New Zealand Camping

New Zealand is known for its outdoor scenery and lifestyle. Camping is a popular way to see some of the best sights and sounds of beautiful New Zealand. Pack your backpack, car or van with a tent sleeping bag cooker and other necessities in life then head to the bush.

New Zealand is a camper's paradise; with 30% of NZ being protected the camping options are limitless. The types of beautiful scenery are limited only by how long you have to camp and what you want to see.

The New Zealand government under the department of conservation (DOC) manages these areas. The main parks and forest reserves are listed under Adventure Kiwis guide to National Parks.

Camping with permission from landowners can also be done on some great areas of private land. (Please ensure you have permission)

New Zealand often has many search and rescue missions conducted every year.

If you wish to camp New Zealand take care and follow safety instructions.
