What people say about us...

We have wintered over at Bethany Park for the last 10 years, and every year has been fantastic. The facilities are excellent with lots of extras, the staff helpful, friendly and caring. With the many other campers it has been weeks of fun, laughter and enjoying lots of social activities together.

If you want a winter’s holiday, then Bethany is the greatest camp you will find.

Norma & Eric Pearce, NZMCA members

The climate, the amazing wildlife, the friendships made and the feeling of being part of a big caring family, are just some of the reasons we Winter Over at Bethany Park and have done so for the past 5 years. Also, we appreciate, the support of the Park Managers, Roger and Sue and the total management team, who go out of their way, to make each day special and everyone so welcome. Bethany Park, One Big Family.

Dave and Raewyn Milner, NZMCA members

We really enjoyed the park setting, trees, birdlife and the friendliness of staff and campers. The facilities, kitchen, bathroom and library are excellent. It is a quiet, sheltered location.

Winter overers, NZMCA members

Bethany Park is an awesome place to base your camp from – lots of activities are in close proximity, such as mountain biking, tramping, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, etc. The waterslide in the campgrounds is an extra bonus and a hit with everyone – adults included! The accommodation is perfect for school camps and the hosts are very hospitable and welcoming – nothing is a problem. We return every year and our students love their time here.

For 20 years Chilton Saint James School’s students have absolutely loved staying at Bethany Park for their Year 9 camp.

The camp staff are organised, easy to deal with and always keen to help the students have a safe and happy time. The location of the camp, at the entrance to the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park, enable easy access to the Park, the beach, the sea and bushwalks – so the activities available are many and varied. The providers in the area, such as sea-kayaking, abseiling and water taxis, deliver first class service and expertise.

Bethany Park is spacious with comfortable cabins, clean amenities, a great dining/ recreation hall and cosy conversation pit. The food is always excellent and specific dietary needs are well catered for.

The wonderful weather is a bonus, for many years we came to Kaiteriteri in September and what a treat it was to leave cold (maybe windy) Wellington behind to bask in lovely spring sunshine.

I unreservedly recommend Bethany Park for a memorable camp experience.

We loved the big park/playground at Camp 1 under the shade of the trees. Loved the atmosphere and how clean things were kept. The linen was an awesome option and really nice clean fresh things. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We loved movie nights. We like all the signage around and the safe environment. 🙂

We love this camp ground. Friendly staff and very clean and tidy facilities. There is lovely music playing in the ablution blocks. We will be back soon.

Great camp. Friendly managers who are very welcoming. Used NZMCA Camp Saver which was great value. Good choice of sites and facilities. Bike trails nearby and Motueka not far by bike. All though not beach front, its sheltered from the prevailing winds. Thanks from kiwisflythecoop.

We had a great time at Bethany, the facilities were fantastic and staff friendly and helpful, we made use of the camp saver scheme and we’ll definitely be back.

We stayed here two nights. Loads of space and we had free choice to where we parked. We walked down to the beach – about 10 minutes along a track and also along the coast to Stephens Bay. The paths are well marked and easy to follow. Even though it was a weekend and there were lots of children around the site was really quiet. Showers and loos were super clean. Great place.

Travellers, Campermate

I really liked the feel of this campsite! Very friendly and safe. Yes it’s a big site but they definitely have enough facilities. Great indoor/outdoor kitchen area with bbqs and plenty of toilets & showers. The plots are also really good size! Was nice to stay here after staying at freedom camping sites. Also free movie most nights at 7pm!

Travellers, Campermate

Bethany Park is fantastic! If you enjoy beaches, mountain biking, swimming, kayaking, abseiling & tramping you’ll love Bethany Park as a base for your camping experience. The people are great to deal with. The facilities are clean, well maintained and new projects are always on the go. Personally I’ve been taking classes for 12 years and Ranzau’s association stretches a lot further back than that (long may it last). Ranzau School loves it!

Declan O’Malley, Deputy PrincipalRanzau School

A very well kept campsite, absolutely spotless. Very friendly staff who gave us good information about both local sights and recommendations about places worth a visit further afield. We stayed two nights and we were very pleased with everything! One of the best campsites we’ve been to during our travels through the country.

International travellers

My husband and I recently had 8 nights stay at your holiday park. We thought it was absolutely wonderful. Our site was perfect and the facilities were amazing. Loved showering while listening to the Magic station (my favourite). We will be back – thank you.
