Reviews of Ruakaka Beach Holiday Park
M.
Had the most amazing first caravan camping trip!! Check in was easy with the friendly office ladies!
Great facilities and clean. Kept us up to date via sms when a pipe burst and they fixed it promptly!
Kids loved the covered playground. The most amazing views. We had great neighbours and everyone was super friendly!
Will visit again ASAP!
M.
Beautiful campsites. Lovely views. Beautiful beach. Cleanest campsite and ablution we have ever seen. Was a pleasure to stay there. Are definitely going again. One negative, will be great if there was a swimming pool.
D.
We had a great experience staying here, the beautiful beach a few steps away but most of all the service was 💯, with a small mix up which was fixed straight away, and help was just a call away. The owners are spectacular and the rooms are great with great views! I cant wait to return!
J.
Great introduction to the Northland. Great location with River or ocean to swim in. Facilities clean and sites well looked after. Store/ food truck a godsend for tired parents and hungry kids
J.
Fabulous camp for families and travellers.
So close to the water and safe to swim.
Beautiful clean facilities too!
c.

K.
Great camp ground, really clean and has great playground for the kids. Really good feel.
D.
I have always come here since I was a kid, and now bringing my own family and friends to enjoy this place
E.
Awesome place, clean and tidy facilities, handy to beach would camp there again.
V.
I've stayed here a few times and really enjoy the location. The facilities look new and are kept clean. Easy access to a stunning white sand beach. Best enjoyed in the off season.
C.
We love this park. Mind blowing views of the estuary and beach and clean and well maintained old school type amenities. Living the retro dream with a super modern booking system. Very impressed.
n.
Terrific holiday park. My family and I will be coming here regularly for life. The park was clean and well organized, facilities were very well maintained including bathrooms, kitchen area, and playground. Our campsite was spacious for what we needed, very well mapped out and a great price. Security at night was prevalent but polite and certainly not "fun police". Very friendly staff that worked around an unforeseen circumstance to give our family a lasting memory.
R.
Good facilities , lovely staff, Very tranquil , nice place to stay Facilities well Kept Plenty of room too, One of the better places of in the country.

