For someone that doesn’t want to spend all your money on expensive accommodation, then a camping trip might just be the right alternative. As a country that offers such diverse and intense nature, New Zealand comes along with many camping possibilities.
After tourism started flourishing the government put a lot of money in its own Department of Conservation (DOC). Primarily, its goal is to conserve the natural beauty of the country but also to make it safely and sustainably accessible for everyone. Therefore, you will find many simple DOC campsites but also privately owned campsites (holiday parks) spread over both islands.
For the minimalist between us we hire camping equipment to give you an opportunity to dive into New Zealand’s dramatic landscape.
