16 Beach Haven Place, Paraparaumu Beach, Paraparaumu, Wellington/Wairarapa, North Island

DESCRIPTION:

Although not right on the beach, this attractive camp has the entire beach  ambience and its own walking track to the sand. Paraparaumu is a thriving community, with an excellent shopping mall and vast array of eating places.
Well-hedged, landscaped and sheltered, this camp has a number of long-term campers in residence, but there are still plenty of sites for casuals. A nice touch is the ability to shower and wash in the privacy of your own en-suite facility on each campsite. There is a communal laundry with all the facilities and near the rear of the camp is a modern kitchen. Sorry, no pets or dogs allowed.

Note this camp is under new management.
