Greymouth Campgrounds - Reviews and Rates

Marlborough Sounds
After a 3 hour ferry ride, we arrived at Picton in the south island.

We set up camp here for the night before heading to Anakiwa - the town at the start of the Queen Charlotte Track, one of New Zealand's Great Walks. Unfortunately, the full walk is three whole days long, and because we had the campervan we coul...

Day 4 - Thurs 26th Feb 2009 It is not well known that the US DOHS (department of Homeland Security) cunningly launched several DUMAS (detection using millitant activity satellite) around 5 years ago. This was another crazy Bush policy to try and monitor Islamic fundamentalist movements from above. The DOHS internally refer to these 'targets' as ...

Nachdem ich mich in Hanmer Springs in den Hot Pools (die mischen das heisse Wasser aus den Vulkanen mit normalem Wasser und schon hat man riesige Badewannen, oder so aehnlich) von der Wanderung erholt habe. Bin ich nach Greymouth gefahren um von dort aus ein paar andere Wanderungen zu machen. Als ich ankam hat es geregnet und leider hatte meine ...

As soon as we left Nelson the rain came down in buckets and hardly let up for the entirety of the day. Lefty, the bus driver, made the obligatory stops at the view points, but the sweeping vistas were obstructed by clouds and the only ones to leave the comfort of the bus were those with weak bladders. Around 1pm, we rolled into Panakaiki, home o...

One can't help but admire the appropriateness of this place's name. Grey weather, ( constant we(s)t coast drizzle, with rainy intervals), grey mountains, a grey river (called "Grey" - seriously), dead streets, a dead hostel and a dead-end railway track. Welcome to Greymouth! I found it highly amusing and appreciated some greyt sights: A jade mus...

Da die Wetterprognosen fuer die Westkueste sehr gut ist fuer die naechsten Tage, beschliessen wir ueber den Arthur's Pass nach Greymouth zu fahren. Der Arthur's Pass ist einer der schoensten Paesse in NZ. Man faehrt vom flachen Canterburry den verschneiten Suedalpen entgegen. Eigentlich wollten wir nur einen Tag in Greymouth bleiben, aber die Un...

Aina yhtä ärsyttävä kännykän herätyskello piippasi tänä aamuna kello 6.30 ja kamojen pakkauksen jälkeen siirryttiin hostellin eteen odottamaan kyytiä juna-asemalle. Tähän Kiwi Explorer passiin kuului siis kuljetus juna-asemalle ja muutama muukin saman lipun haltija oli ulkona jo odottelemassa kuljetusta. Kyyti saapui kello 7.25 ja juna-asemalla ...

Jeannie here. We spent some time hiking around in the rainforest area around Hokitika. The fern tree pictured here is found all over the area. We also spent an evening hiking along a beach where jade washes ashore. The day spent in Greymouth was a little anti-climatic as we waited for the campervan to have a minor repair, but we're heading off f...

Just a quick note to let you know that we're having a lovely time on the West Coast. Internet accessibility is limited on this part of the island and right now I'm writing from the pay-per-minute computer in the middle of the Greymouth Train Station. We're just about to board the train to the last major city on our tour of NZ, Christchurch...kno...
