This is a great place to stay at the beginning or end of your holiday in Christchurch, also if you want a few days of recuperation within easy reach of all that Christchurch has to offer.

This is a great last stopover for anyone who want to return their campervan back to the centres near the airport, as it’s only 6 minutes drive to the centres. And there’s a big petrol station just in front of the park to refuel your petrol, another 2.4km drive to Caltex to refill your LPG tank as well. As for Amenities like toilets, kitchen are decent.

Cool little camp ground. Plenty of room for our large caravan. Great showers and very clean facilities. Easy going and friendly staff. Minimal noise from motorway. Close to food outlets, servo, supermarket and airport.
