North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Thames ▷
Tapu Domain and Beachfront Reserves
Good little spot, only room for 3 campers if parallel parked but the area is designed for angle parking so could accommodate 5, NOTE read the sign and don’t park on the water front side of the access
road as the Ranger patrols regularly.

North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Whitianga ▷
Omara Boat Ramp Reserve

Ferry Road Carpark Stopover Area
5 minutes walk to CBD well set up but no toilets / dump station etc but a super loo <5 min walk away very clean, 50 cents to gain access for toilet / cold shower extra $2 for 4 minute hot shower, only
down sound to stay was the little tourist train across the road that blew its horn every couple of minutes during business hours, stayed here during the day and overnighted at 5 mile bay because could park close to water, heaps of bays and is very quiet.