If you are wanting to camp, Ruakaka is ideal! It provides all the facilities you need like toilets/showers, communal kitchen, communal laundry, bbq area, playground and tennis court. I saw they also have cabins you can hire if you are not the camper type. The beach is 😍😍😍. Absolutely stunning! I don't know how to convince anyone more. Staff are very friendly. We paid for a powered site that provides a tap and a wire clothesline. No pets are allowed here, and kids cannot ride bikes around the campsite either. Quiet time is around 10pm. Small things don't make into big things just be happy and comply 😊 I would choose to come here again again. Thanks Ruakaka beach holiday park for a memorable experience. 😊
V.
It's an ok holiday park!! the kitkitchens do not have any utensils, you pay extra for a shower, only one BBQ area with 4 regional park type of grill for all campers, could not find family shower/bathroom. But the area is amazing they have a small playground for kids a few shower and bathroom places.
A.
We had a great time camping here. Clean facilities. Great proximity to neighbouring beaches. However, staying here you CONSTANTLY feel like you're going to be told off. This park is very strict. Camp staff literally patrol the place looking for insignificant issues.
m.
Great place very large good clean toilets and showers, very good communication we are in locked down had two text given information were to get food chemist's extra
J.
Absolutely lovely holiday. The views on our beach site were beautiful. All facilities were very clean and lots available to use. Would highly recommend.
S.
Fantastic campground, beautiful location, family friendly, close to great beach and a child friendly lagoon. Good facilities with multiple shower/toilet /kitchen blocks all clean and tidy. One of the largest campgrounds around, but it's a huge area so doesn't feel to crowded. Will definitely be back.
J.
Bit disappointed that we all took our bikes up and then found out that no bikes are allowed, I feel like this is something that needs to be really highlighted on their website. Great facilities but wouldn't go back with our younger kids as the walk to the actual beach was really long.
S.
Good location. This was our first time there. The park was virtually empty. On our final day there was a lot of rain in the morning. I asked if we could leave our camp site just a little later so my children could play on the beach. The response was our check out time is 11am. No compassionate approach to stay a little longer due to the rain. Be aware of places where no movement or consideration is given. Such a shame.
C.
Visited a friend who has been camping here. The most beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. Bird life was amazing to see as well as the incoming tide. Ablution facilities really clean too.
D.
Stunning place to recharge the batteries before hiding back to work.
M.
Lovely place, very clean and friendly staff
A.
Fantastic camp grounds! So close to Auckland. Hidden Gem. Staff were friendly and informative. Communication from the park was top notch. Amazing views, right next to the estuary. The estuary is clean and great to swim in. Beach is a few minutes walk, small surf, beautiful white sand, big beach. Few minute walk from the dairy, small selection of booze, bait and bits available. About a 5min drive from a Fresh Choice supermarket where you can get anything you need.
M.
Great location, well organised, clean and efficient. Our kids had a great time. My only complaint is that bikes can't be ridden on the grounds for "safety reasons"...not gonna deduct a point this time, but seriously it's time to change the policy guys. Parents are best placed to decide whether it's safe for their kids to ride (as they do at just about every other campground/location in NZ). Adults also increasingly like to ride bikes e.g. motorhome owners often have a couple onboard so they can ride to the shops etc rather than having to drive the motorhome back through the campground and out for a short trip (which is actually more of a safety concern, in my opinion).
K.
facilities and location are awesome! however, management are rude and unnecessarily uptight. rules are strange and a strong police/security presence gives off the idea of an unsafe environment within the camping grounds
J.
Brilliant camp. The grounds are extremely well maintained and the location stunning. Facilities are clean and every thing works well. Good winter rate special. We stayed 2 weeks. Had a great site in camp 4. loved the location.
L.
Loved this Beach park because it was so clean and well appointed. Kitchen with stove and hot plates.
Showers were hot and tokens available at the office. They don't accept coins tokens only for a5 shower. That's plenty of time.
Laundry facilities and clothes line also available.
E.
10/10 holiday experience in camp 4. Absolutely stunning views from our tent. Kitchen/bathroom facilities next door and were always clean. Awesome playground for kids. Lovely peaceful atmosphere. Will be back in the summer.
j.
Great spot and really great value. We stayed for a couple of nights with the family on a fishing trip. All tide ramp is only a very short drive up the road. Friendly staff and a very chill relaxing vibe about the grounds. Managed to run the battery dead over night on the cadillac some how and was delivered jumper cables to the car to help us out by staff. A+++ from us. Thanks guys will be back again for sure.
C.
This was only our second NZ campsite experience, unfortunately new here near as nice in regards to the kitchen and bathroom facilities, the kitchen did not have any utensils (not sure if that is actually normal and the last one we were just lucky) and not even a kettle. The shower block was not very clean at all. However the play areas, camping areas and nearness to the beach definitely redeemed them as they were all very good.
K.
Nice Holiday park. Probably great for kids since they have a big playground and such.
The facilities are very nice but also pretty basic. The stoves in the kitchen are coin operated which I didn't like, (hence the 3 star review) but beyond that everything else was nice.
We went for a walk on the beach and its truly gorgeous at this spot. Definitely worth staying for a night or two.
l.
Camped there the last two Easters. Loved it! Great facilities and well kept grounds. An easy walk to the beach and a quick drive to the supermarket for supplies. We camped with another family so 5 kids all up. Hardly sore them and felt safe having them at the playground .
c.
Had an awesome couple of days away in our caravan, peaceful and quiet. Very relaxing. Great toilet, shower, kitchen blocks. Property is so pretty.
N.
The most amazing setting! If you're looking for a getaway by the beach, then this is definitely the right place. However the amenities are basic.
It was very quiet when we were there, we really only saw one other couple the whole time.
The only downside were the showers. When our family of four arrived for our one night stay, we were given six tokens - good for 30 minutes of cooking or a 5 minutes shower. Unfortunately none of us, including that other couple we ran into, could get more than a tepid shower out of the system.
The kitchen was super clean, but lacked anything beyond hot water, rings to cook on and a fridge.
That being said the views more than made up any downside.
P.
One of northlands best campsites, if not the best. Various different camping spots, cabins and caravans. Great for kids, not bad toilets and wash rooms, but a beautiful estuary and beach wow.
However, riding bicycles around the camp is forbidden which seems very over reaching and disappointing.
K.
At first I didn't like it but now love coming here it's a big recommend clean big area next to beach depending on what campsite oasis shop next door bbq area just Awesome for family friends or whatever Awesome staff azwell so yeah
B.
Great site lovely view of the sea, very clean facilities and good laundry well worth the extra night 🙂
E.
Fabulous place to stay, my only gripe 5 minute showers just not enough time for a Woman to wash and condition hair and wash body and rinse conditioner off, had to use 2 80cent tokens and mine is short not sure how ladies with long hair get on ?, lovely friendly staff 🤗epic views and fabulous walks 👍
J.
Friendly helpful polite staff. Relaxing weekend
J.
Absolutely stunning location and great camp ground with good facilities. Staff are friendly and helpful. The dunes have some amazing bird life and preservation
R.
Amazing place to camp!!! Go there every christmas holidays! Great atmosphere. Family friendly. Staff great! Grounds well cared for. Grateful swimming for kids and adults with the choice of either estuary calm or surf beach with smaller waves. Great memories are made here! Come visit!
C.
This is a great camp site, but staff are sticklers for the rules. Don't try to check in before 1pm, there's a swipe card gate system and likely to be no staff in reception.
Worth trying to get a powered site in area 4 in my opinion - overlooks the estuary.
Good clean facilities, limited fridge and freezer space.
Great options for safe swimming for kids in the tidal estuary. Clean water and nice sand unlike many estuary areas. A ten min walk to main surf beach from the camp ground. The surf beach is beautiful white sand and a very long beach.
H.
Awesome spot, great facilities
L.
A beautiful spot with access to the estuary and surf beach. Plenty of facilities. Not far to get to shopping centre. Good staff.
A.
Arrived to be greeted by very friendly and welcoming hostess. Great rate and service. Nice clean facilities and good amenities.
M.
Good choice of cabins,tents sites with or without power as well as caravan options. Really close to the beach which is handy as well as showers and toilets scattered around the complex. Good family location.
N.
Whilst the campsite had a nice relaxed feel in a beautiful location, and nice sized pitches, the facilities were really out of sync with the number of people using them. EG the fridge and freezer on Camp 4 were more suitable for a couple of families, not a site of 45, powered or not. The situation was exaccerbated by the lack of a labelling system. There were just 3 showers too. Maintenance of these facilities fell short of expectations eg dirty fridges and freezers and broken shower door locks. In 2020, there should be recycling facilties for cardboard too! Combined, these things marred the overall experience.
N.
Superb location, pretty dear in comparison, paid 34 dollars for an unpowered site which doesnt include showers or kitchen usage, this however can be bought for 60 cent per 5 min shower or 30 min kitchen. Showers and Toilets were clean, toilets were not lockable. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
P.
Friendly staff, spacious tidy grounds&amenities. Handy to beach.
M.
Great spot and amenities. Only criticism is that it is a fairly long walk to the actual beach from the campsite! The estuary is OK for kids paddling at high tide.
B.
not a bad place to camp, awesome place, hot water is temperamental, just really odd that there's a poop close to our tent but there's no animal around
N.
Great beach to just chill.
K.
What a great facility for kids, families and everyone really! I love the birdlife up there, two waterways to choose from beach or estuary. Always such clean and tidy facilities, they really take pride in this family run campsite. Would recommend to all
J.
Affordable camping with excellent facilities and maintenance. Beach is a 10 minute walk away with a patrolled area. An evening curfew is in place meaning no noise after 11:00 pm, great for families, young people not so much!
C.
Hi Team at Ruakaka Holiday Park

