Waipatiki Beach Holiday Park, Napier, Hawkes Bay

A nice spot to stay away from the busy road. It was winter when we went there and we had the whole place with 2 other parties. The facilities are old fashioned but clean.

There is a shower & toilet located near the entrance of the camp ground, however this is not available for use most of the time. This is a shame as it would be more convenient if you are based in that area. The main facilities could be cleaned a little more thoroughly, there are cobwebs present & the level of cleaning isnt always up to standard. In saying that, it is a beautiful spot & a great place to stay, & the hosts are really friendly. Just a couple of improvements would make it perfect

Really nice campground, we stayed for 4 nights and loved the holiday vibe (it was between Christmas and New Year). Great campsite for kids and not too big. There's probably not enough showers and toilets at peak times, but we managed fine. You have to wade through a river to get to the beach, but it's only knee/thigh high. The river was great for our SUP and the beach was also great.

Lovely spot in a beautiful part of NZ. The beach is great and the bush walks nearby are awesome. We had two self contained cabins, one that had been renovated and one that hadn't. Both were very basic, but had most things that you would need. Both had cockroaches. Renovated one was much warmer and had working shower and clean toilet. The shower in the other one was unusable (just a dribble when turned to hot), the toilet was disgusting and didn't flush properly. There were mice running around the room at night keeping us awake. There were mouse droppings around the kitchen and bed. A mouse nibbled the corner of our chiller bag. Bunks were very squeaky and unstable with broken bars. There were only 4 chairs in a cabin for 6 people.

This is a lovely place to camp by a beach with lagoon but with one negative. Many of the powered sites are under the shade of trees. The sites all mowed nicely. The facilities were good.....with large fridges and freezers, good water pressure in the showers. However, they all needed cleaning! There were cobwebs and bugs, filthy windows. The family room uninviting....dark and dirty. It was a pity we got rained out and left a day early.

Great location.Owners are really friendly, even during the very busy times. Facilities are good and clean.Pitches are various sizes, so if you have a big tent or van, check ahead.Christmas and New Year are very popular with regulars, so I suggest you book early and aim for mid Jan.There are some nice short (3-4km) walks with great views close by.The beach is great, but you need to use your brain and stay between the flags so the surf life savers can keep an eye on you.

What a great spot. The camp hosts were helpful. Would be nice to stay for a few nights next time.

The place is so BEAUTIFUL! It's private and safe for kids to run freely. The communal facilities and grounds were well kept... Clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and approachable and the locals make you feel very welcomed too! We stayed during wet weather but still managed to have a great time! Would definitely stay again. Thanks guys!!!

Great little spot,. Very clean facilities, few extra costs o er and above the site fee for the night. Loved it
