The Region in Detail
Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Coromandel.
Northern Coromandel: Adventure & Seclusion 🧭
The north is wilder and less developed. Here you'll find secluded bays, challenging hiking trails, and the feeling of being at the end of the world. Ideal for adventurers seeking the authentic.
Mobility: Leave the motorhome behind? 🚐
Some coastal roads are narrow and winding. For trips to remote areas, it's recommended to leave the motorhome at a campsite and use a smaller vehicle (e.g., rental car). There are no toll fees on the Coromandel.
Insider Tip: Cathedral Cove from the water 🤫
The famous Cathedral Cove is a must. But instead of crowding onto the land with the tourist masses, rent a kayak or SUP and explore the bay from the water. An unforgettable experience!
