Mount / Mt Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park
4.5/5
Couldn’t find the entrance initially (it’s at the beach end, not port end).
Guy at check-in was really friendly and gave us a fantastic spot just below the mountain with an excellent view of the beach. Lots of walkers heading up the mountain in the morning, but not too early. Showers were hot, but you need to constantly press the button (no biggy!). Tried to use the dump station for grey water in our section, but it didn’t reach, so had to drive down to the main camping area. Campsite is an excellent location with the town, beach and mount within walking distance. Would recommend!

Long Bay Motor Camp
3.5/5
First night’s stay in New Zealand, we had a great view of the sea from our spot and was perfect for a swim in the morning!
We were woken up at around 7-8 as the owner’s 1950s tractor came past, not the end of the world. Nice dog followed him around the whole time, which was great to watch. Lovely walk directly above the campsite into the forest. We also walked to the next beach, but just found a load of drunks who were freedom camping, we swiftly heading back. Would recommend site.
