Attractions to see in Thames with a campervan
- Take a guided tour through the Thames Goldmine Experience, to see an operational 19 th century stamper battery in one of the richest goldmines of the period. Part of the tour is underground, so wear sturdy shoes and bring your torch.
- Walk in the Kauaeranga Valley. This scenic valley has access paths formed by kauri logging, and is now overseen by the Department of Conservation. The most famous trail is the Pinnacles walk, which is an 8 hour round-trip. It can be done in a day, but is much better as an overnight, sleeping in the 80-bed hut, for a real adventure. There are several campgrounds in the Kauaeranga Valley accessible by campervan. Facilities are more basic than commercial campgrounds, but they offer great value and will put you right in the heart of New Zealand's natural beauty.
- Visit the Rapaura Watergardens, a garden of regional significance, spread over 64 acres of private estate.
- Ride the Hauraki Rail Trail, a cycleway linking the towns of Thames, Paeroa and Waihi.
- Take the scenic coast road to beaches such as Whangapoua and Matarangi. Make sure you stop at the Waiomu Bay playground and reserve, and get an ice cream or coffee from the store there. The Thames Coast road is narrow and windy; make sure you pull over when possible to let the traffic build-up pass you.
