It's not all about just pitching a tent anymore; most holiday parks have a whole range of accommodation options if camping isn't your style. Holiday parks are also social spots, with communal facilities meaning there are plenty of opportunities to mix with other holidaymakers. Accommodation usually ranges from tent sites and on-site caravans to park motels and self-contained cabins, which are basically the same as a motel unit.

The Coromandel Peninsula has a fascinating history of Maori settlement, logging and mining. Gold
was discovered on the Coromandel Peninsula in the 1850s, and in Waihi about 20 years later. Around
the towns of Thames and Coromandel there are gold mines, relics and historic buildings left over
from the rush. Excellent museums explain the mining history of the area. There's still gold in the
hills - a fact you could prove with a gold pan. There are tranquil harbours on the western coast and
golden surf beaches on the eastern coast. The Coromandel Forest Park covers about 73,000 hectares of
the peninsula, the most popular being the Kauaeranga Valley, 10km from Thames. Visitors can camp
overnight, go on day walks and hike along tracks that lead into the rugged backcountry. The high
ranges have enough forest to hold and shelter many species. Birds that can be seen in the forest
park include bellbirds, long-tailed cuckoos, grey warblers, native pigeons and tui. Accommodation -
luxury apartments, villas and resorts; self-catering motels and lodges; bed & breakfast
accommodation; backpackers, holiday parks and motor camps for the budget conscious. Pet friendly
accommodation is available on the Coromandel Peninsula by arrangement.
