Tamihi Meadows

It was okay the main campsite is more like a parking lot but there is some nice Camp spots in the bush there's lots of ATVs and dirt bikes that roll through the campground on a long weekends there's definitely no horses out. And if you get a power spot make sure you bring extension cord because the plug-in was at the road!

We have been here a few times. Both were awesome. Lots of stuff to explore by the river. Close enough to town if u need something. Staff r great. Very helpful. We tried out one of the new sites. Wow. We will be back. Thanks.

It was truly remarkable how we stumbled upon an incredibly beautiful and exceptionally private river spot with less than 24 hours' notice for a Saturday in June. The camp host went above and beyond, providing us with friendly, attentive, and helpful service throughout our stay.The river itself was absolutely mesmerizing, and the soothing sound of its flowing waters had a hypnotic effect on us. We were captivated by its tranquil melody, which added to the overall ambiance of serenity.Considering the exceptional quality of the location and the peace of mind it offered, we couldn't help but feel that it was an excellent value. Having the opportunity to immerse ourselves in such natural beauty while enjoying privacy was truly priceless.

I was a little nervous camping here after reading the negative reviews but am so glad I still gave it a chance. 10/10 we will be going here again. The owner is super friendly and her parrot is such a sweety. She even took some time out of her day to surprise my daughter for her birthday and show her here beautiful animals. The host is very friendly and helped us out immensely when we first arrived and our original site didn't work for our trailer. She is making so many new improvements to the campgrounds and adding in cute new cabins as well. The river was amazing for swimming as well. So quiet and peaceful I actually slept in and plenty of privacy and space between sites. Please if you are a family and want a safe friendly place to camp do yourself a favor and go check it out. You won't be disappointed

I was alone and just wanted to find a quiet, peaceful place with a beautiful view. I got it. The woman I spoke to on the phone tried to help me and understand me despite my poor English, was friendly and pleasant. The man who met me was kind and completely normal. Met me, escorted me to my seat, got paid and didn't bother me again. In addition, while I drove off to the store and some of my products were left on the table available to the birds. he hid them and folded them so that the animals couldn't get to it, that was cute. It is clear that they love this place and are gradually developing, so those people who complain about some little things and give them one star, please rent a five-star hotel for $ 1,000 per night and make your claims. Thank you guys for your wonderful place.

This place could be good but: We were put in the wrong site after booking over a month in advance. The owner kept insisting it was the right spot, needless to say the next day she said we were right and we could move if we wanted. The day before she said it would cost more there if we moved. The spot she put us in had a 2ft deep by 8ft wide dip that our trailer had to sit in which made it impossible to level. We had set up and everything was in it's place so we stayed put and made the best of it. The gravel they are using is big rocks the size of oranges which makes it really hard for walking. Hard on our dogs paws as well. All the out houses were locked apparently because tenters had made complete messes in them. That was a little annoying. Luckily our trailer held a weeks worth of going to the bathroom for 2 people. Nothing is level, some sites are so so small and then others are so big you get charged as a double site. We had a 15amp power site and a few times we had our power blow. They are trying to make improvements but.....It is beautiful there. There is a nice beach area and some beautiful horses that wander freely. We were not completely turned off this place and will give it another chance in the future.

There a some things that might have been nice, but it is what they say it is. We got a camp site right on the rapids of the river, 15 feet from the rapids. People where quiet and we had 4 days, 3 nights of quiet. Yes, we could get cell phone from the site. We ate, read, did a puzzle, walked our dogs, and slept peacefully. Clean air, few mosquitoes, (very few) a restful vacation about an hour from home for $45 a night. Each site is a different price and some have power. They say pack it in

A fantastic long weekendI almost don't want to write this review because I'd like to have this little gem all to myself! But those campers who love nature should give it a try.With the fires going on, we had to cancel the campground we had originally booked for the Labour Day long weekend. We were able to make a reservation for a double site with power at Tamihi Meadows, on rather short notice. We had read the reviews prior to booking and decided that no matter what place you look at going there are going to be good and bad reviews for all places, so why not give this place a chance.The campground is a privately owned campground, and is primarily dry camping, with the exception of some sites that have power. Our site was a double site with one 30amp outlet, located away from the river. The site was large and surrounded by trees, we had no neighbors on top of us. We had some trouble levelling one of our units and the host (Dave) was helpful and provided us with some wood to assist us. He came to our site later to make sure that everything was good.The grounds are beautiful, heavily forested, a river running beside it (there are spots along the river, the ones with power are less private, the ones that are private do not have power), the owner has horses that come down and graze and you can go up to them and pat them. There is also a great beach area.On our 2nd day, the owner came down to make sure that everything was going well. I can tell you that she has put a lot of thought into the sites there, entrances to sites make it easy to back up or drive right in, some double sites allow for parking side by side, others you can park in an L" shape and create even more privacy. The owner does pay attention to the complaints that they get and I think that she is slowly trying to incorporate things that make sense for that campground

We loved being on the river and enjoyed camping there for two night. Host Dave is very helpful and nice. I would give it 5 stars if thay had washroom or if campsites were more private and had more space in between!UPD! We knew there was no washroom, and we knew that it was long week end and I think we were extremely lucky to get such awesome spot last minute! Thank you, Tamihi meadows :)
