The Raetihi Holiday Park is your base for adventure in the Ruapehu/Whanganui Region. Close to the ski fields of Mount Ruapehu, the Tongariro Crossing, and the Whanganui River we are in the perfect position for your adventures. Whanganui River Canoes is based at the Raetihi Holiday Park, so meet here before your canoe trip, arrange shuttles to different tracks in the area, and arrange bike hire from us too! We are in the process of building the Holiday Park into an affordable one stop shop for all of your needs, and every time you stay you will see more improvements to the Park grounds and buildings.

Detailed Reviews
Our powered motorhome site was conveniently located and quiet overnight. The showers were the best we have come across anywhere - heated, spacious, extra shelves for toiletries, plenty of hooks, great water pressure and lots of hot water. No problem changing our booking to a different night and excellent value for money.

Raetihi Holiday Park is brilliant for you to stay before or after Whanganui River canoe journey, the cabin rooms are very clean and comfortable, the facilities like kitchen, showers and bathrooms are very good. All my friends are very happy to stay there, we will definitely choose to accommodate there when we have a trip in the area. Jonathan

Raetihi campground was a great place to stay. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The cabin rooms, communal kitchen and bathrooms were clean and tidy. The showers were fantastic with good pressure and heat - especially appreciated after our five day canoeing trip.
We did the canoeing trip with Whanganui River Canoes, operated out of the same location. It was a very well organized and seamless operation.

Cabins were nice and clean, bunk beds adequate but be prepared to take own cutlery and crockery as rhe communal kitchen had very few items - no teaspoons nor dessertspoons, was interesting eating cereal with a fork. Understand that things disappear but when we rang specially to ask if these things were provided and told ‘yes’ then they need to keep restocking if its necessary. Otherwise facilities were great.

Equipment worked well, instructions were clear, safety briefing was helpful. Staying at the holiday park the night before made things run smoothly. Showering at the holiday park after our river trip meant that our drive home was much more pleasant, too

So clean & tidy!
We stayed in a cabin - which was small but all we needed. It was cold & rainy during our stay and the heater in the room made it toasty & dry. Very impressed with how clean & tidy all the facilities were. Showers were awesome and the bathrooms immaculate. Would definitely stay here again.

The service was absolutely fantastic! The couple who run the place are so genuinely kind and helpful, it made a huge difference.
Super affordable cabins, too! The kitchen facilities are simple and somewhat limited, but has all the essentials.
Definitely highly recommend staying here whether you're doing activities in the area, or just passing through.

Really nice campground, great facilities, and helpful staff. The gear and information provided for our canoe trip was excellent, and everything was well-organised, relaxed and friendly. We really appreciated the refreshments provided at the end of our trip, and being able to get cleaned up and showered before continuing on our journey. Thanks for an awesome river adventure!

I highly recommend this resort! The room was clean and cozy, the bathroom spotless, with hot and luxurious water available all day long.
The shared clubhouse was well-equipped, clean, and perfect for our meals. The outdoor play area for the kids was fantastic, including a well-crafted wooden house and sports equipment.
But the most important thing was the warm and caring attitude of the staff.
They saved us from a challenging situation with so much kindness and generosity, making us feel completely at home.

Upon arrival, reception was very cold and unwelcoming. As someone with a disability, it would have been nice to have been shown the facilities and where I was going to be sleeping not given a number and sent off to find my own way.
Other than that, it is a fantastic place. Facilities were clean, my cabin was lovely and tidy with a very comfy bed. Phenomenal views of Mt Ruapehu. Appreciated the ramp on the outdoor decking area which made accessing the bathroom/shower much easier for me. Fabulous showers for anyone who loves great pressure! It was a very relaxing and comfortable place to stay.
Reception on departure was so kind and loving as it was different staff. Wish I had gotten that reception upon arrival. But would definitely stay again!
