About your hosts
There’s nothing uptight about life at Oamaru Harbourside Holiday Park.
Since 2006, we have loved welcoming all sorts of travellers, families and explorers to our Holiday Park accommodation that’s equal parts clean, chilled, and a little unconventional.
When you roll up in your caravan/campervan, set up at your comfy allocated spot and then hit one of our local gems — great food, pubs, penguins, or the best fish & chips.
If you have a question or need a helping hand, you’ll always find someone ready with a smile. Sometimes a place just feels right. This is one of them.
Relax. We have everything covered here.
Tent Sites
Flat and level, our 12 powered grassed tent sites, and 18 non-powered grass sites at Oamaru Harbourside Holiday Park are just the spot for stretching out and making camp. With shady patches and open spaces, you can choose sun or shelter. The fresh harbour breeze keeps things cool in summer. Settle in and enjoy easy access to all shared facilities, whether you’re here for one night or a week. It’s proper Oamaru holiday park accommodation—straightforward and comfy, never fussy.
RV Sites
If you’re rolling in with a campervan or RV, you’ll find level, hardstand parking with power hookups to suit. It’s a short walk to all the clean facilities, plus you can step outside and catch the sunrise over the harbour each morning. We keep things tidy and hassle-free, so parking up here really is a breeze. No stress, just classic Oamaru holiday park accommodation by the water.
Clean Facilities
Spotless, practical, and well-stocked—that’s how we run our shared kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry. Everything’s right where you need it, from hot showers to a kettle for your morning cup. After a day spent exploring Oamaru or taking it easy at camp, it’s always good to know you can recharge in a space that’s clean and welcoming.
