Responsible Camping in New Zealand

Where can I camp? Assume nothing – always ask a local.

Freedom camping in the wrong places and/or without appropriate management is having a negative environmental, social and economic impact on New Zealand. Help us minimize the negative impacts for local communities and New Zealand.

There are many places around New Zealand where you can camp. The best place to find information about where you can camp and what procedures to follow is from those who know the area.

Ask the locals for information. Call in to one of these places, they have all the information you need:

• i-SITEs
• Holiday Parks
• Department of Conservation Visitor Centres
