Went for new years with daughter and family 3 kid's under 11 we all had a wonderful camping experience plenty for the kid's to do playground water slides flying fox and much more, facilities we're always clean, kitchen was a bit on the small size but we did our cooking on site, powered site's we're a good size we had a tent a gazebo and room to park our van. A 2 minute walk up the road we're you can get a real fruit ice cream. The camp has it's own shop for essentials. We rated our holiday 10 out of 10. Looking forward to going back this year.

This camp was an amazing experience for the whole family. The grounds and facilities were very well kept, the activities for children were awesome and adults could easily enjoy the attractions too. We LOVED the swimming holes, braziers and well-planted camping zones.

A- mazing. Family friendly, pet friendly and all round friendly, friendly. We visited for the first time over the busy anniversary weekend. While it was busy, it wasn't crowded. The staff did an amazing job of diligently and frequently cleaning all the amenities and even while mopping floors or sorting compost out of recycling bins, they kept a smile on their face and a 'no stress' attitude. The activities are outstanding. My kids thought we'd landed in heaven. Particularly popular with us was the water slide, river raft, tractor / trailer rides, confidence course and giant swing. Prices are super reasonable- once you're in, everything but the go-karts is included. Day trippers can also visit for a small $8 (ish) admission. I loved that there were braziers to borrow and a blatant disregard for most things for excessive OSH restrictions. It felt like our kids could experience childhood as it was waaaay back in my day. Swing high, jump far, stay up late, wander freely, make friends, fall down scrape a knee, get up, repeat...
Kitchen facilities were basic but clean. Loads of wood bbq's on site and you can buy firewood for $4 an armload if you don't bring your own.
We stayed 2 nights. Could easily stay a week.

We love camping at Quinney's Bush because of the spacious options amongst the trees for shade and shelter, the many activities. Lots of people in and out. Friendly staff and people. Kids playing freely. The staff are so friendly and very much enjoyed chatting around the boiler waiting for space to wash up or when bathroom was being cleaned. The dedication to keeping facilities clean and tidy is awesome.

Fabulous campsite, gets better every year we stay. So much to do to entertain the kids, great location and one of the few places left where you can spread out and not be on top of other campers. Facilities are clean and well maintained, with new things added every year. We'll be back next year for sure!

Our second year at Quinney's Bush and despite some rather average weather, we all had an absolutely amazing time. Our kids really love it here and as parents we always feel at ease knowing how safe and family orientated this camp is. The staff are always lovely (even if you have to wake them in the middle of the night! ) and the facilities are always well looked after. We found the BBQ areas soooo useful and even though we bought a brand new BBQ especially for the trip, we hardly used it because the hot plate were so much easier. The best thing about Quinney's however is of course the ability to bring our dearly loved furr baby with us! This was the absolute cherry on top and made our family holiday complete. An adventure paradise for the kids - you won't regret booking here!
Thank you so much Quinney Family. We will see you all again next year

We had the best 5 nights here at the end of the school holidays. Kids (and us adults) loved the water slide, river slide, flying fox and all the other amazing entertainment that is here. All the facilities were spotless the entire time and loved seeing staff there regularly to check everything. Reception staff were super friendly and helpful. We have been recommending this place to everyone and we will definitely be back!!!

Camping here is a wonderful experience for families. So much for the kids to do. Facilities are excellent. Abultion areas always so clean as are the kitchen areas. There is supervision at both the flying fox and waterslide at designated time slots. The staff friendly and welcoming. We'll be back next year. Thank you 😊

I had very high expectations of Quinneys after seeing it talked about on some a few "Camping with Kids" Facebook pages. Well we were definitely not disappointed. Spent 3 nights at Quinneys with 4 kids (4, 6 and 1y twins) we wished it was longer. We loved everything about it! Having stayed at quite a few holiday parks around NZ I think we have all agreed that Quinneys is our favorite by far. We stayed in the easy camp area as didn't have our usual tent set up with us. It was great, the bigger family tents had everything we needed. We also spent a night in the smaller ones and we're able to use the nearby cooking facilities to get by. The entire vibe there is great and the kids had a blast the whole time. We never once heard the old "I'm bored what can we do" from them. It's definitely not glamping or resort style accommodation but in our opinion that made it all the better, just a basic down to earth fun place. The only down side has been that every playground we have been to since we left hasn't been able to live up to the kids new expectations.

This has always been our No1 Favourite Spot for camping for many years.
Super Clean facilities as always..
The Quinney Family are amazing people along with their wonderful staff members and this stands out on your arrival until you depart. We love camping in this phenomenal location where you hear the sound of the birds throughout the day and our young family member enjoying the activities that Quinney's Bush has to offer - nature, the water hole, the waterslide, the amazing playground, flying fox and much much more. Our family member really enjoys the time meeting new friends who have now become great friends all from camping at Quinney's Bush.
One fantastic item they now offer is a selection of the very best in hot drinks and those sensational ice cold coffee's....they have the best barista you can get...!
We love this spot and highly recommend it. Thanks team for a truly amazing time once again! We are definitely locked in for another outstanding camping holiday and will be always recommending you to our friends.
Thanks a million Mark & Marama.
