If we can all decide on one spot and then I will get the details up here so you can start booking in when you feel the need, the sooner the better........... however, as 80% people on here leave things to the last minute, don't come crying if the place is booked out to other tourists...

So is everyone happy about where we are going to have it or do you wanna go somewhere else?

sounds good to us.. pm us if you get details.. prices etc, as my son is keen to join me.

Yeah the motor camp in Turangi was quite big. It used to be the single men's camp for the hydro construction projects. It's a few years since I was there, it was basic but as Hitcher says, it's handy.
