Southern shores of Manukau Harbour top popularity stakes.
Awhitu Peninsula, on the southern shores of the Manukau Harbour, is the best place in the country to go camping, according to our readers.
The regional park camping ground has so far received the most nominations in our competition to win $3000 worth of Kathmandu camping gear.
There were also a couple of nominations for the Big Bay Holiday Park, also on the peninsula, making Awhitu a clear winner in the popularity stakes to date.
As Renee Joseph of Mangere Bridge put it: "Beach, bush, walks, swims, walk to island at low tide, birds, sheep, history ... our kids love it."