Thanks once again we had a great stay. Highly recommended

Very welcoming staff enjoyed my stay
L.
We had an amazing 5 days at Ruakaka Beach Holiday Park after Christmas. Spotlessly clean ablution facilities, lovely playgrounds for children, large open spaces for them to play and very peaceful nights. Staff are very friendly and helpful as well. I would definitely recommend this holiday park to my friends and family.
K.
Awesome experience camping at the holiday park. Staff were friendly, and kids club was awesome. Amenities were clean (although showers weren't working in our area). Will def be back...
J.
Beautiful location. Very clean, with amazing views of the estuary and further out the pristine Ruakaka beach.

Awesome camp with great facilities. Beach front sites with killer sunrise.
J.
Lots of space and right near the beach. Will bring the kids next time.
B.
Lovely laid back NZ camping experience. Water, tides, sand, mud, crabs, shells... Everything necessary for a relaxing holiday with or without the kids.
R.
The facilities are clean showers are 50c and nice and hot the kitchen could do with up grade a little over all still worth 5 stars
J.
Loved this Holiday Park. Nice walk up the estuary to the white sandy Ruakaka beach. Nice facilities and very good laundry. Nice time of year before it gets too busy. I'll be back again.
N.
Amazing place to take your family or even just to get away if you don't want to go too far. Always lovely and friendly staff. I've always enjoyed my holidays there
M.
Been here twice & counting... Clean, well organized campgrounds and kids can definitely enjoy swimming all day long.
R.
A very nice campground right next door to a birdnesting reserve. We saw a lovely lot of different birds here - even Jan van Gents!
M.
This motorhome park is super clean, and well maintained. I enjoy the white sandy beach. You can walk to the beach from the holiday park. They use tokens for showers, but I find the time is sufficient.
E.
Always clean, tidy and well supplied with everything a 'glamper' could possibly want - hot showers, powered sites, flushing toilets and kitchens equipped with hobs, toasters etc etc Will definitely be back again!
D.
Loved our stay. Management e extremely helpful even on a ultra busy weekend

(Translated) I was very lucky to be in an almost empty place in March and to look for a nice place on the beach. This campsite is particularly popular, as you can see in the other photos.
The equipment is not brand new anymore but was completely sufficient. The course itself is quiet and beautifully situated in the bay.
The view and the beach are very nice, especially in the morning. You can collect shells and go for a tide change but be careful when the tide is high!
(Original)
Ich hatte das große Glück, im März auf einem fast leeren Platz zu sein und mir ein schönes Plätzchen am Strand zu suchen. Dieser Campingplatz ist nämlich besonders beliebt, wie man auf den anderen Fotos sehen kann.
Die Ausstattung ist zwar nicht mehr ganz neu aber war vollkommen ausreichend. Der Platz selbst ist ruhig und schön in der Bucht gelegen.
Ausblick und Strand sind sehr schön, vor allem am Morgen. Man kann gut Muscheln sammeln und gerade zum Gezeitenwechsel spazieren gehen aber Vorsicht bei Flut!
P.
(Translated) Great discount for TA Hiker! Unbeatably cheap cabins that are very clean and warm! There is plenty of seating and the sanitary area is clean.
