Description

Weary travellers driving around the south-western coast of North Island rest at… Traveller Rest, a small, family-friendly campground in the pretty resort of Foxton Beach. Level touring sites have both gravel (for your vehicle) and grass, so you can feel nature under your toes as you set up the barbecue or open a deckchair to relax with a glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in hand… Traveller Rest benefits from a pretty excellent location. Most things you are likely to need on a day-to-day basis can be found within a short drive (some within a short walk), starting with a supermarket (five minutes’ drive), continuing with dining establishments (there are two restaurants, a fish-and-chips takeaway and a café within a 15-minute walk) and ending with a sandy beach just over a kilometre away (a 15-minute walk). Don’t fancy lugging your gear all the way to the beach? Good news: the beach car park is a five-minute drive from the campground, and once there all you need to do is cross the vegetation-covered dunes and you’re on the surf. There is loads more to keep you entertained during your coastal break, including a large green area with a duck pond, a skate park and a pump track (five minutes’ walk) and forested mountain-bike trails (20 minutes by bike). Traveller Rest welcomes well-behaved dogs on leads, and sites here come with power and water connections. However, please note that there is no dump station, so a self-containment certificate is required.
