Join us for a winter event
Even in winter, we are still camping and meeting together. As well as weekends away camping, we have some coffee mornings and mid-winter dinners planned.
Coffee mornings are a regular event in Canterbury, Taranaki and Wellington. They are also being held from time to time in some other areas. Have a look on the All Points Camping NZ - chat, share Facebook page for details of these.
Two mid-winter dinners have been arranged so far. A Wellington dinner is being held on 13 June. The Canterbury dinner is on 19 July. All are welcome, but you must RSVP in advance.
Over Kings Birthday Weekend (30 May - 2 June) a camp is planned at Bluff Farm in Canterbury
We have three camps over Matariki weekend. In Taranaki, there is a camp at Onaero Bay. We also have a camp in the Wairarapa at Featherston School. A combined Canterbury-Marlborough camp is being held at Donegal House in Kaikoura
Planning is underway for South Island Camp Fest on the Weekend of 14-16 November. This weekend of family fun and entertainment is being held at the Woodbury Domain in Canterbury.
Everyone is welcome to join us at these events. Please RSVP in advance on the relevant web page so we know how many will be there.
Our camps are a great opportunity to stay at new camping locations and to meet others with a passion for camping. If you haven’t had much experience with camping, they are also a supportive way to learn among friends.
Visit our Stop and Stay locations
All Points Camping’s network of Stop and Stay properties is growing rapidly. These properties have been recommended by All Points members. They include locations where you can camp on private property, Department of Conservation land, local authority sites and commercial campgrounds.
Most commercial campgrounds listed on the Stop and Stay website offer a discount for All Points members or have low cost camping available. Remember to show your membership card to get your discount. The Stop and Stay web pages have a comprehensive key providing details about each property and its features.
Our Stop and Stay Facebook page regularly highlights one of the Stop and Stay properties.
If you have a favourite camping spot that is not already listed, go to the Stop and Stay webpage and fill in the online form.
The best way to support our Stop and Stay properties is to share them with other campers.
