This place is fantastic.
I'm not sure what that Candian lady was expecting to see, but I thought the scenery was great. When we went it was pouring with rain and there were civil defence weather warnings in place for the Coromandel. Quite a good test of our new tent. We had a great time and the kids loved exploring the stormy coastline and climbing the hills up to the lookout behind the campground. The beach was great - and it was nice to have the option of Anzac cove over the hill offering shelter from the easterly winds for the kids to enjoy a safe paddle. The facilities were top notch and very well kept. Huge kitchen area, and nice free barbeques. Also had seperate adults and kids TV/Home entertainment rooms, which I thought was silly when camping, but turned out great to catch the All Blacks games on the big plasma screen. The kids were kept well entertained in the playground. The only negative thing was we parked the car on a ants nest, and has to spray the car when we got home. We'll definitely be going back this year.
