When I found out camping in new Zealand didn't mean camp fires and s'mores I was pretty disappointed! What's the point of sleeping on the ground surrounded by bugs and with no showers if you can't sit around the fire and make s'mores at the end of the day?
They do it a little different than what I'm use to. We're staying at a camping "resort" that comes equipped with hot showers, toilets, blow dryers (an essential in my books), kitchen, BBQs and anything else you may need! Everyone has their own blow up mattress and there is even a laundry facility on site and of course a wi- fi station! Instead of sitting around a fire to stay warm you can set up a table to gather round! The other thing that I find comical are all the little cars! Back home camping, all I ever remember are SUVs and trucks at camp sites, none of this pee wee sedan kind of stuff! So not quite the same feel but it's always good to try something new! And with my family there's plenty of entertainment to go round so there hasn't been a dull moment yet! I'm glad I'm able to experience a typical "kiwi" summer vacation!
