Omokoroa which is about 20 mins out of Tauranga in the harbour. We spent about 5 years going there when our kids were little and the reason we loved it so much was that it was a small, friendly campground that felt safe. Great playground for the kids and 3 pools varying in temperature. It's not right next to the beach but it's a quick drive. The beach is really safe as it's in the harbour and is nice and shallow. The grass and some sand is shaded by trees which means you can stay there all day without fear of getting burnt to a crisp! Definitely worth checking out.]]> Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:21:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35977&PID=1166295&title=camp-grounds-north-of-taupo#1166295 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35977&PID=1165560&title=camp-grounds-north-of-taupo#1165560 Author: Renee & Lauren

Thanks ladies,

I've been looking at the Jason's website and NZ Camping website for ideas just can't decide where to go!

We used to go to Ohope but need a change and it was getting expensive. It's crazy the range of prices for a non-powered tent site these days!]]> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:46:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35977&PID=1165360&title=camp-grounds-north-of-taupo#1165360 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35977&PID=1165154&title=camp-grounds-north-of-taupo#1165154 Author: bopmum

We are looking at going camping too this summer but am finding the prices especially at the top 10 holiday parks really expensive!! I've been using the website below to look for campgrounds - really good (sorry don't know how to do the link)

Waihi Beach Motorcamp is lovely and child friendly.
or Orewa Family Motorcamp they even have a pool if the beach isn't the best.

We always go to the Top 10 holiday parks or if your looking for no frills try the DOC campgrounds.]]> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 17:31:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35977&PID=1165016&title=camp-grounds-north-of-taupo#1165016 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35977&PID=1164981&title=camp-grounds-north-of-taupo#1164981 Author: heaf3

Does anyone have any recommendations on good family camp grounds (preferably) north of Taupo?

Somewhere with a good beach for bub's first summer

TIA ]]> Wed, 29 Sep 2010 14:23:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35977&PID=1164804&title=camp-grounds-north-of-taupo#1164804
