Opoutere Motor Camp

We stayed at this camp about

We stayed at this camp about 6 years ago. It is in a lovely setting, can walk thru big pine trees to a lovely beach, peaceful. Camp facilities were very tired and old, so we didn't go back. Heard there were new owners about 5 years ago, so we went back for another night. the drive in had been metalled, and ONE ladies toilet had been relined. the others had bad walls, with peeling paint. Flies everywhere, from over flowing very smelly rubbish bins. Facilities even more tired - and to make things worse, power went off at 8 pm - we were in a motorhome and OK, but lots of people over in kitchen cooking (on gas) but no lights. Power was off till about 2 am, and place was pitch dark - there were about 15-20 lots of people camping there. Feel in a power cut, owners should put some sort of lighting, at least at the ablution block - candles, lanterns, or whatever. Next morning, about 8.30 man came and cleaned the toilets - hosed them all, and the floor. As the guests were still there, we had to puddle thru all the water on the floor - and dodge the man with the hose - and wipe off the toilet seats to use them. Added insult to injury. Usual camp cleaning time is after 10 am, when guests leave.
