Holiday parks
Holiday parks or camp grounds are plentiful in New Zealand and are great places to stay. Holiday parks combine camping with comfort, allowing you to cook feasts, iron clothes and shower under hot water. Sleeping options range from basic bunk-lined cabins to tourist units with lounges, double bedrooms and en suites.
Urban holiday parks are also available as an economical and reliable option for families visiting big cities. They may or may not be near a beach, but they will certainly be handy to motorways. The Qualmark rating system includes coverage of holiday parks, so if security and cleanliness are on your list of essentials, you can rest assured.
