Self drive tour of New Zealand
Posted on Aug 19, 2008 under Tips & Advice |There is no better way to experience the beautiful unspoilt landscapes of New Zealand than in a campervan or motorhome. Doing a self drive tour of New Zealand will enable you to experience and travel around New Zealand at your own pace, and enjoy the diverse environment that New Zealand has to offer. There are so many places whereby you can stop off and visit which you can do leisurely on your own without the inconvenience of sticking to a schedule.
New Zealand has a large number of camping grounds and holiday parks across the country. You can basically park or campervan or motorhome anywhere as long as it’s not private property. Most New Zealand holiday parks offer kitchen facilities, BBQ areas, TV lounges, showers, toilets and washing machines. You have the option of seeing New Zealand in your campervan with the added benefits of these camping grounds or to get away from it all and travel into the tranquil and remote areas of New Zealand. Department of Conservation (DOC) camps can be found throughout New Zealand and provide beautiful camp settings although they offer no facilities like showers, toilets or cooking areas.
