New Zealand
When it comes to places to sleep, there are plenty of public campsites with great amenities, but in peak season (December to February), we recommend booking ahead to guarantee a spot. New Zealand's Department of Conservation (DoC) offers some campsites (some paid, some free) with varying facilities and these are set in great locations and well-maintained, but tend to be more basic.

Don’t worry if you have no idea about what gadgets each van is fitted with and where you can and can’t ‘free camp’ in New Zealand – that’s where we have experience. Our consultants have travelled all over New Zealand so they’ll help you plan the perfect route and suggest places to stay along the way.
We work with all the leading campervan hire companies in New Zealand, which means we can offer some of the best vehicles and rental rates, which we will check across the board before you book. Booking in advance protects your money, guarantees your chosen vehicle will be available and gives you a consultant who can deal with any questions or concerns.
