Eketahuna Motor Camp is a campervan park and camping ground on Stout Street, Eketāhuna, in the Tararua district, rated 4.7 from 225 Google reviews. Its website describes a peaceful rural setting just off State Highway 2, about 25 minutes from Masterton and 45 minutes from Palmerston North, close to a country golf course and river fishing.
A good campervan park gives travellers the basics done well: clean ablutions, a tidy kitchen or cooking area, level sites with power, a dump station and an easy check-in. Small-town camps often have a friendly host who can tell you about local walks, cafes and fishing spots, so ask. Arrive in the afternoon in summer and school holidays, when sites fill, and check whether you need to book ahead, particularly for powered sites. Bring your own bedding and cooking gear if you are in a tent or cabin, and respect quiet hours, since many guests are early starters. Check what is available for self-contained vehicles and what facilities need a token or coin.
For travellers on State Highway 2 between Wellington and Hawke's Bay, it is a quiet, convenient overnight stop in Eketāhuna.
