The best caravan parks in New Zealand

·

You’ll find over 70 spots for caravans across New Zealand, many with water and electricity hook-ups, plus the option for a campfire at night. Expect average prices around $25 per night, though you can nab a patch from as little as $12. If you want to swim, hike, or fish, you’re sorted—sites often back onto rivers, forest, or farmland. Top picks from campers include Brackenthwaite (43 reviews), a reliable stop with room to spread out; Blue Spur Farmstay Hokitika (8 reviews), tucked near rugged West Coast bush; and Sommerfeldt Farm (5 reviews), where you can wake to birdsong and head straight out for a walk. New Zealand’s caravan camping pulls you into the landscape—no fuss, just practical facilities and the freedom to roam.

Creatives at heart, Debbie and Frits both love the arts. They love listening to music, collecting vintage pieces (both clothing and artefacts that you can view in their museum!) & hosting dinner parties and events. Their idea for opening Terako Downs was born from their love of sharing. Coming out of owning a business in Dunedin, they felt it a shame not to share their artefacts and the beauty of the property. And they also wanted to be able to pay for the lawn mowing guy.

Wake up to the sound of the waves, step straight onto the sand, and soak in uninterrupted views of Whale Island right in front of the park, with White Island visible in the distance. With the ocean on one side and the Rangitāiki River just metres away, you’re surrounded by nature at its very best. Thornton Beach is famous for its incredible fishing. Cast off from the shore and try your luck surfcasting towards Whale Island, or launch your boat from the boat ramp just 200m from the park and head out to deeper waters. This is one of the Bay of Plenty’s top spots to drop a line. Thornton Beach may be quiet and tranquil, but there’s no shortage of adventure. If you’re keen to get out on the water, SUP boards and kayaks are available for hire.

Creatives at heart, Debbie and Frits both love the arts. They love listening to music, collecting vintage pieces (both clothing and artefacts that you can view in their museum!) & hosting dinner parties and events. Their idea for opening Terako Downs was born from their love of sharing. Coming out of owning a business in Dunedin, they felt it a shame not to share their artefacts and the beauty of the property. And they also wanted to be able to pay for the lawn mowing guy.

**Please note that our office is closed on Christmas Day (25 December), and we do not accept arrivals or departures on this date. Any bookings made with a check-in or check-out on 25 December will be cancelled. Thank you for your understanding.** Nestled between Whakatāne and Matatā in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, Thornton Beach is closer than Ōhope for many visitors and offers the quintessential New Zealand beach holiday: sun, surf, space to unwind, and plenty of fun for the whole family. Wake up to the sound of the waves, step straight onto the sand, and soak in uninterrupted views of Whale Island right in front of the park, with White Island visible in the distance. With the ocean on one side and the Rangitāiki River just metres away, you’re surrounded by nature at its very best. Thornton Beach is famous for its incredible fishing. Cast off from the shore and try your luck surfcasting towards Whale Island, or launch your boat from the boat ramp just 200m from the park and head out to deeper waters. This is one of the Bay of Plenty’s top spots to drop a line. Thornton Beach may be quiet and tranquil, but there’s no shortage of adventure. If you’re keen to get out on the water, SUP boards and kayaks are available for hire.

Our second visit here and we love it - Tim has only improved the offering since last time. Now, there is a pair of amazing shiny toilets in the upper camp and through a gate, bridge & steps down to the river gorge, where you can see glowworms at night, or take a swim/dip in the day. Such an amazing camp, probably the best one ever for us. Thanks Tim!

We had a great camping stay at Lekker Stay, thanks Magda! The site is well located ons the intersection of two main roads within Whangarei Heads, close to the shops. The site had all the amenities we needed for camping comfortably. The hosts and their two dogs were very friendly! Recommend Magda’s place to anyone else and will be staying there again in the future.

Absolutely phenomenal spot. Blown away, the listing photos don't do this slice of magic justice. Explored a little of the surroundings, the water - crystal clear and just stunning. The rock faces and limestone walls that create coves. Absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommended for a little getaway. Facilities 10/10 Thankyou for sharing this little slice of yours with us.

I love that it was in a very secluded area with limestone Bluffs and a river flow through property. It was very tranquil. There was no one else around. I had very nice restroom facilities and also had freshwater on the property . If you want to relax, this is a place to go, plus it was absolutely beautiful.

An incredible place to stop over. It was lucky for us that the space was available but that we had also found this treasure at the end of our trip because if it was at the beginning we may not have left. The drive in appears steep but with a slow approach we easily got our 6berth motorhome down to the site which was beautifully laid out

Stayed at the terraces for one night. This is one of the most scenic campsites that I've been to in my two weeks in New Zealand with the limestone cliffs and ajacent forest and stream. Tim and his dad are kind enough to bring us around for a walk through the enchanting forest. Gravel roads and compost toilets seems to have been newly added. Previous comments seems to have mentioned that the road may be too steep for larger vehicles. But for my visit, the new gravel tracks worked fine for my 7.4m campervan, so no worries on that. Do camp here if u are in Waitomo!
