Opunake Beach Holiday Park : Opunake Accommodation — Hotel in North Island

The Holiday Park itself is wonderful but there are a few quirky items which if addressed could improve things significantly.

The boundary between public parking lot and playground and private RV Park is a semi-permeable one (1m tall fence), which makes easy access to the playground for the RV park residents challenging, but provides an unacceptable level of visibility of the belongings of the RV park residents to any member of the general public, which raises the spectre of theft considerably. Raising the height of this fence to 2m and providing a few key code access points for the RV residents would resolve this problem.

Additionally, boy-racers speed their under-muffled turbo cars at all hours of the night through the public parking lot, which drowns out the bird song one might otherwise enjoy at the RV Park. Installing a series of more speed bumps would be a considerable improvement here.

called in today .. and paid for a campervan powered site. nzmca discount was applied and very happy with site. the facilities .. toilets/showers .. are clean and spacious. camp only about 10% full this Sunday night and campers well spaced out .. on generous sized sites.

First class holiday and camping grounds, great kiddies play ground and an incredible beach which is generally very safe as long as you watch the waves and follow the rules and guidelines. There is an extremely strong and efficient surf life saving club, very active during the school holiday period and certain days during February to April when it is suitable weather for swimming. When the Surf Life Savers are on duty, at this time the beach is very safe as long as everyone listens to their advice and swims between the flags as there can be rips on this beach. Surfing depending on the tide and waves is all year round. The camp ground has great facilities, a minor shop but the Opunake township is 3 minutes drive on 10ish minutes walk away and you should pretty much be able to get everything you need for your camping and holiday...
