A campervan trip around New Zealand is not cheapIt's not only the rental price but on top of that, the insurance, one-way drop off fee, cost of a campsite each night and compared to a rental car, extra fuel costs. From our experience, the dream of a campervan trip around New Zealand often doesn't live up to reality.
Almost all holiday parks around New Zealand provide access to hot showers, flush toilets, laundry facilities, lounge areas and communal kitchens. On average, it will cost you about NZ$35-40 per night (for 2 adults) to park your campervan at a powered holiday park site.
If its your first New Zealand campervan trip 5/6 weeks is perfect to see the main attractions and towns but if we were returning we would plan atleast 2 months in order to enjoy more time in each place rather than a new campsite every night.
Generally speaking though, as long as you don't leave any rubbish or waste behind, you can camp anywhere as long as there aren't any signs indicating otherwise.
The answer is: of course! Campervans are specially equipped to keep you secure and comfortable during your trip around this beautiful country. And if the increasing number of campervan travellers is any indication, sleeping in a campervan is not only safe, it's also one of the best ways to enjoy New Zealand.
It can be hard to not have room to stretch your arms out. Camper vans are usually tight and you won't have much room to cook, change clothes, or use the bathroom, like you would have anywhere else. With less living space than in a motor home or apartment, you sometimes might feel a little tight in a camper van.
