Camping tours in New Zealand

Stay In Stunning Locations - Camping and Cabin Options

NZ is all about the great outdoors and the best way to experience this is by staying next to beautiful oceans and lakes in a tent!

There are shared and single tent options + the chance to upgrade to cabins for those who fancy a taste of rural luxury. 

We camp at carefully chosen locations to immerse you in some of New Zealand’s best places with a huge variety of experiences and activities on your doorstep (...well tent-step).

Accommodation is usually beside beaches, lakes, mountains and forests, You will wake up to spectacular views, dine by the water's edge and escape the tourist crowds. For those who enjoy hiking and cycling it also provides easy access to heaps of excellent trails for walks and rides everyday.

How Does it Work?

A spacious, shared tent is included in the price (sharing with one other person of a similar age/same gender). For those travelling together you will get your own private tent. The tents are actually designed for 3 people so there's plenty of room to stretch out.

• You can upgrade to have the tent to yourself for a small fee 
• You can upgrade to cabins most nights for a small fee. You will be able to decide on the day (subject to availability) and it's a great option if you fancy treating yourself for a few extra $s. It also ensures that you don't need to worry about unpredictable weather.  If you would like to book any upgrades prior to the trip then no problem - just let our office know and they can sort this for you for a small 10% service fee of the total upgrade cost.
• Tents are easy to put up (even for those who haven't camped before) and our friendly guides are always there to give you a helping hand
• Self-inflating camping pads are provided to sleep on
• At the best locations we spend 2 nights giving you more time to explore 
• Our custom built vehicles come with built in bike storage, commercial kitchens and carry everything we need including sports gear, tents and much more so we are self sufficient as we explore the best parts of New Zealand

Where do we Camp?

In some of the most stunning areas of New Zealand. The big advantage of choosing tents and cabins over hostels (apart from busy dorms and crowded kitchens) is easy access to amazing landscapes.

We use a carefully chosen combination of well managed campsites usually run by local kiwi families. Camping grounds are ideal for those looking to get “beyond the tourist trail”, often located in stunning spots near lakes, mountains and coasts. Commercial camping grounds offer facilities of a high standard with communal kitchens, dining areas and many with games and TV rooms. What makes campsites in New Zealand so appealing is the excellent locations and immerse yourself in kiwi culture

How do I Upgrade?

If the weather isn't great or you fancy a break from the tent, upgrades to cabin or dorm type options are available most nights (see your trip itinerary for full details).  Upgrades can be booked on tour (subject to availability) by requesting with your guide on the day. In some of our more remote and most stunning campsites upgrades aren't always available. However, don't worry  - if the weather isn't great we will generally find alternatives to these sites.

* Upgrades are subject to availability and around the busier months of December to March it is worth giving prior notice if you are interested in upgrades. 

 * Please note that with dorm upgrade options as we can't share the cost with other passengers its not possible to pre-book and these can only be booked during your tour

Hostels & Hotels

We also use hostels on our trip for accommodation in Queenstown. These hostels are carefully chosen to give you great access to all the city highlights in a great value, fun environment.
