Unlisted pop wanaka
6.–11. jun., New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
Wanaka Pop-Spot Stay 🏕️
We’ve just spent five lovely nights at a quiet little unlisted pop in Wanaka — and we’re so glad we found it! It’s super handy to the New Three Parks shopping area, and there’s a BP with a dump station nearby (though it’s not the best).

Right next to a golf course, with lovely owners and just $10 per van per night. It says a max stay of three nights, but if you ask nicely, they may accommodate longer stays.

Pet-friendly (dogs on leads please, as there are a few stock animals about). We had daily visits from three friendly hens, their sweet dog popped by every evening, and we even spotted a cat lounging in one of the paddocks 🐔🐕🐈

It’s close to the road, but surprisingly quiet. We’ll definitely be back — such a handy spot and a peaceful stay.Les mer

Kidds bush doc camp
1.–6. jun., New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
Kidds Bush DOC Camp
Absolutely stunning spot! Snow on the hills, chilly nights, and beautiful Lake Hāwea right at your doorstep.

We only had neighbours for the first three nights — and even then, there's so much space you won’t trip over anyone.

Not many flat spots, but still plenty of room to park up. Portaloos and non-drinking water on site. The app says no water over winter, but it’s still flowing at the moment.

A few sandflies keen for a feed, so cover up or get the spray ready!
Winter means a bit of a late morning sun, but worth the wait.

Perfect place to unwind and take in the views. 🌄Les mer

Cameron Flat doc camp
23. mai–1. jun., New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Just spent 9 nights at Cameron Flat DOC camp – because when you find a spot with snow on the peaks, a view worth waking up to, and enough space to swing a solar panel, why rush? ❄️⛺️

It got proper chilly at night – even Maggie decided sleeping on our heads was preferable to her usual spot. Nothing says “cosy” like waking up with a paw in your ear. 🐾🛏️

The camp had plenty of room… until sunset, when the sleeper vans and hatchbacks came creeping in like possums at a buffet. 🚐🌒

We had front-row seats to the chopper show – watching helicopters fly gear in and out of the bush for the final touches on the Blue Pools track and bridge repairs. Sadly, at around a 3km return walk, it was too far for Paul at the moment, so we admired the views and enjoyed other people’s photos instead. #VirtualHiking 😂

All in all, a stunning spot – even if our toes haven’t quite thawed out yet.

Lowburn freedom
17.–21. mai, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Lowburn — what a stunning spot to stay!
Right on the edge of Lake Dunstan, with reflections dancing on the water from the trees and surrounding hills. This morning we were treated to low cloud drifting across the lake — absolutely magical.

We’ve had some beautiful weather here again. The freedom camping area is super handy, with toilets available and loads of space for vehicles of all sizes. There are plenty of rubbish bins, too, and they’re emptied early each morning — big thumbs up for that!

Such a peaceful, scenic stop. Highly recommend.
Thanks for watching and following along on our journey!Les mer

Burton creek reserve clyde
15.–18. mai, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Three lovely nights in Clyde, at the Burton Creek Recreation Reserve. Right next to the Clyde Dam. What a beautiful spot. When the river, was flat like a lake, the reflection was amazing. This camp you can stay three nights. There is no rubbish, so it's pack in, pack out. Wireless Nation works great here. Very, very peaceful, even though there is a big blower type thing across the road. Something I guess to do with the dam. Maggie enjoyed the spot also, had a nibble at grass, and went for a lovely walk.Les mer

AlexNdra nzmca park
14.–15. mai, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Alexander NZMCA Park. We spent just one night at this park. Gravel area with an old fridge for sign-in. Badminton across the road. Local ice skating rink where you're able to shower. And there's also toilets there. We didn't use these facilities. We were going to head to Butcher's Gully. As we were told by the custodian, it's a great freedom spot. Unlimited stay. We went for a drive out there with our van. We weren't 100% sure which entrance. So we decided, because the entries were quite rough, to turn around and head back towards Clutha.Les mer

Not the best nzmca park, in the dry ground would be very dusty in the wet muddy. Max of 10 vans at this spot, locals walk through to lake dunston, there dogs all running free, not good in our book.

