Hanmer Springs Forest Camp

Great camp sites, plenty of options for accommodation. Very helpful staff

We stayed in one of their Queen self contained unit which should be equipped with coffee making facility, but arrived there with none so have to go asked the reception and no tea towels to dry dishes and expect the guests to wash and dry dirty dishes if not you will be charged $50. Maybe make sure that rooms are ready for next guest as people pay in full when they stay and its not cheap either. Room was ok, Receptionist are helpful

We ended up staying here for an evening as our regular camp ground was fully booked. I'd say for the size cabin (powered cabin suited for 4) we got it was really reasonable priced in terms of what's available in Hanmer. The kitchens are tidy, and the playground was enjoyable for the kids, although there were fewer facilities than we've had at other similarly priced locations. We also booked a night where there was a group, and there was singing clapping until quite late at night. I'd imagine this would be a great campground to base yourself to walk/bike trails and with the basic cabin set up, it would be good for schools etc. Short drive into town.

Awesome spot! Rooms are clean and tidy with good mattresses . Showers were free and so good! Though my husband says the mens ones weren't very good. Nice grounds. Near walks and activities. AMAZING kitchens, literally everything you could ever need right down to plates and bowls.
