Coromandel Holiday Park - Wedding in marquee

RiverGlen Camp & Backpackers

Riverglen Camp and Backpackers at Coroglen, situated on the banks of the Waiwawa river, with one of the best freshwater swimming holes on the East coast of the Coromandel.

We are surrounded by native bush, central - it's an easy 15-minute drive to Hot Water Beach, Cathedral Cove, Tairua or Whitianga and a beautiful waterfall is just 10 minutes walk from our gate. Spend the day enjoying the beaches and local activities and return to wash of the sand and salt in our amazing swimming hole or chill out at the camp while the kids and the dog wear themselves out in the clear water of the Waiwawa river.

Awesome spot! Is pet friendly and the best spot for dogs. Our two where ao happy next to the river. We had a great private spot tucked in a clearing surrounded by trees. Was lovely and private and perfect for our dogs to run around. Thanks so much for a relaxing few days!
