Brook Valley Holiday Reserve sits at 600 Brook Street in The Brook, a quiet valley on the edge of Nelson, adjacent to the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary.

The campground offers powered and unpowered tent sites, basic cabins, and a motor camp area, all sharing communal facilities including a camp kitchen, toilets, showers, laundry, and limited Wi-Fi.

The location suits families, school groups, walkers, and mountain bikers, with direct access to historical walking tracks and cycling and hiking trails in the Nelson area.

A regular weekday and Saturday bus service connects the reserve to Nelson's town centre, which is also reachable on foot in around 30–40 minutes. Dogs are not permitted on the property.
