We have never seen a camping ground so well equipped in our 50 years of camping in NZ. Literally every kitchen utensil and appliance and amazingly, even dish washing liquid, tea towels (changed regularly!) and cloths for wiping benches etc. For the kids, every entertainment fun thing is right there.

  I was at Miranda for a wedding - as were around 35 other people, all staying at the Holiday Park. The staff tell me they haven't done a wedding... read more before, and I'm not sure they have ever had to get pretty much EVERY unit ready, on the same day before! The wedding itself was on a relative's farm, but most of the guests stayed at the Park. We all began arriving from Friday afternoon, and I think I was the last to arrive, at half past ten in the evening. I had called ahead, and they left the keys out for me in an envelope, as well as a park map with the route to my chalet, and a few other things I needed. Nothing had been forgotten. I was most amused with the bunks in my room. It was noted on the park website that they were intended for children, but it was not until I got there that I realised why... there is about two feet clearance between the floor, lower, and middle bunks, while the top one is barely one foot from the ceiling! Luckily, there was also a double bed for me. I got a full sized fridge and freezer, and everything needed for basic meals was there. I had bought a few extra things from home, measuring cups and so on, and got on fine, cooking for the next few nights soon after I arrived....

The shower is good and hot water is plentiful, the chalet a little cramped, but very clean, decorated in soft neutral colours, and it is well equipped. I think it's good value for the money I paid.

Make sure you bring plenty of food, as it's 31km to the Pak N Save in Thames (closest supermarket), and 46km to Pukekohe, which has a New World, Pak N Save and a Countdown. More
