Foxton Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park

We have stayed here before - when it was a top 10, just for one night & in a cabin. We had a great time & promised the kids we would return. We did & stayed 5 years later, in summer for a week with our friends. We booked together & requested sites next to each other. We arrived & we're given a site in area "B". The sites were very small. We only have a very small caravan (1979 poptop) & awning & we filled the entire width of our site. There was no space for our son to erect his tiny 2 man tent. The people next to us were having similar issues but kindly said we could pitch his tent in a small space between our two sites. The only issue was he kept donking his head on their caravan. Meanwhile, our friends arrived & were given a site far away from us - annoying as we had requested sites together - (area D), in sand, what appeared to be a literal sandpit - It appeared to be not an actual campsite at all - but the demolished area of a former permanent caravan. It was full of rusty nails, broken concrete & you couldn't pitch a tent on it. As it was Wellington anniversary weekend , the campsite was full & they had a large tent (there is no way they could fit on a site where we were). Thankfully, A lady camping near them realized what was happening & offered them a lovely site they had that was extra. We were still camping far from them though. Over the busy weekend, facilities struggled. There appeared to be a lack of toilets & showers for the amount of people there & often weren't overly clean. There was always a queue to use them. However, once everyone left after the long weekend, we were able to move to be by our friends (painful but worth it as we were staying a week). It was lovely once the campground wasn't so busy. We had lovely shaded, grassy sites (our previous one was dusty & dirty) by the playground, which was great for the kids & it was great to be able to use facilities freely. They were lovely & clean once it wasn't so busy. It was enjoyable & relaxing. Bbqs were immaculate & there are lovely BBQ areas that are shaded. Petanque & chess available too. There's a great playground right by the camp with great flying foxes & a pump track which kept them busy for hours. Over the busy weekend, they had a waterslide set up & even gave out free ice cream to the kids one day (real fruit!). Overall - we enjoyed our stay & would return. We just feel more care needs to be given to keep groups together when booking & perhaps to check the size of people's equipment when booking!

We were a family of 5 travelling in a motorhome. It was a great place to stop, showers were great, heater in the shower room made it even more pleasant. The kitchen is large and made cooking dinner and eating a lot more comfortable than in the motorhome which could be a little crowded with 5 of us. The walk on the beach is very nice, very interesting. Highly recommended.

Pitched our campervan on one of its plots. Fabulous place, the showers are amazing, spotless and really powerful. Receptionist really friendly. Beach a trek across sand dunes but worth it for the empty beach and beautiful location. You can drive to and on the beach instead of walking there. In town had delicious chips and a drink and delicious bruschetta at Tim Tams, local bar/restaurant

Foxton Beach Holiday Park has an effect on you - it makes you just want to come back, so we did. Nestled between the Manawatu lagoon and the Tasman sea beach, its spacious setting is tranquil. Awoke today to a Tui chortling. But there is more - facilities are unequalled and spotless, then most importantly people make a place. Here it is Tina, who is fabulous, ever so helpful and completes the perfect experience at Foxton Holiday Park. Thank you!

Great holiday park, had everything we needed. is very well maintained and clean. However the Wifi was terrible and i thought $180 for 2 nights for 2 adults and a child in a non powered site was pretty steep.

I would highly recommend this place to everyone who are traveling around the country as this was amazing as my partner is very sick and this was on her bucket list of places to go to. The staff were very understanding on our arrival and put us in a good place on site.
