My first camping with aaron experience was at the Mount as they call it in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. I enjoyed and I guess it reminds me of home. The white sandy beach, waking up to the musical sound of waves and swimming without the swim suit (in summer).
The walk up the mount was challenging especially to my three year old, Aaron but I must say he enjoyed it and I had to carry him on my shoulders a third of the way from the top. The view is magnificient from the top.

You can see a few islands from the top, including Mayor Island and White Island which is an active volcano. Mount Maunganui is a surfers paradise and frequented in summer.
Just next door to the camping site is probably New Zealands only natural hot salt water swimming pools. Nice and soothing after the walk up the mount.
The camping site was well located and unlike a number of camping grounds around New Zealand is not threatened by property developers. The facilities are quite modern with new kitchens, secure electronic key toilets and baths.
