We originally booked at another campsite that wasn’t the right fit and looked for what was around. Waitangi holiday park looked nice online so we just turned up. Luckily they had availability! We told them about our predicament and were so helpful. Found us a great powered site overlooking the estuary. The camp itself is simple, clean and friendly.  The sites are flat and clearly marked. The kitchen had everything you need and even offered free detergent & free bbq’s. There was even body wash in the showers, not sure if they were complementary but if so were a nice touch. 
There were washing machines which we needed for $4 (2x$2 coins only) and powder available from reception and a big line out the back to hang your clothes. A lounge to watch tv and everything was clean :)
You can walk to the beach in about 5 mins and the supermarket in 10. So picturesque and it was quiet at night and I’m the morning. Totally recommend - what a find and thanks for having us!

Great spot on the estuary and near the beach

We decided to cut or visit short at the holiday park, something we have never had to do in our 11 visits to NZ over the last 16 years. 
We were camping on a powered site and disgusted by the amount of additional dog poo every morning. 
Both of the male toilet shower blocks available were filthy and stank of urine. All three showers were unclean and poorly maintained, as were the toilets blocks in general. Three showers and the amount of toilets are clearly not enough for a holiday park of this size. In addition they should be cleaned and sanitised on a more regular basis during peak periods and not just the sinks wiped dry more than once a day. 
In addition motor home owners should be discouraged and penalised for emptying their chemical waste cartridges in the toilet cubicles. 
To top it all, the wifi was either none existent or extremely poor. 
Finally on a good note, the receptionist took on board our complaints the day we decided we’d had enough and went around picking up the dog poo that was near our tent and couldn’t apologise enough when I brought this to her attention. 

Never to return

Basic Rooms with no running water, but there is a tap outside the rooms to fill Jug.  Toaster, plates & utensils in room to use in shared kitchen.
No Toilet or shower in the Rooms.
Spacious space to stay in a Tent/s & staff were very accommodating with the amount of us that stayed.  Much appreciated.
We had a good stay at Waitangi Holiday Park & the staff were very helpful in providing all information prior to our visit.  Great view of the water with a shower/toilet block for guests to use.  Shared Kitchen with cooking facilities with a Zip Hot Water Tap. Clean & Tidy Holiday Park.
We really enjoyed our stay here as a family with Adults & Children.

Waitangi Weekend Stay

The staff were very friendly and welcoming BUT, the park is overpriced for limited facilities that are in much need of updating. There were only 2 women's showers available on the night we stayed and the water pressure was so low, the shower only dribbled. The view over the estuary is lovely when the tide is in but beware of paying extra as a camper van for this view as you may well have a tent or smaller van put in front of you which will prevent you from enjoying the view. I think the costs are so high because it is near the treaty grounds! This is the highest price @94 dollars we have ever paid for a site and it just isn't with it.

Overpriced

Beware! Rufund policies have no room for grace and the staff are unsympathetic and rude. My husband and I booked in to go on a trip early February 2023 which cost me $215, but due to flooding in Auckland (you know, the houses being washed away, slips and road closures etc), there was no way we could make it. They have a strict no refund policy and boy do they stick to it. I emailed as soon as I found out we couldn't get there, which was a week out from the trip, tried to explain our situation, that we're stuck on the North Island, have no money, can't get to the campsite and can't get home because there are no ferries available, and I politely asked for at least a partial refund, and the staff didn't even acknowledge that we're going through a rough patch and simply said there's no way we'll get a refund. As I continued to question this policy their emails got more abrupt and more rude. Perhaps its their right not to refund, but to be downright rude is not cool at all. I'd strongly suggest to be extremely wary when booking with them. 

BEWARE! Rude Staff! They won't even refund for extenuating circumstances or natural disasters

This is a lovely clean and efficient campsite.
The receptionist, Robyn, was absolutely delightful and so very helpful offering tips about the area, good places to eat and things to see. She was always smiling snd upbeat as was Bruce who did the evening shift.
Many thanks guys!

A clean and efficient campsite which has really lovely staff.

Lovely campground and perfect location! The boat ramp is super close and easy to use. Awesome that the camp has a boat wash and fish filleting option. Also amazing that dogs are allowed! Really loved it! 
Only little negative was that one of the staff was clearly overworked and not very friendly and quiet abrupt! 
All the others were nice and friendly to deal with though!

Lovely sport in paradise

Great little park, it’s older style but has a good feel and friendly staff. We stayed in a cabin, they are basic but clean and comfortable. Close to town and shopping. Would stay again. Also close to haruru falls and other activities. A good little cafe close by also.

Basic but comfortable and friendly staff

This a nice holiday park on the water. The facilities are clean but old and basic. The staff were pleasant but could have been more efficient. We made it clear when booking that we would be putting up an awning and were assured we’d been assigned a suitable, wide grassy site. So we were taken aback to find the site we were directed to was quite narrow and boggy, with a big tree. There was definitely no space for an awning. Fortunately we were allowed to move to another site. 

The park is mostly quiet with no road noise but we could have done without staff roaring around on a quad bike and mowing the grass early in the morning. Why do holiday parks insist on waking campers up early? Not everyone is moving on the next day and people on holiday don’t want to be woken up and disturbed by noisy mowers first thing. That aside we enjoyed our stay but it is quite expensive for a basic camp. I guess you’re paying for the location.


Expensive for basic facilities

Honestly our experience was quite bad. The lounge was closed, half of the bathrooms were also closed which meant we had to go at the other end of the camping site for kitchen use etc. Also after we put up our tent, we left to go out in Paihia and came back to the campsite only to be locked out. There was no way to reach the staff, no one responded on the phone. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get a refund as we had paid online - that’s another issue to the list.
