There isn't a more iconic experience in New Zealand than exploring the South
Island by campervan.
With a home on wheels, and spectacular scenery guaranteed, the best
months to visit are February to May, and September to November, when the
weather is warm and the island less busy.
Queenstown is the epicentre for campervan hire, where most begin and end their journeys, and it's wise to spend a few days here
to shrug off jetlag before embarking on your journey.
With hundreds of campsites to choose from, planning
a route can prove a little daunting, so here is my selection of tried and tested favourites,
within an easy drive of one another.
Lake Wanaka - Glendhu Bay Holiday Park
Situated a fifteen-minute drive from the small,
laid-back town of Wanaka (with a great choice of restaurants, cafes, and adventure activities), this large campsite sprawls along the banks of picturesque Glendhu Bay.
You're not booking in for fancy toilet blocks & showers (they are basic) but for the beautiful
location and its north facing, sunny aspect.
Book ahead to nab a prime spot bordering the lake, then while away hours
swimming, barbecuing, and stargazing.

The Glendhu Bay Holiday Park sits on the banks of
Lake Wanaka, and 15-minutes from the town where there are ample bars and restaurants?
Mount Aspiring National Park, which served as the Misty Mountains in the
Hobbit films, is on your doorstep, and nearby hiking trails include the popular five-hour walk to Roys Peak.
A day trip by boat to the island of Mou Waho is another good option.
Book it: From ?3 per night for lakeside powered site website
Lake Tekapo - Lakes Edge Holiday Park
Framed by snow-capped mountains, this site is on a bluff
above Lake Tekapo, known for its crystal-clear turquoise water.
It has nice communal facilities, including a kitchen and
barbecue area, with lake-view picnic benches for al fresco dining.
To get out on the water, rent paddleboards or kayaks (?5 for
one hour) at the sandy beach just below the camp
One of the best places in the world for star gazing, visit the state-of-the-art
Dark Sky Project to learn more on how Māori people once used the stars to
navigate and hunt, and, on a clear night, book a star-gazing tour at the Mt John Observatory.

for star gazing, and you can also rent paddleboards and kayaks to get out
on the water, says Kate

Mount Cook - White Horse Camping Ground
Camp beneath magnificent alpine scenery at this Department of Conservation site.
A pitch here can't be prebooked, so arrive by lunchtime to nab a good spot, with those at
the rear giving uninterrupted views of Mt Sefton.
You'll find toilet blocks, and fresh running water,
but no showers or power to connect to.
The most popular hike is along the Hooker Valley Track to the
glacial Hooker Lake (take swimming kit with you for a bracing dip), and it's best to set off by
8am before the day trippers arrive.
Other well-marked trails leave from the campsite and range from gentle to arduous.

Oamaru - Oamaru Harbour Holiday Park
This small campsite is the only one on Oamaru's seafront
and has good but few facilities (you may need to wait your turn for a shower).
Although a road runs between the site and the sea, there's
such little traffic that it's still worth pre-booking a
front row spot.
It is ideally situated for visiting the town's famous Little Blue Penguin colony, which return to shore like clockwork at dusk.
Also, look out also for fur seals basking on the harbour wall.
Book it: From ?7 for an ocean view powered site(oamaruharbour.co.nz)
Oamaru is known as the Steampunk capital of the world. Here,
you can visit the Steampunk HQ museum and the
Victorian precinct
