It’s a lovely rural spot 15 mins from Te Aroha and 20 mins from Matamata. They have a lot of visits from cyclists doing the Hauraki Rail Trail and tourists. It was lovely seeing our All Points Camping sign on their park over property, in the cafe window and the flyers inside. They make good coffee and yo yo biscuits the old fashioned way —super yummy. Booking is essential to park in the self-contained camping area. They can fit up to 20 vehicles (for a group) but normally there are 10 spots to park-up on the grass. Open all year around. For $10 a night per unit, you have access to the toilet block, power points to recharge your bikes and wifi, as mobile reception is bad here — ask for the wifi password at the cafe. Bookings can be made at reception next to the toilet block or online. A post box is provided to pay after hours. Also on site are bike racks, a bike tool kit and an air compressor. Cafe/reception is open from 8am–3pm with the kitchen closing at 1.30pm.There’s a large event area with a climbing wall and plenty of seating onsite. Lovely spot to either stay, visit the historic old dairy company, historic churches, or have a beverage or something to eat. ckw.nz/camp-cafe77 Up Up 11 autumn 2025 , p 30

Steampunk— from north to south and back again Margaret Earle “What is Steampunk?” asked the woman I was chatting with on the verge of State Highway 1 south of Ashburton. We’d been waiting in a queue at roadworks for nearly an hour and so had got out of our cars to stretch our legs. While I was trying to think of a suitable answer, my partner Graham succinctly said, “It’s a chance to get dressed up and have some have fun”. A more precise description is “Steampunk is a quirky and fun genre of science fiction. It is often set in an alternate, futuristic version of 19th century Victorian England steam powered devices — the ‘world gone mad’ as Victorian people may have imagined.” Two New Zealand towns hold annual Steampunk festivals. Oamaru is known as the ‘Steampunk Capital of the World’ and has been the hub of Steampunk activities for about 15 years. This includes a festival over King’s Birthday weekend. The town of Thames in the Coromandel has also embraced the Steampunk genre and holds its Steampunk festival in November. Graham and I first went to Steampunk the Thames in 2018 when we saw it as a camping event on the All Points calendar. We put together really basic costumes, turned up and had a fun time. We have been to the Thames festival several times since and each year have added new things into our growing assortment of Steampunk costumes. This year was the first time we had ventured south to Steampunk in Oamaru. The fact that it is held in the middle of winter tended to put us off. But this year we had a family event in Dunedin around the same time, so it seemed like the ideal time to put our virtual toes in icy water and work out how to make our Steampunk costumes warm enough for June in Oamaru. We were lucky with the weather in Oamaru; it was very mild. However, the gusty wind on Saturday created several costume challenges. I gave up on my wig after less than a minute and spent much of the day clutching or chasing my hat — I hadn’t realised how aerodynamic it is. The other Steampunkers in Oamaru were friendly and made us feel welcome. This year’s theme for the festival was ‘mechanical botanical’. There were some inspired costumes depicting this theme in ingenious ways. During the festival there were a range of paid evening events and also free activities, a market and a parade on the Saturday morning. Going to a Steampunk weekend is fun even if you don’t dress up and join in. But dressing up makes it much more fun. You can put together a very basic costume — a hat you’ve bought from a second-hand shop with a pair of steampunk goggles and some dress up clothes. You can then add to this for future events. Going to a Steampunk weekend without a costume is a bit like going to the beach without your togs: You can have fun, but you don’t get to join in the swimming. Steampunk the Thames We are planning to head north in November for this year’s Steampunk the Thames. This is being held from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 November. Steampunk the Thames All Points Camping has arranged to use Thames Sea Scouts as a campsite for the weekend. This site is suitable for all forms of camping. There is grassy space for tents, room for camping vehicles, a toilet, shower and kitchen as well as hall space. However, the camping area is not extensive, so it you want to join us at this event it is important that you RSVP in advance at rsvp: ckw.nz/steampunk-thames-rsvp about the event: ckw.nz/steampunk-thames ◼️ Images ©2024 Margaret Earle Up Up 9 Spring 2024 , p 5

This includes enabling families with young children, disabled people and older people to have positive camping experiences. Many campsites advertise their facilities as ‘accessible’ but from my experience this is often not the reality. Little things, like small steps up to an accessible bathroom, gravel paths or high bench tops can make it impossible for someone who uses a wheelchair or a walking aid to access camp facilities independently (and sometimes even with assistance). Likewise, campgrounds often have hidden challenges for people who have sight or hearing impairments. Many disabilities such as autism are invisible. Making a campsite accessible involves more than installing accessible toilets. Camping has been a huge part of my life Kia ora, I’m Alice. I’m an adult wheelchair user and camping has been a huge part of my life since I was a baby. As I get older