Whangamata Motor Camp

Brilliant campground 2 minutes from the shopping center in one direction and 2 minutes to the beach in the other. Even though it's very humble, (it desperately needs a makeover) prime location and cheap rates give this 5 stars. You get what you pay for and since I'm on a budget I'm happy to pay less for humble amenities.The most important thing is it's CLEAN and tidy and the staff are great.$22 for a powered site at the end of summer, hot showers are extra tho but only $1, and you get unlimited wifi. You can't ask for more really. Compared to whitianga @ $28 plus an extra $5 for wifi because the 100mg they give you is not enough, it compares very well indeed.

The website does not reflect the reality unfortunately. It is very close to a beautiful beach and handy to the township but it is incredibly run down. A lot of sites lack grass, there are old cigarette butts everywhere. As I sit here writing there is no power to the powered camp site I have paid for. I paid my $1 for a hot shower which never happened.i had to physically hold the button down on the single toaster in the kitchen. It's very disappointing when we have paid over $200 for 3 nights. The rubbish is piling up in the bins, everything is tired. The toilets are gross. We won't be back. They can't even post on their fb page why the power is out.

Very run down, needs a heap of work done to update it. Sad as it’s a great location.

Wonderful located Campingsite close to the beach. The owner is really caring and helped us with our broken car. Overall we had a really nice stay just the rooms could use a little upgrade.

Friendly welcoming owner in person and over the phone. Was given own choice of driving around the park and parked 7 metre van on hard grounded grass powered site.Not many people here so we were distanced from campers and cabins. Birds were really chatty up in the trees and ocean sounds were enjoyable through the night. We parked close to toilet block but walked further toward the office and entrance for showers as the one closer to us mid way was padlocked. Showers operate by a $1 coin. After a long day I enjoyed my long approx. 5mins of hot hard massage shower on my back. There is only a door to the cubicles. No shower curtain to separate the cubicle so make sure you have a plastic bag for your clothes to be in. I wet my pjs hanging up because my shower was high pressure and I wet everything. No shower mat so be can be slippery. As I was leaving the shower block I met a very chatty black cat that let me give him pats. For the the price we paid. I liked this place because it is within walking distance to town and the beach and we weren't surrounded by people. Not a flash area, mostly cosmetic but has all you need and no fuss. Drove out safely even though it rained overnight.

Great and affordable cabins albeit dated. Beds and pillows are surprisingly comfortable. Close proximity to the beach and dairies etc. Hot showers are $1 but the cold showers are available free. Ample parking.Unfortunate that the private housing area by the camp tends to host parties over the weekend and they can get really loud at night. Might affect sleep.Recommend this place nonetheless. Thank you!

Nice location but unfortunately not clean. The Kitchen was disgusting and I found cockroaches on the bench. There is no common areas.

Warm welcome with clean and tidy facilities showers operate by coin $1 would get you about 5minutes, toliet room air freshener smells great only down side nothing to dry your hand on after you wash them, it is slightly dated camp but the great price refects this, would stay again

Good holiday camp, great facilities. Very handy to both beach and town.

Great campground easy walk into town and same to beach in other direction , very friendly made very welcomeFacility’s dated but clean thanks enjoyed our 5 nights would definitely recommend
