Find sites using the CamperMate app or the Freedom Camping NZ website. Always check current site rules with the relevant local council as conditions change seasonally.

Download the CamperMate app before your trip. It maps freedom camping sites, dump stations, water refill points, and facilities across New Zealand. It works offline too which is essential in remote areas with limited mobile coverage.
