Mount Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park - that's the one. And you can go in the hot pools too.

Its easy. Click on the icon that looks like the World with a chain link under it. Then enter the text you want underlining and then click OK and then paste in the URL of the website you want linking to ans press OK.
Voila. Thats Italian

The mount site is right next to the road and gets very busy with 'boy racers' at night so sleeping can be a problem!
If you use the Cosy Corner site then try Tommos Bar. Turn right out of the campsite gates and its about 100 meters down the road on the left. Great breakfasts and it seems to stay open till v late! There's also a Diary (corner shop) next door to Tommos. Cosy Corner is only across the road from the beach and about 10 minutes walk from the shops in The Mount.
Hope this helps

Re: Whangarei and Tauranga campsites
We've stayed at the Kiwi Holiday Park camp site at Omokoroa (Omokoroa Thermal Holiday Park) and the 1 at the Mount.
It's 20 minutes away from Tauranga but lots of facilities. It's not too spread out. The campervan site was right next to the showers and loos so didn't have far to run in the middle of the night .
Free hot pools too .
The Mount site.....yep brilliant views and ideal to be on the beach but too spread out and the van took a beating from the wind as there's not much shelter.
