​New Zealand is probably the best country in the world for a scenic road trip. As there are so many awesome places for camping in New Zealand, it is a traveller's paradise. It's safe; there are excellent facilities at the campgrounds and NZ holiday parks, no nasty animals to be wary of and of course, you're surrounded by incredible scenery.

You'll need to camp at a designated campsite with your Spaceship. You can't just park & sleep anywhere. There are rules and regulations to (freedom) camping. We recommend staying at campsites with appropriate facilities. There is a range of free or budget campsites in NZ, ranging between $0 and $18 per night. Our free smartphone app shows you all the information and how to get to these campsites.

Campings are different from what you might expect in your own country. For example, what people in Europe call campings (grassy, square areas with heaps of facilities) is what we call holiday parks.

Campsites and campgrounds in New Zealand are run by organisations like the Department of Conservation (DOC) or Regional Councils. These have minimal or basic facilities and are located in beautiful and often "remote" locations. Prices range from $0 to $18 per night. At DoC sites, you can pay as you go via an honesty box system or book online (only a select number of DOC sites can be booked online).
