Time for buy your tickets for Camp Fest 2025
Camp Fest celebrates the whole spectrum of camping in New Zealand from small tents through to large camping vehicles.
Join us for an awesome time at Camp Fest 2025. It's now time to book your tickets for the weekend of 21-23 February.
Enjoy a weekend of fun, music, food and family-friendly entertainment in the Bull Domain. Camp Fest 2025 focuses on children and their families: our future camps.
There will be activities for all ages. Experience an awesome line-up of entertainment as well as craft, trade and food stalls, and camping-related workshops.
The stage programme will include story time for the littlies, a kids talent show, open mic sessions and live music.
Playing live on Saturday afternoon and early evening will be Jeff and Sheree Acoustic Duo, Karen Clarke Blues Woman, Tina Turley and the Kiwi Connection and Light Years (one of Manawatu's best loved covers band).
You can register to camp at Camp Fest 2025 or be a stall holder.
There is lots to see and do on your way to Camp Fest. Include Camp Fest 2025 in a road trip around the lower North Island.

Bumper summer issue of Camping the Kiwi Way
The Summer issue of our magazine Camping the Kiwi Way is full of great information and ideas for all those who camp.
There are plenty of ideas from other travelers about the places to visit and stay this summer. This includes places to take your tent and ideas for travelling with pets.
It includes details about what is planned for our third annual Camp Fest in February 2025 at the Bulls Domain. There are also ideas on things you can do and see on your way to and from Camp Fest 2025.
This issue also includes a feature on making camping accessible for everyone; this involves more than installing accessible toilets.
And there are the usual features - recipes, a puzzle, details of some of our Stop and Stay locations, an update on DOC sites, details of festivals which include camping and a list of future All Points camps.
You can access the Summer issue on the Camping the Kiwi Way website. You can also buy or subscribe to printed copies of the magazine.
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.

More camps are planned in autumn and winter months in both the North and South Islands.
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.
