- Hey everyone, this time we are camping at a real life paid campground as opposed to Freedom camping or using our DOC Pass which means we can don't need to pay the nightly fee.
It's early May we are 7 weeks out from the shortest day and we jsut need to plug into power, to get our batteries properly charged, because Solar, and Anderson plug just isn't cutting it any more.
But we really enjoyed this lovely quiet camping ground with some friends. The Site was very affordable, cheaper than most DOC sites, but having flush toilets, and a dump station, Power, makes it such a great spot.
*its a good idea to have a break in a campsite, enjoy the facilities and have chance relax.*
Yea its nice to go to a campsite, the are ussually really expensive in New Zealand for our family we're normally looking at $90 + a night even though we have everything we need onboard, thats why we try free camp, but Power, the sun is low in the sky and the solar just isn't coping.
Hey mike.. Was a pleasure having you and the girls come stay with us mike.. Thanks for the video.. hope to see you guys again..
Yea best of luck for the future mate, you'll likely see us again before the end of the year
So here I am once again, watching Leopards Go Wild at 3am. That camp ground was very reasonable and very good facilities for the price too. Way less than I was paying in Tauranga, or even Waipawa. I thought of you guys with your heating with those cold snaps just recently. I would have had to stay on powered sights as my van was electric heated. Very impressive paua diving. Only time I ever tried was at Pourerere Beach when I was a teenager and you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!
the visibility in the water around this area is terrible as well, I think all the minerals in the water settle in the pools you don't have to go out to far and you can't see a thing.
Yea we've been plugged into power for the last 3 weeks which has been really good and money saving for us as some friendly followers are allowing us to park on their property and plug in, we'll likely be back on the road in the next few days. It's been good I've been able to get closer to real time with the videos though... Did Waipawa give you a cheaper weekly rate, or did they still charge a nightly?
@@leopardsgowild I got a weekly rate at both Waipawa and Tauranga. Waipawa was much cheaper. Tauranga was $210.00 per week and Waipawa $130.00 per week. Fortunately, neither place metered the electricity on the site. Some sires in Waipawa were metered.
Nice video, loved that place with the old and new parts and the penguins. Hubby does bicycle touring from town to town, but has to stay at camp grounds and the price of them is terrible, standard charge is 2 adults even if there’s only him and his bike and tiny tent. Plus more are being sold less places to stay.
looking forward to getting back this way, haven't been for over a year now... Campgrounds are so expensive, you almost need a price for what you actually intend to use... for us, we just like a shower, and to plug into power and on average it's between $70 - $110 a night for our family... When we do stay on a site like this, it's always low cost, cause generally we just want some power and a long shower lol
Enjoying seeing NZ from afar-- Thanks for your videos !
thanks Tom, was a good excuse to park up with some power, we getting some really cold weather now where we are we've got extreme frost everywhere, pretty beautiful.
Great looking camp 👍, steampunk park looked amazing 👍
yea cool quiet and small camp ground, good prices for winter. Steam punkd is pretty fun, we didn't actually go to the attraction, but they have a few things around town themed towards it.
Kakanui is a hidden jem really. Those paua look good too. Camping grounds work well to get everything sorted from time to time. Enjoyable vid, will look forward to your next episode at Ohau.
Yea it's an awesome place, really unspoilt and natural, I love beaches with no houses, and no many people, and especially if I can get out there and get myself a feed.
whats up fam!!!! you guys r epic!!! love the journey!! amazing vid as always bro!!! see yah in the next 1!!!
Not the Temp thats not up, it's freezing but so cool... Thanks as always bro see ya in the next one... Just finished my plastering Job today so Got a couple fo fresh water surf videos to watch over the weekend.
@@leopardsgowild just Vanlife vids lately. Been super flat. Sunday and Monday guna go off tho.. surf vids soon.. maybe I'll get 1 out by tomorrow lol cheers kiwis
Nice pre winter coast trip and a great looking campground. Looks like good Paua stocks and some good footage gathering them.
SO good seeing all the Paua aye mate, You got me hooked on that diving, so glad I can tick off one of my goals which was to get out diving this year.
Hope you enjoyed the paua. Not too many places you can collect them that easily.
Oh yea mate, so good, love gathering my own meal. Hopefully theres still plenty down there when we return one day.
Great looking campground, may not be to quiet after the airtime you've given it. Love the gum boots, looking ready for some soggy ground.
Lol, I don;t think to many people will be arriving off of out video, but I do hope it helps them out a little bit. The ground sure is getting Soggy, I think I might need to get myself a pair of gumboots.
Thankfully now close to the shortest day, tough on solar with the sun so low, the campground looks good!!!
Cheers mate, yip Solar is almost a waste of time in the winter unless you can angle those panels towards the sun. Camp ground was great nice and quiet which is what we like. Small Town, good people, lots of space.
Might have to add more solar panels or get yourself a small generator.
You might think about heading North it's warmer.
No way man, into the frost we go, didn't even get above 0 degrees today, Hoar frosts are looking good... We do have our power sorted now.
@@leopardsgowild I can't stand the cool anymore. We always seem to run away from it. keep safe
About to read the article in the Motor Caravanner .sounds like the low voltage system may need survey🇳🇿👍👍
Hey mate, yea we have checked the battery and solar system this week to make sure it's all working good and yip batteries are healthy, solar is charging it's just the time of year, give it 10 weeks and the days will be getting slightly longer again. We do have some power solutions now though. We still haven't seen the Motor caravanner article, let us know if it's any good.
@@leopardsgowild the article is a good report/portrayal of what the family has been doing in the last few months/years
Hey man are you up for the fieldays this year? Will come and say hi if you are. Have you thought about putting a biggish DC/DC charger into the hi Liz good way of chucking heaps of Amps into your battles pretty quickly.
Hey Mate, no Field days for me this year, I have no Idea how big out DCDC charger is, we do have an anderson plug, but that doesn't seem to do to much to be honest, defintley kicks things back to life when connected. Good luck at field days.
Love your music. What are the musician bands?
Hey Diane, I actually don't know I get all my music off a page called Music bed which I pay for to have copy right rights to use. You could google a couple of the lyrics and it should bring the song up, especially if it has musicbed as the website.
Need more solar panels mate.
Na you wouldnt get enough Solar down here, you need something other than relying on Solar, Sun's only up for 7ish hours if it's a sunny day, If you had portable panels you could face into the sun on the right angle would be much better than stuck on the roof.
@@leopardsgowild Hamster wheels for the kids.
@@craignelson-swiftyenzed7578 I think even Soph would be keen on a bike one
Did you get the hore frost?
Absolutely
@@leopardsgowild are the rabbit fence solid ice? Alex has one going on as well but haven't heard from Ida Valley which is generally the best.
Also note if they are getting it a bonspiel could be on! The first for several years...
@@stephendickson9000 Follow us on facebook or Instagram mate, we are putting stuff up there pretty much every day if not multiple times a day, Just Leopards go wild on either
