BEGINNERS CAMP - Orongo Holiday Park, Russell.
It's a long weekend so time to go camping. Orongo Holiday Park is a fully equipped camping ground with cabins which is ideal for beginner kayakers. So join us in Orongo Holiday Park for Queens Birthday weekend.
We will be cabin camping so less camping gear is required and we will be snug in the evenings. We usually share nibbles before dinner, and the Saturday night meal. Other wise you are self catering.
Cabin costs are split between residents and it's first in first serve. There are van and tents sites available if you wish to book these.
Orongo is on a peninsular so there will be trips on either side (dependent on winds of course). Beginners camps have shorter trips (15-18 km) to help build your paddle fitness. Ring Joya for further details on sharing a cabin 021 046 9036.

Orongo Holiday Park is a lovely venue for a camp. It has a full range of camp sites and cabins, so there is something to suit everyones tastes. There is a large clean kitchen with a great dining/loung area with stocked fire place and library (if you have time). There are weka running around in the day and kiwi at night. A great opportunity for bird watchers. While the camp is not directly on the beach it is a short drive to two good launch points, either Russell Boating Club or Oneroa Bay. The Kororareka (Russell) Inlet is very shelter and offers placid paddles for beginners. Conversely, for the experienced paddler, very exciting rock gardening can be available on the Pacific side of the coastlines of the mainland and the islands depending on wind directions and strength.
