Campground Layout and Features

Sharp Park Campground has 120 set but unmarked campsites on grassed areas. The larger area has 100 sites, while the smaller area across the river has 20. The area is gently undulating, but finding a flat spot is not difficult. It is shaded in parts. It is possible to receive sufficient solar energy to charge batteries.

The number of powered sites is restricted. There are only 21 of them, and they are a little more cramped than the unpowered sites.

Rubbish bins are provided

Water is not available, so arrive full if possible.

Firewood is available for $18 a bag.

A small café operates on the weekend. Ice, firewood and limited other items are available at the office.

The fee to stay at this campground is $12 per adult per night ($6 per child per night) on the unpowered sites. Powered sites are $32 for up to two people plus $16 per adult and $6 per child for extra people. The fees are payable on arrival at the office. Upon arrival, you will be guided to your assigned site. During long weekends the fees are higher. See their Accommodation page for more details.

Stays are limited to two weeks.

You can book your stay before arrival on 040 955 0745.
