Join our next Quirky Campers Meet-up!

Woohoo! Finally we’ve been able to reschedule our next meet-up!

Want to see some cool handcrafted campervans up-close? And talk to their owners to learn about their experience of van building and life on the road? Then join us for our next Quirky Campers Meet-Up… an informal social gathering for owners of self-built campervans!

We have secured exclusive use of Shelly Beach Reserve Campground on the Kaipara Habour, about one hour’s drive north of Auckland.

Here’s the plan…

  • The meet-up runs from about 1pm – 9pm on Saturday 12 February 2022 at the Shelly Beach Reserve Campground (1-3 Shelly Beach Road, Shelly Beach, Helensville, Auckland 0874)
  • You don’t have to stay overnight but for those not camping, the park closes at 8.00pm
  • You don’t need to have a van! Perhaps you’re looking for inspiration and ideas for your future build. But in that scenario perhaps it’s just a day trip!
  • By “meet-up” we mean showing others our vans, sharing our knowledge and experiences, having a bite to eat, a wee drink and a good laugh 🙂
  • IMPORTANT NOTE RE: COVID VACCINATIONS – Updated 15 January 2022: As per Shelly Beach Reserve Campground guidelines, all attendees need to hold a valid vaccine pass.

Camping info

  • We’re going to head up on Friday so why not make a weekend of it and join us the night before too!
  • If camping, you purchase a ticket through us but this is purely to pay for and assist with the organisation of a group booking for camping – and there is no mark-up on the campground prices
  • It’s $10 per person per night (pppn) for an unpowered site or $12 pppn for a powered site… but powered sites are very limited
  • Key things to know about the campground:
    • it’s for campervans only… strictly no tents and there are no other accommodation options
    • it has a requirement for vehicles to be self-contained (although there are toilets and showers open 24/7)
    • it’s pet-friendly (yay!) (NOTE: dogs need to be on-leash)

Further details will follow

  • Once we confirm numbers and specific interests, we’ll organise a loose schedule so we can make the most of the meet-up time
  • The campground owners also run a great little (licensed!) cafe nearby which does takeaways (lovely fish & chips!) so closer to the time, we’ll talk food!
  • Note: Like our previous meet-up, it’ll be pretty laid back affair! In essence we are all simply parking up in the same place at the same time covering our own costs… and acting responsibly!
