendly and helpful. We meant to just stay for 3 nights but stayed for 5 in total so my husband and dog could join us!

So good to return here after many years! Fiona and her team has been there many many years and it was nostalgic seeing them again and talking about days gone. Sadly a small part of the park is not in use anymore, the cabins are gone, but otherwise nothing else has changed. Campers are always friendly. The huge pictures in the bathrooms are so lovely! Cool shower curtains, as always. The town hasn't changed much. The cafe opens very early and still makes such delicious goodies and coffee. The surf shop next door is still there and always smells amazing! PSLS club still has a cool bar, eats and fantastic views! Cones on the Beach has the best frozen berry chocolate dipped ice cream for those hot days and Murray's is still there;)

Everything was spotless and well taken care of. The beach is just steps away from the campsite, and the sunsets there are absolutely breathtaking . The lady at reception was incredibly kind and radiated positivity, thank you!

Came here for one night. Prebooked as it’s cheaper online. Very nice welcome and we could pick our spot! Tags to ge access to toilets and parking which was a bit annoying as we forgot often. Wifi didn’t seem to work for us and showers not brilliant. A lot was written about respecting others and this being a quiet, relaxing campsite, so dogs not allowed to bark and being on the lead etc. which is great and correct, but unfortunately there were dogs outside the camp that were barking a lot and there was loud music playing through the evening and early night from a bar outside the grounds which disturbed our evening. There is great access to the beach and local shops, bar, restaurant etc. It was good value @$55 for a powered site for 2, but not quite the heaven portrayed….

It's nice, but it has to offer a different service than showing off the beach. People want to see and buy handicrafts Maōri style and at affordable prices obviously. Also to enjoy more than just ice cream, having another option for desserts or food in front of the beach would be a blessing.
