Updated rules on dogs at camps
Many All Points members travel with dogs (and other pets such as cats) and bring them to Club events. The Club appreciates that pets are valuable companions for many of our members. However, not all Club members are comfortable around dogs or want to socialise with other people's pets. Also some members have allergies to pets.
It is important to the Club that everyone attending an event is respectful of other campers. For this reason we have a set of expectations for those attending All Points camps. This includes specific rules for animals at events.
Recently we have updated these rules to make it clear that pets are not to be taken into buildings at event venues or to communal gathering like social hours or morning teas. This is in addition to the requirement that owners ensure their dogs are on a leash and under control at all times and that they clean up after their pets.

Mid-winter dinners are being planned for the Waikato, Feilding (Manawatu), Wellington and Canterbury. Details of these will be available shortly.
It is helpful for our planning is you RSVP for our camps and dinners in advance on the relevant web page.
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.
