Waipu Cove is excellent! beautiful swimming beach, great camp ground, store nearby, 10 mins to waipu township and 40 mins to whangarei. and only hour and a half from auckland!
We are looking at going camping too this summer but am finding the prices especially at the top 10 holiday parks really expensive!! I've been using the website below to look for campgrounds - really good (sorry don't know how to do the link)
Omokoroa which is about 20 mins out of Tauranga in the harbour. We spent about 5 years going there when our kids were little and the reason we loved it so much was that it was a small, friendly campground that felt safe. Great playground for the kids and 3 pools varying in temperature. It's not right next to the beach but it's a quick drive. The beach is really safe as it's in the harbour and is nice and shallow. The grass and some sand is shaded by trees which means you can stay there all day without fear of getting burnt to a crisp! Definitely worth checking out.
