Camping is very popular and the country as a whole is very well equipped to cater for campervans. There are many sites, called 'Holiday Parks' through out the country and it is recommend that that you pre-book well in advance as they are bound to fill up fast.
Further information on the parks can be found at www.holidayparks.co.nz and www.top10.nz. Look out for holiday parks that market themselves with a Qualmark Rating, anything between a 4 or 5 star should be a good standard.
