Balclutha Motor Camp

I cannot fault the hosts as they were very friendly and hospitable. However I can't get over the absolute stench of our cabin. The smell of stale cigarettes was completely overwhelming and it lingered on my belongings once we left. A few people smoking questionable substances too, but I believe these were residents as opposed to guests.nnHowever, the facilities were generally good with a fully equipped kitchen and the showers were powerful - albeit a little run down. I'd return if I were camping as it was good value for money, but I wouldn't want to stay in a room again.

What a gem of a park. We called ahead and were rightly advised by Dennis that as we were planning on doing the Catlins area that day, we would be best to delay our stay in Balclutha which we did . The park is very well appointed, the showers are great and the kitchen was very clean and well equipped. I had to do a load of washing but had forgotten to buy washing powder, not a problem, Dennis’s son Douglas offered me said powder at no cost ! Not many tourist park operators are so accommodating. Machines and dryers were very efficient. Thank you Dennis and Douglas for a delightful, stress free stay . Véronique and Michael

We recently visited Balclutha Motor Camp on a 55 day tour of New Zealand from the UK. We received a very warm welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights stay. Denis was quite probably the best host we met on all of the 28 Holiday Parks we visited. He works tirelessly to keep the Motor Camp in a spotless condition. I can't recommend or rate the Campsite highly enough and when we return to NZ next year, we will definitely include it on our itinerary.

Excellent Motorhome & Caravan. Whilst not Massive in Area, the sites are well positioned. Close to amenities. Toilets/Showers/Kitchen/Laundry all very goodnWith the Kitchen having all the items you use at home. Dennis the Owner/Manager active in keeping grounds and facilities in Excellent Order. Very helpful if your Power Cord a bit short. Regards Neil the Deal
