South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Methven ▷
Rakaia Gorge Camping Ground
One of the best camping we stayed.
Very high value for money, nice facilities (hot shower!), nice walk nearby and close to Christchurch
-
North Island ▷ Auckland Region ▷ Auckland ▷
Ambury Park Camping Ground
The registration is really inconvenient (phone the council, fill in the details, get the gate number, etc.) but the campground is one of the best we stayed on.
We spend our last night here, beautiful sunset, good facilities and well maintained
-
South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Te Anau ▷
Mavora Lakes Campsite
Very remote but beautiful place.
Quite a drive, so only worth of it if you stay for a few days and you want to explore the area
-
South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Lake Tekapo ▷
Lake Alexandrina
The campsite would be wonderful if not for the atmosphere of desolated caravans and dirty facilities.
I would love to pay a bit more if the facilities and the spots would be upgraded since the location is stunning and there are not many alternatives around Lake Tekapo
-
South Island ▷ Wanaka Region ▷ Wanaka Township ▷
Lake Outlet Holiday Park
Great camping spot, we stayed the nights before on Albert Town campground and came here for the showers, which are coin operated nonetheless the typical holiday park price.
Wished we stayed more nights since it is closer to Wanaka than Albert Town and it is worth the higher price. Sites are quite sheltered in trees and birds are ready to pick your food which is cool
-
North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Waipu ▷
Waipu Cove Cottages
Quite costly, and had to pay for showers as well.
Location is very nice
-
North Island ▷ Taranaki ▷ Stratford ▷
Stratford Kiwi Motels and Holiday Park
Very good campsite and a nice price.
Close to Mount Taranaki region.
-
North Island ▷ Northland ▷ Waipu ▷
Camp Waipu Cove
Quite costly, but very well maintained and clean campsite.
Very nice location at the beach
-
North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Taumarunui ▷
Taumarunui Holiday Park
Very well maintained and nice campground.
We only stopped here for the night. Kitchen and facilities relatively small.
-
South Island ▷ Wanaka Region ▷ Wanaka Township ▷
Albert Town Camping Ground
Not that close to Wanaka (10 min drive to center) and quite exposed to wind.
Nevertheless fine basic campground
-
South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Glenorchy ▷
Kinloch Campsite
The sites could be better maintained, quite muddy in the rain and quite some inclination.
Lake Sylvan campground would be the better option in the area
-
South Island ▷ Marlborough ▷ Picton / Marlborough Sounds ▷
Aussie Bay Campsite
Small, but very nice spot!
If you arrived in Picton and want to explore the Marlborough Sounds this would definitely be a good first stop. Do not expect too much of the toilet though...
-
South Island ▷ Kaikoura Region ▷ Kaikoura ▷
Paia Point Campground
Nice place but quite costly if you don't want to use the camping facilities.
You can not self register so you need to drive to the Goose Bay Camp
-
South Island ▷ Fiordland ▷ Manapouri ▷
Possum Lodge Motel and Holiday Park
This is how a campsite should be.
Not too large, very lovely facilities, good atmosphere, nice plants and above all...a good working Wi-Fi connection to keep your friends and family updated. If you are planning to stay in Te Anau, just take the drive to this campsite and have a nicer time
-
South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Glenorchy ▷
Sylvan Campsite
Beautiful spot, when we were there, there were no envelopes.
The location stars as Isengard in Lord Of The Rings
-
South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Twizel ▷
Twizel Holiday Park
Of all the holiday parks we stayed on this one was the closest to town center.
Very clean and good facilities. Price was average for this type of campsites. Very nice walks in the area and close to the Mount Cook region. Free wi-fi at the coffee bar in town center
-
North Island ▷ Rotorua Region ▷ Rotorua ▷
Rotorua Thermal Holiday Park
The pools were not working when we were there but for the rest it was quite a nice place.
Bus to Rotorua center stops nearby and it was nice that there was a small restaurant as well
-
North Island ▷ Tairāwhiti Gisborne ▷ Lake Waikaremoana ▷
Waikaremoana Holiday Park
Just a stunning location.
Campsite is quite large and has very good facilities. When we were there it was quite cold and drizzling, some sheltered sites for small vans and sheltered walkways would be a good investment.
-
South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Omarama ▷
Lake Middleton Campsite
Quite pricy when compared to the DOC sites.
When we were there in November 2014 we were the only ones and could not find the toilets at first (it was quite hidden in the trees). Scenery is beautiful. Campsite itself could be better maintained, it was quite muddy and there is quite some inclination on the terrain
-
North Island ▷ Wairarapa ▷ Ngawi ▷
Putangirua Pinnacles Campsite
Quite surprised it was not better mentioned in all travel guides, since this place was just stunning!
Not only a movie set, but pretty intimidating landscape (Putangirua Pinnacles). Nice sunset as well, and also take the drive to Cape Palliser if you are here, it is totally worth it
-
North Island ▷ Ruapehu ▷ Tongariro / National Park Village ▷
Mangahuia Campsite
Very nice place, quite sheltered but still the feeling of a campsite.
Even in October it was quite crowdy so I would wonder if you would be able to find a spot in summer. One of the best DOC sites we stayed
-
North Island ▷ Auckland Region ▷ Auckland ▷
Sleepavanz
Sleepavanz has brought a very nice and well serviced budget camper.
Although the car was quite old and had some miles on the clock, it drove very well and had a very good experience in it. Especially the non-sleep interior set-up (in which have a L-shaped couch) proved very convenient. I would definitely recommend this company, for the price and service I think it is the best budget solution. On the way we got a lot of compliments of Kiwi's on having such a nice van, as compared to some of the others. We changed linnen on the way and were provided with new tires as well to complete our in total 7500 km journey!
-
North Island ▷ Manawatu - Wanganui ▷ Whanganui River ▷
Whanganui River TOP 10 Holiday Park
If you are only planning to stop for the night and have no kids I would skip this campsite since it is quite costly and crowded with playing childeren.
Quite far from town center.
-
North Island ▷ Wellington Region ▷ Hutt Valley ▷
Kaitoke Regional Park Camping Ground
Huge camping area, but very good facilities and nice scenery nearby.
Close to Wellington. Ranger picks up the cash and your rubbish!
-
South Island ▷ Nelson Region ▷ Mapua ▷
McKee Memorial Reserve Camping Ground
Can be quite crowded, especially with kids, but very nice campground.
Facilities were working but quite old. Caretaker collects your cash and rubbish bins are provided. Good stop if you want to explore Abel Tasman National Park next day
-
South Island ▷ West Coast ▷ Greymouth ▷
Jacksons Retreat Campervan Holiday Park
One of the best campings we stayed, we spend two days in the rain here but that did not wash away our spirits!
Especially the shelters for the campers were very convenient, and the facilities were top-notch.
-
North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Napier ▷
Hawkes Bay Holiday Park
Very well maintained and very clean.
Close enough to Napier and to the main roads. Would definitely stay here again
-
North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Thames ▷
Kauaeranga Valley Camping Grounds
Our first experience with DOC sites, which proved to be very convenient and well maintained.
We stayed on the farthest campsite, to the start of the daywalk to the Pinnacles. Very nice experience!
-
North Island ▷ Hawkes Bay ▷ Tutira ▷
Lake Tutira Campsite
Fees are on donation, and what a fantastic place this was!
Birds and sheep keep you company. We got a beautiful morning with mirror reflection of the landscape in the lake, just stunning...
