About the campsite:

The camping area is open and informal, allowing campervans to park near the river mouth with sweeping views of the Tasman Sea. Facilities are minimal, so travellers should arrive fully self contained and prepared for coastal conditions. One of the unique features of this site is the regular presence of a mobile coffee cart in the mornings, adding a social and memorable element to the stay. The nearby Ballroom Overhang walk offers a short but rewarding hike to a large rock shelter, making this a popular activity for visitors. 

Exploring the surrounding area

Fox River works well as an overnight stop or scenic pause along coastal routes. Arriving during daylight hours allows travellers to choose sheltered positions and enjoy sunset views. Fox River delivers a raw and visually striking camping experience that stands out along South Island coastal travel routes.
