Welcome to South Brighton Holiday Park. Our environmentally friendly holiday park is the closest seaside park to Christchurch providing the ideal base for you to explore the City and the surrounding area whilst staying in an oasis of tranquil grounds with private cabins, sheltered camping sites and mature native trees. You can walk on the banks of the beautiful estuary or swim, surf and relax on the stunning South Brighton Beach free from commercial development. The camp is located in the South Brighton Reserve which is next to a boat ramp, recreation field and excellent public transport links. Close to all the conveniences but feels like a world away once you enter the grounds, witness amazing sunsets on the estuary edge 1min walk from the grounds and watch the sunrise from the beach 5min walk from the grounds, explore the natural walking tracks through the trees, awake to the song of the bell birds and relax to seeing the wood pigeons fly from tree to tree.

This camping ground was great. Loved the little areas they had made with tree planting. Nice and close to the beach. The only issue we had with the place was some of the elements on the stoves did not work.

The location is good, and it's very clean, BUT some of the staff - t walk around looking like thunder, really surly. I couldn't find a water tap because there are so few of them. The permanent people have all had to buy their own hoses to get water, and 1 tap serves a whole lot of people. The greywater dump is hidden by a caravan, which you have to go around to dump. I don't recommend this place at all. The energy was very bad,

Lovely, clean, hot showers. Location is lovely, short 5 minute walk and you're on the beach, quiet little town area. Not Christchurch central but only 20min drive. Staff very friendly and helpful, the office sells some food but the closest shop/supermarket is 3km. Site was nice, play area for kids and seemed quite big, we only stayed one night at the beginning of our trip so didn't really explore the camp, our pitch was a little small but we could plug in the van and use the facilities so all good! One of the cheaper sites we stayed at - good value for money.

We stayed here for one of our last nights on our honeymoon. Well needed for a nice hot shower and some wifi and to just plug our campervan in and enjoy some quiet time. The bay was cheap (in comparison to many others in NZ) at $36 for a powered site and $34 for an unpowered Showers were clean and close by. There was a communal kitchen, we didnt use but looked clean. Wifi was slow but still manageable Quiet location. Thanks

I stayed here for a week with my 3 yr old. It's a very short walk to New Brighton beach, which is fantastic. It also backs onto walks around the estuary. The playground was great and my son (and I) were on the trampoline every day. The only down side was a muck up in the booking - I ended up in a cabin without an ensuite when I had specifically booked 4 months early to ensure we had an ensuite.

We choose this holiday park to stay as it was convneniant to where our Grandchildren live and stayed for 7 nights. What an amazing surprise we had for South Brighton. The shower facilities could do with repainting but were very clean and the showers have no charge and have great water pressure. The kitchen facilities were appropriate for a camp ground though we cooked in our caravan but did our dishes there and were more than happy with it. After an initial error with our booking the new owners and their extended family were over and beyond helpful and quick to make things right. The husband and wife team have taken on a big challenge to get this camping ground back after issues with the city council wanting it shut down. They are doing an outstanding job and offer an awesome area for the children, beautiful walks around the estuary, close to the beach and a very clean camping ground. Over all I rate them very high based on our experience and the genuine niceness of all the owners. They deserve support by camping here as they are trying so hard to improve it/extend and bring people back to that side of town since the earthquakes. We will definatly be returning for weekends away. Kudos to the owners and all the friendly staff including the Groundsman and the nice young lady that did the shower/facility cleaning. There are some permanent people that live there and we chatted to a few and they were lovely and had amazing stories and willing to chat away. The permanants pretty much keep to themselves and almost make you envious of the lifestyle of living in a camping ground. Highly recommend the walk around the Estuary which is easy access from in the Camp Ground :-)…

The owner is very arrogant and rude. The so called free wifi is very limited and when it runs out he tries to sell you more at $1 per 500mb. The toilets and showers are few and dirty. Lots of permanent nutters living there. Some of the grounds are semi flooded during rain. You are better to freedom camp. Avoid.

We paid $34 for an unpowered campervan site for 2 people here. We enjoyed being so close to a nice beach, but didn't feel that this campsite had much else going for it. The campsite itself is a bit confusing to navigate and the facilities were very industrial, nothing very welcoming. A fine place to camp but no special views or amenities.