the need for accessible campsites is becoming more important so I can carry on camping. Growing up I was very fortunate to have a great family and good friends to help me when access was tricky. We had a running joke in the family that some things are accessible; others are inaccessible and many things are ‘Alice accessible’. This is because I rely (or have relied) heavily on the able-bodied people around me to do things like lift my wheelchair over obstacles or push my chair on difficult surfaces. Much of my camping experience has been at our whanau’s favourite spot — Morison’s Bush in the Wairarapa. I have camped here in tents under large manuka trees on the banks of the Ruamahanga River for the last 30 years. Along with my brother and cousins I played on the grass and riverbank and swam in the river. I am very comfortable camping here as I know what to expect even although there are minimal facilities. We bring our own portapotti and toilet tent. Being able to get out into nature and go places that I would not physically be able to reach on my own is such a joy and privilege. Ninety percent of my childhood memories are from spending time in nature, going on bush walks and camping. Camping and being in nature resets my mental health and I love getting away from the busyness of life and commitments. I am a person who loves being physical as much as I possibly can — wheeling in the bush, swimming in the sea or whatever else I can try. Having accessible facilities and camping areas can only enhance the experiences of nature-loving wheelchair users like me. In recent years my dad has built a removable sleeping platform that fits into the back of my car. Its not a big car but I’m small and the boot door opens sideways. We put a car tent over the back of the car and there is room in here for my wheelchair and portapotti. I now take my own camping vehicle to whanau camps at Morison’s Bush and also have joined in some All Points camps. Accessibility is more than removing physical barriers Disabled people come in all shapes and sizes and have different impairments and requirements. I am small as well as being a wheelchair user so it’s often hard for me to reach the soap or hand dryer in accessible bathrooms. Michelle contacted me to tell me about her accessibility needs. They are quite different from mine. She is autistic and has found that there are definitely some camping facilities that are more or less accessible to her than others. Michelle points out every autistic person is different. She is really sensitive to sensory inputs and can get overwhelmed very easily with people, lights, sounds etc. Like me, Michelle loves camping because it can get her away from busy environments and explore beautiful parts of New Zealand. She told me she loves the peace and stillness of the outdoors, enjoys the fresh air and loves walking and cycling. Michelle enjoys camping in her parents’ small campervan because she struggles with changes and needs to have routine. With the campervan she can have the stress once, as she adjusts from her routine at home to van life. The campervan provides Michelle with a safe place wherever she goes and all her things are with her. She doesn’t have to move from the car to different accommodation, back to the car again, back to the accommodation or to new accommodation and so on. Campgrounds can be quite challenging for Michelle. She usually camps when it’s less busy, avoiding summer and other school holidays. Bathrooms are the hardest part of campground for Michelle. Her family can cook in their van and her travelling companions are the ones who go into the kitchen for drinking water or other things they need. But the bathrooms are unavoidable. With lots of people, hand driers, people talking, fans, harsh lighting and sometimes even music playing she finds using campground bathrooms can be overwhelming and distressing. Accessible bathrooms tend to be a lifesaver for Michelle. Sometimes the lighting is adjustable and there’s generally no background noise from music, hair dryers, hand dryers and voices. Just because someone doesn’t look disabled there can be valid reasons by the need to use accessible facilities and they don’t owe anyone an explanation or information about their disability. Being anxious about camping and facilities Throughout my life I have always felt anxious in the weeks before going away on a camping trip. This is because I don’t know what accessibility challenges I will come across in the new spaces I will be in and what adaptations I will have to make on a daily basis. Once I arrive at a place and have checked out the facilities then my anxiety tends to lessen. Michelle told me that because of an incident in a bathroom during her last camping trip she is really anxious about the bathrooms for her next camping trip. She is also anxious about the facilities when she arrives and she often gets a family member to accompany her to campground bathrooms. Evaluating the accessibility of camping facilities Over the years, I have used a wide variety of campgrounds around both the North and South Island. As a family we developed many workarounds to the challenges of less-than-accessible campground facilities. However, sometimes these were embarrassing for me, such as people coming into the toilet block when I had to leave my wheelchair in the doorway of a toilet cubicle because it wouldn’t fit through the door, so the cubicle door had to stay open. As a result of my 30 years of camping experience I’ve put together this list of nine things that can make a campground less-than-accessible for a wheelchair user. Where