One of the best things about travelling around New Zealand in a sleepervan is the freedom that comes from stopping when you want, where you want and for as long as you want.

Many travellers enjoy the opportunity to 'park up' beside a beautiful lake, or nestled beside a tranquil native forest setting.

Freedom camping is permitted in some areas throughout New Zealand but it is important to note that freedom camping is prohibited or strictly regulated in other areas.

Local government agencies are responsible for the regulation and enforcing of camping restrictions for their area, therefore
visitors to each area are encouraged to check with the nearest visitor information centre before freedom camping.

Backpacker Sleepervans are happy to assist their customers with maps, guides and information regarding freedom camping around New Zealand.
