Fantastic location easy walk to town. Very friendly team. Dog friendly :) Loved our stay. Only downside is pool only open from 10am so our son was sad he couldn't have a swim before departing. However pool was lovely and clean and good depth. We will be back again!

Thank you for your lovely review. Sorry about the pool hours but as it is heavily used we have to chlorinate daily in the morning ( and clean) so it wouldnt be advisable to swim as soon as its treated for obvious reasons.

Our family spent 5 nights at Harbourside Holiday Park, we had the most fantastic time, the park was ideal for families, our children spent most of their time in the pool with the other children, riding their bikes or hanging at the playground. Judy and Mike do a great job running the park and also making sure it is safe and family friendly. They both work so hard each day and you can see how passionate they are about the place. We were here several years ago and can see the upgrades that have been done. Highly recommend and our family will be back. Thank you Mike and Judy

We had 6 adults and 3 under 2yr olds and it was perfect. We hired 2×2 bedroom units and wow they were perfect, very clean, they had everything you would need, fully functioned kitchen even, it was beautiful plus it was pretty much right next to the playground for our little ones (swings, slides, trampoline). The staff were great and helpful. The pool is nice clean and perfect for thoes hot days to cool off in and it had loungers to pop ya feet up plus umbrellas and a shelter area to sit under aswell. A awesome stay. Will definitely be comming back to stay

My Wife & I stayed at Harbourside Family Park AUG - SEPT 2021 During Lockdown. This Camp is A Credit to the Managers Mike & Jane. The Camp Toilets & Showers & Kitchen & Laundry were spotless. The Managers certainly made us feel absolutely Welcome and were very obliging and were available to assist with all of our requirements. They also have Units & Family Units which were also Spotless .This is one of only a few Camps that we can call our Favourite Camps. I recommend this Camp to all Travellers looking to relax & enjoy the Peace & quietness of a Sea Estuary Area without Ocean elements .All types of Accommodation Facilities are available from Tent Sites to Caravan sites Power & Non Power & Units as outlined above .We will return again to this Camp very soon. Thanks for a great stay. Glenn & Diane Ramsay NZMCA 58812…

We (family of 4) stayed in Jan 2021, while on our campervan holiday around the North Island. We found the staff very friendly, and helpful. The facilities were great - good outdoor cooking areas and toilets/showers in good condition. Seemed very well stocked up with all you'd need for a good break. Thank you.

We stayed at Harbourside Holiday Park last week in Feb. When we first arrived at about 10.30-11. am the guy at the office said we were too early and to go and then come back later.( We were towing a caravan....) Just as my husband turned around to go the owner said oh no come on then.(We would have gone and not come back) all looked great, lovely park, close to town, a pool..... to our dismay after three days the ladies and men's toilets and showers had not been cleaned. They were disgusting, with covid hanging over our heads, this should have been essential. Owner seen doing the garden, wife seen picking herbs from the garden and then disappearing into the house, not to be seen again..this was not good enough, cleanliness comes before weeds and lawns also throughput the day the office was closed many times we saw a few people just go away after see the office door with closed sign on it. Not good enough take our money but dont keep up the standard. We will not be back to this camp…

Sorry you felt this way Marilyn Check in times are set for a reason. Check in time is 2.00pm. This is standard in any accomodation provider. When you turned up people were still checking out. We have a lot of work to do in the camp between check out at 10am and checkin at 2pm. You need to respect check in times. I dispute the fact that toilets were not cleaned. We are in the ablutions block early in the morning, every day, so that we are not in the way of our guests. We also check during the day to ensure that toilet paper etc is replenished. Perhaps you were not there when we were doing this work. We are extra vigilant due to covid and follow strict guidelines from Ministry of Health. Thank you for staying with us and safe travels in the future. Regards Mike

Before the long drive to the Coromandel, we looked (online)into all the holiday parks in the vicinity, to pick one to use as our base for our first lengthy trip to the peninsula. This Harbourside one ticked all our boxes on paper. And our actual stay here was just fabulous. We drove around the whole Coromandel peninsular over the course of the week we had here, and called into a few of the other camps - none were a patch on Harbourside, so we were very pleased with our choice. It has everything campers could ask for, and more. The management exceedingly helpful. Even a free pre-dinner concert put on in the camp one night, featuring a local guy who had us all singing and dancing. The pool was great on the many hot days. Highly recommended for a great Coromandel stay.

We spent a night here last week. Great camp. Good flat site for our motorhome. Spotlessly clean facilities and very friendly host. Nice to see there are grey water drains near/each site. Not that we used it. But would be very handy if staying longer. Good showers and plenty of room in them. Good pressure also and plenty of water. Only a short stroll to town, marina and across the road from the harbour. Also a reasonable sized pool on site, along with playground, tramp. Definitely will stay here again.

Stayed at the camp ground in a tent with my girls. We felt safe during our entire stay. We were impressed with the facilities, they were clean, tidy and modern. Great to be able to sort our recycling and rubbish. The kids loved the pool and swam daily and also used the playground and trampoline. Great location as we walked into town to explore. Friendly helpful hosts, thank you!

We were there to check out the place before booking a family weekend, as we really liked the location and facilities. But our disappointments started a little before our arrival. In the morning, before arriving, I was charged an extra cleaning fee, so I had to call and clarify that we couldn’t be responsible as we haven’t been there yet. At that point the fee was credited back but we were expecting a super clean place as the hosts mentioned in an email how long it took them to clean after previous guests (mistakenly sent to me instead of previous guests). The place was full of sand, in the carpet, over the sinks and tables. There was no toilet paper available. The microwave display was not working properly and the fridge was leaking. Outside, there were nails in the playground that could easily hurt a child, so we couldn’t let our child play there. Before we left, I left a note explaining the situation and hoping that someone would be in contact, but no replies. They certainly don’t seem to care much about their guests.…
