West Coast Road Trip Guide — Wild Beaches, Glaciers and the Edge of the World

New Zealand offers some of the best freedom camping in the world — but the best spots aren’t always found beside a holiday park.
Built on a capable 4WD Ford Ranger, the Kohi Camper gives you the freedom to venture beyond the main tourist routes and explore the New Zealand most visitors never see. From remote lakefront camps to hidden coastal locations and scenic backcountry roads, you’ll have the confidence to travel further and stay closer to the places you came to experience.
Unlike large motorhomes, the Kohi Camper remains compact, easy to drive and simple to park, while still providing all the comforts of a fully self-contained camper. When the sealed road ends and the gravel begins, simply engage 4WD and continue the adventure.
Certified to NZS 5465 standards, every Kohi Camper is approved for freedom camping, giving you access to hundreds of designated camping locations throughout New Zealand.
No rushing to make campground check-in times. No relying on powered sites. Just the freedom to travel at your own pace and wake up somewhere extraordinary.
