Greytown Campground

Glamping tent for 5 nights - great set up - provided a lovely social space for the rest of family who were staying in smaller cabins/tents. Quite magical space - very comfortable bed and sweet quaint furniture. Easy walk to Greytown shops etc, and wonderful setting in old english trees and native bush. Seems that some folks have felt troubled by the staff occasionally - I found Ken a little quirky, and always charming and helpful. Bathroom and kitchen facilities are a bit rustic but more than adequate. Weather was very variable - tent got hot on hot days but opening flaps fixed it - several cold nights, extra blankets were great but I did need to use a heater (not provided).

Great hosts, Nina and Ken, helpful and knowledgeable. Very “Old School” site, very New Zealand. Clean and comfortable accommodation, beautiful surroundings of the Memorial Gardens and old Bush Walking area. Free open air Lido adjoining, run by local council for benefit of the community. Kitchen with all necessary equipment, huge fridges to store food in. Warm, well powered showers, clean toilets and washbasins. Short walk to Greytown centre for pubs, bars, restaurants and amazing breakfasts (Try “the Offering” on Main Street). Wonderful Cobblestones Early Settlers museum five minute drive, 20 minutes walk away. All other guests seemed friendly and helpful too. I stayed in the glamping Yurt tent- great fun. Well appointed. Extra blankets provided.(Needed, as chilly late February evening!)

I went to go and have a look at campground with the view to book for a few days. Barely a few feet in i was approached by a "gentleman" asking what i was doing there, i explained and was told in the most rude and aggressive way to turn around, look the other way and walk away and that he is not living in a fish bowl. Wow! Now, if he had explained in a civilized manner i would have said fair enough and that would have been it. Common courtesy from owner/worker was sorely lacking.
