South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Christchurch ▷
Chamberlains Ford Recreation Reserve
A free campsite "near" Christchurch (30km).
Noisy. Bad toilets. But grass to park the car without any problem.
-
South Island ▷ Marlborough ▷ Picton / Marlborough Sounds ▷
Collins Memorial Reserve
Simple spot really near to Picton (less than 7 km).
Just 12 areas to park your vehicle. It is noisy because it is near to the road but just for 1 night it is enough.

South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Lake Tekapo ▷
Lake McGregor
We stayed one night.
It was very cold during winter but a very beautiful area in the morning. Be careful it is snowy sometimes.

South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Rangiora ▷
Motunau Beach Camping
Very good spot to sleep one night if you want to stop before or after Christchurch.
The only problem is this is a little bit far away from the main road (14km). But a very quiet place with toilet. Near a river and a small village. Camping is free or you can give a donation
-
South Island ▷ Canterbury ▷ Akaroa ▷
Bruce Terrace
A free campsite in Akaroa itself.
A little bit hard to find in the dark. It is just at the marina when you arrive in town on your right. No toilets.
