Foxton Beach is a small beachside town very popular with summer holiday-makers during January. The closest petrol station is on SH1 at Foxton. There is a 4-square shop at Foxton Beach but the closest supermarket is in Foxton so shop before you head out to the camp. No other facilities will be available at the camp at present. If flushed toilets are opened this will be an added bonus for you. If hot showers are made available they will be opened for a limited time only each night and provided on a user-pays basis.

I wish to thank the Sport Park committee for their generosity in allowing us to use their grounds. Enjoy your stay. PS. If you arrive and find no room to park here, there is a large asphalted car-park area at the public toilets found down Owen St, in Tikokino township. These toilets don't seem to be have locks so may be open all night.   oldtimer Posted: 31 December 2012, 8:20 AM   Can't you all just leave your snail homes at home and stop clogging up the roads.
