It was raining when we arrived so the very accommodating owner suggested we take one of the eight undercover bays for our campervan. Not only were we out of the weather but we had our own sink and privacy screens between vans. The amenities block is first class. Within the shower cubicle is a modern shower unit complete with glass... More

My wife and I stayed her one night on our trip around the south. Probably the best laid out place we came across for campers. The bathrooms were amazing and even the roofs over the campers made for a more enjoyable holiday. Service was friendly and Scenery was fabulous. Highly recommend this as a stop off on your journey.

We booked this site for our first night a few weeks before travelling and had seen that Jacksons Restaurant was just at the end of the road, and as this is an isolated spot would be good for a meal etc. Anyway, when we checked in the Restaurant has closed and is up for sale, and there is no where...

We found this place to be fantastic and the best of our campervan holiday parks. Surrounded by amazing views and state of the art facilities. Great lounge and kitchen area, laundry was good and showers the best! Great place to stop to break up the Arthurs Pass journey and would definitely stay again.

My wife and I spent 3 weeks touring South Island in january in a camper van and we stayed at Jacksons Retreat. It was a superb site, well maintained, clean, friendly and in an amazing location! We would thoroughly recommend it.

We got lost trying to find this place (which i'm sure would be very easy in day light....we missed it at 2200!) the owners were helpful and friendly and it didn't seem to bother them that we were rocking up just before midnight! We stayed in a large unit that is a converted barn, had a kitchen, toilet/shower, large living... More

While relatively isolated between Greymouth and Aurthur's Pass, this was one of our best stops during our 2 weeks on the South Island. The bathroom and cooking facilities are in perfect condition and spotless (better than some 5 star hotels I have stayed in) and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The campervan sites are extremely spacious (2-3x most... More

this is a great campsite, the facilities were great and every thing was spotless, the owner, Bevan, is on site and has created an excellent facility, its a sloping site with terraces so you have views across the valley.

This was the first campsite we stayed at in our campervan trip around the south island and it is only really with hindsight that we realised how great it was! The location is fantastic, with all sites facing down into the valley with great mountain views. The facilities were faultless, bathrooms spotlessly clean and a kitchen with everything you could...