there is a lip or step up into facilities like kitchens and toilets. Doors that are too heavy or doorknobs that are too high to reach from a wheelchair. Benches, sinks and surfaces that are too high. Appliances and cooking facilities, like the oven or microwave, that are out of reach. Soap dispensers and hand driers that are installed too high to reach. Doors that pull in towards a wheelchair user are tricky. Steep ramps up into facilities. Facilities that are too far away from the area where people are camping. Spaces inside facilities that are too small or cramped to move around in a wheelchair. But as I have already mentioned, disabled people are not a homogeneous group and have differing needs. Physical access is only a challenge for some of us. It would be great to hear from other disabled people who camp about what they enjoy about camping and their stories of camping. ◊ Images ©2024 Graham Leslie More Rueben, Lynne and Charlie’s camping story Dannevirke campground goes accessible Making a campsite accessible involves more than installing accessible toilets Up Up 10 Summer 2024 , p 24

6 Summer 2023 6 Summer 2023 BUY AUTHOR INDEX AUTHORS Click on image for full view and caption Bivvy Who is advocating for New Zealanders who go camping? Miriam Richardson There are three national groups that speak to government and councils on behalf of New Zealand campers: the All Points Camping Club of NZ, the NZ Motorcaravan Association (NZMCA) , and the Responsible Campers Association. Each of these has a different approach. The All Points Camping Club of NZ The All Points Camping Club supports all forms of camping in New Zealand. Their focus is on New Zealanders getting out and enjoying their country. They support tents, poptops, teardrops, tramping, motorhomes, vans, roof-top tents, car camping: if you can camp in or with it, they support it. They also support Leave no trace and Tiaki: Care for New Zealand : taking care of the environment in which we camp is as important as any vehicle certification. They host family camps, see the Events section for the camps currently on the calendar. Their membership is very much smaller than NZMCA, but it is much broader, as it includes campers other than those with motor caravans. The club is run by volunteers. The All Points Camping Club is associated with NZ Lifestyle Camping Ltd, which has a network of certification officers through the country (see the business section). All Points also participated in the talks with the government while the law was being drafted and continues to work with the government’s agents who are attempting to bring the current inadequate law into force with the new form of self-containment. Many volunteer hours are called for. The Responsible Campers Association The Responsible Campers Association places the onus on the people, not the mode of camping, it is, after all, people who are either responsible or not, regardless of the facilities their vehicle has. They offer education, a test, and a certificate for individuals to prove they understand self-containment. This approach has, sadly, gained little traction with government or councils. The NZ Motorcaravan Association The NZMCA is primarily concerned with the needs of its members. It has strongly advocated for vehicle certification for self-containment, and has a national group of volunteer officers carrying out the certification checks. With over 100,000 members, NZMCA has a big voice with government and councils, it participated as the new laws were considered and participates now as they are being enacted. It continues to support the use of portable toilets and is now changing its own rules to allow members with portable toilets to still use their parks. With a big membership and relatively high annual fees, it is a wealthy club and as well as volunteer board members has a team of people employed who work alongside the board to do this advocacy work. NZMCA members have four advantages not shared by the wider camping public: (1) they mostly have larger vehicles that can accommodate fixed toilets, (2) they are better off, (3) they have a network of parks around the country, and (4) they have enough members to get big discounts at the Department of Conservation campsites. This means NZMCA members are much less restricted if they are barred from using freedom camps. NZMCA does speak on behalf of the wider camping public, but their primary focus is the needs of their members. So, those are the three organisational voices talking with government. There are other camping groups supporting their members to camp; there are others with campsites their members can share. But there are only these three engaging with the government on behalf of New Zealanders who camp.

Make your voice heard with the NZMCA if you are a member. Throw your support behind the All Points Camping Club and get a voice for all campers heard by government. Do both. Talk to your local politicians about the impact of the new laws on your camping experience, and on your enjoyment of our country. The better they understand, the better their decision-making can be. “What do you get when you join the All Points Camping Club?” someone asked this month. They were thinking discounts, campsites, camping events. And yes, the club offers those too. But the biggest thing you get, that you cant get anywhere else, is a voice talking to the government on behalf of all campers. If you want campers’ voices heard, join up. Its priceless. Well, membership has a cost, $35, but it is a very small price for the work these volunteers do on our behalf. Add your support: join up.
