The Motor Camp Where We Lived For 15 Weeks

As I promised, I am doing a blog on the wonderful place that we have called home for the past 15 weeks.

It was called Pacific Park Christian Holiday Camp.

We found staying at a motor camp a great anitiation into bus living as we could still use the camping ground facilities like washing machines, showers, toilets, kitchen, BBQ area, as well as having access to a place to dump our grey & black water waste.
Washing machines and driers are coin operated, need a $1 coin and a $2 coin.
Showers are also coin operated, but you have to go buy special coins from at the office.
The other bonus was that the camping ground manager was happy to do us a weekly deal, because we were staying kind of long term, but also because it was there down time of the year being winter.
So we pretty much had the place to ourselves, which was awesome.

The other bonus to this motor camp, is it is situated right next to a block of shops with a dairy, bakery, real estate agents, and a few other shops as well.

This camping grounds has the rules of no smoking and no alcohol, which for us, made it sound like a great environment for children, as well as all these other fun things for you to be able to do with your family.

 This is the games room.

 Has air hockey, fuzz ball table, table tennis as well as a television for guests to use.

 They have all sorts of different cabins for guests to use. These are some lovely self contained family cabins.

Just over all the motor camp has just a great feel to it, and while we were there, the staff were always super helpful and Miss Personality made good friends with one of the ladies who works here and would often go and help her around the motor camp :)

The other bonus to this motor camp, is right across the road is the beach.
Papamoa has some amazing beaches, and they stretch for miles.
So if you want to be on a piece of it by yourself, you just drive along, till you find a space with no one on it, or you can go to the parts where everyone was.

So peaceful and tranquil is this place, that one of the memories we will take away, is getting to go to sleep in our bus listening to the sounds of the ocean every night :)
