We havent been camping since having kids, but Waihi and the coromandel would be on our list.
We love the Thames coast, especially tapu campground as we can take our dogs along!!!! Would love this roomy tent !
We love camping at port Jackson every summer! 🙂
Oh what a fab prize! We actually do not have a tent...yet! But I promised my daughters we’d get one & do some camping this summer! We have heard the blue lakes in Rotorua is beautiful, so will go there as our first post of call 😊🤞
Mine would have to be Motutere right on the lakeside 😍
Pauanui! 😍 this would be amazing for my family our little boy would have so much fun 🤩🤞
Love camping and getting away from it all, would love this for my teenagers so that they can start making their own adventures. We go somewhere different every time
Anywhere I can take my dog and enjoy the great outdoors 🐾🏃♀️😎
This would be perfect for my kids and I, I would love to take them camping anywhere, it's the one thing i have never managed to do with them yet
Anywhere and everywhere throughout the coromandel has great camping spots that you can get away from it all and back to nature.
