I haven't been to Glenaire Campground for many years but i have many memories. As a young boy dad used to take us at least once a year and as all who have been there would know the long dirt road at the turn off to the camp ground. well the adventure would always start there. being the youngest, dad would let me sit on his lap and steer the car all the way to the camp ground. as soon as we got there i would collect firewood for the fire because i think a camp fire is what makes a camping trip complete!! its not camping without a fire.
Glenaire was the ultimate camping experience, it had everything. sand dunes,running river for fishing or swimming, endless walking tracks for exploration, the surf beach just a short walk, the 4x4 tracks to the beach (which i think you cant use anymore) even waking up to the misty mornings with cows surrounding the camp ground hearing their bells dinging untill the farmers hurded them away with another day of adventure awaiting! and yep starting with a camp fire!! and bacon and eggs of course.
Glenaire holds a special place in my heart.
