Russell – Orongo Bay Holiday Park has a relaxed atmosphere and the facilities are well maintained. We were happy to extend our stay. Having stayed at branded campsites, we found we preferred the more laid back approach here and felt far more comfortable and less restricted.
James and Ailsa from United Kingdom
Russell – Orongo Bay Holiday Park is the most amazing place, you have the best of all worlds here – native bush all around, a beautiful town and amazing beaches you have to see to believe. The staff were very helpful from phone calls to emails. We can’t wait to come next year.
