Whangamomona Camping Ground — Hotel in North Island

Lovely old school campspot that breathes 'History'.

We had a warm welcome to our stay by the owner and his cat. Like the million signs on the campsite will tell you: it's cash only. But not to worry - the pub down the road can help you out.

Even though the place might look a bit old, the facilities are all working well and this place had everything we needed. You're surrounded by beautiful nature and cute farm animals.

The town is walking distance from the campsite and has great history and is a beautiful setting for photography, if that's what you're into.

The neighbourhood is quiet, even though you're super close to the highway.

Price - value is great.

All in all we recommend...

Avoid if you are in a self contained caravan. There is no dump station, nor is there any water outlet available to fill your campervan. When asked if the camp site had a water tap to fill our tank, the strange cryptic response of the person working at the camp site "it is raining". Not very useful frankly, nor was the person particularly polite. The camp site was very tired looking. The shower rooms were not heated and big gaps at the top of the walls meant that the room was particularly cold. Unfortunately, in my opinion, you should save the 30$ camping fees for another...

Hidden gem! Cool site with plenty of history around. You are surrounded by chickens, a horse and the friendliest cat ever!! (With 6 toes) The camping is 100% worth the 15$ a night per person. You get a warm shower and a kitchen with a boiler for boiled water. Nice centre on walking distance with a local pub (recommend). The spot we had was nice, clean and the grass was short. Richard does his best to keep everything as good as possible and is very friendly and fun to have a chat with! Thank you Richard! We stayed here on 18/12/24...
