When we met Stan and Sara in the Catlins NZMCA park, Stan who is from Alexandra said, that we had to make sure we stayed at Vals POP.

Val and her husband Russell have been hosting NZMCA’rs since the early 1990’s and she is one of the earliest POP’s in the NZMCA bible. They’re both really nice people and their property is just superb with some power points and a complete Shower and Toilet setup setup in the corner.
There is even a shed for happy hour on one side and it is beautifully quiet down a long right of way.
Pam and Bob from Dunedin were there in their Caravan and they’ve been helping with some of the gardening and maintenance. The gardens are spectacular.
We popped in to check in for a park briefly early in the afternoon and then went for a nosey around Clyde. Its a great wee town with a great cafe in the old BNZ building wher we had these amazing date cakes along with a cup of coffee.

After a quick look at the Clyde Dam, we headed back as there were only three power points left at Vals and its first in, best dressed for $12 a night.
We joined in with the others there in the corner shed in the sun for a few drinks with cheese and biscuits as you do.
A great place to stay and we’re looking at heading back there to have a decent look around Alexandra and Clyde.

Great to see that Val’s Pop is still going strong. We understand that it was NZ’s first ever Pop, so that makes it very special. And she is very welcoming too, we remember.