Devils staircase freedom
7.–8. mai, New Zealand ⋅ 🌬 13 °C
Hoping to stop for a night around Kingston. We checked out the Freedom Spot, but found it was more suitable for smaller vehicles. Us being 8 metres, far too big. So we headed off thinking we will find somewhere along the side of the road, as it was a permitted area for camping. We came across this beautiful spot, small pile of gravel, parked up under the beautiful autumn trees. We were right next to the Devil's Staircase Creek. Beautiful spot. Had a little walk down the ramp to the side of the creek to the Lake Wakatipu. Later on small vans turned up and parked up next to the lake. Peaseful sleep.Les mer

What a great place, water, longdrop and plenty of space to park. We will be back thats for sure. You can stay 28 nights a year. No good for flounder or fishing. But away from the world its so peaseful and relaxing, a great place to unwind, regroup. There is a small sealed area or grass for parking. Wifi and cell both work hereLes mer

Kuri bush side of the road
19. april, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Cruising along looking for a spot to stay, we stumbled across this gem—big enough for us at 14m! Right next to the beach, just how we like it.

Over the weekend we had a few neighbours come and go, along with plenty of dog walkers. We managed to snag the best spot—our own little walkway straight onto the beach, with grassy space for Maggie to lounge around.

Waking up, opening the bedroom blind, and looking straight out to sea… it really doesn’t get much better than that. The weather hasn’t been the greatest, but I reckon this could be a great fishing spot. Lots of kelp and rocks either side of the beach—looks promising!Les mer

Back at Galletys Rd freedom camping for another couple of nights.
Fishing wasn’t any good this time around 😐 oh well!
We did get to catch up with our lovely followers Cynthia & Gary McEntee, who came after seeing our fish haul last weekend. At least they didn’t go home empty handed!
Even managed to pull a little prank on Gary — couldn’t resist!
Noticed the bins are overflowing and haven’t been emptied by council, so I’ll be letting them know.Les mer

Old seadown school POP
1.–4. apr., New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
We’ve just spent six lovely nights at the NZMCA POP in Seadown, at the old Seadown School. Even though we parked along the roadside, it was absolutely fine. There’s a water hookup available, and gray water can be emptied under the trees.

The old schoolhouse has been transformed into the owners’ home, and the property is beautifully maintained. There’s a large, flat grass area for parking, plus handy facilities including a toilet, shower ($2), and a washing machine ($4) and dryer under the water tower near the owners' home. The lawns and gardens are well cared for, making for a peaceful stay.

This can be a busy spot, but there’s no need to book ahead—just turn up and pop a donation in the box near the entry. Best of all, it’s only an 8-minute drive to Temuka or 10 minutes to Timaru’s Pak’nSave for supplies.

A great stop if you're passing through!Les mer

Galletlys rd freedom
29.–31. mar., New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Back at Galletlys Rd for the fourth time—this spot never gets old! 🌊🎣 Beach walks, fishing, and pure relaxation—just what the doctor ordered. If you're coming here, don’t even think about driving on the beach with a 2WD… as someone unfortunately found out tonight! 🚗⚠️

There are rubbish bins on-site, and you must be fully self-contained. Trains pass by at night near the main road, but they’ve never bothered us.

Maggie is loving the little patch of grass here, though after her recent dog attack, she’s staying extra cautious. 🐾💜

**"A perfect spot for those who love fishing! Paul caught two delicious elephant fish and a gurnard—yum! We spent four lovely nights here, with neighbors for only two of them.

As you arrive, you can choose a sheltered grassy spot to the left or continue on to park in the open on the stones. You can stay for up to two weeks, and there’s a long drop toilet—just no basin to wash your hands.Les mer

Great Spot by the River – NZMCA Park

We stayed at the NZMCA park, just down the dusty road, and it was a nice place to stop! If you’re after some shade, the big trees near the road are perfect. There’s water available next to the sign-in shed, along with a rubbish bin.

We’ve also left another model in the shed for others to enjoy!

Heads up: The park gets busy on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, with lots of dogs around. Unfortunately, this is where our Maggie was attacked by a dog that broke free. Luckily, she’s okay, but something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with pets.Les mer

Who would have thought this Amazing place existed in New Zealand. World War 2 coastal defense Battery was so accessible to those that wished to view It. Sitting on a 120 m cliff its lovely. Campsite is run by doc ,plenty of large spaces to park up, flush toilets , and tap water also on sites that advise to boil.
Wonderful walking tracks if you're into that or biking. Stunning views back towards christchurch. We were lucky enough to get to see a cruise ship coming out of the Lyttlelton Harbor. Tenting is allowed on-site, Dogs on lead's also allowed. Spark and Wireless Nation both work well here.Les mer
