Old MacDonalds Farm

Old Macdonald's Holiday Park sits in a farm setting alongside the Marahau River, near the entrance to the Abel Tasman National Park in New Zealand's Nelson Tasman region.

Surrounded by exotic and native plantings, the property offers a mix of powered and non-powered campsites, backpacker dorms, family cabins, and a self-contained studio unit.

Campers have access to shared kitchen facilities, hot showers, laundry, gas BBQs, and picnic tables.

A camp store stocks basic supplies including food, beverages, and toiletries, and staff at the booking office can arrange kayaking, water taxi, and other Abel Tasman activities. Secure car parking is available for guests heading into the park.

Cell phone reception is limited on-site, though Wi-Fi is available. Dogs are welcome at campsites but not in bedding accommodation.
