It’s something of a kiwi tradition, when school breaks up and the days get longer, to load up the car with sleeping bags, dust off the tent and BBQ, and head away for a couple of weeks on the beach.

Summer equals camping for some families, and looking back on days past it is some of the fondest memories of childhood, beach cricket with the cuzzies and sleeping under the stars.

So we at Weatherwatch wanted to know – how many of you still get out to camping grounds over the Summer holidays? Please let us know in the poll, and tell us where you’ll be in the comments too, so we can get a good picture of our readers’ favourite spots!
