Camping & Accommodation

motorcycle camping in new zealand

There are plenty of campsites in New Zealand, although many get cramped in the busy months. Our favorite ones were the DOC campsites. They are more basic, but cheap and in beautiful wild places.

When we needed a solid roof over our heads we chose small cabins in holiday parks or hostels.

Budget

New Zealand is more expensive than other popular motorcycle travel destinations. However, it is not out of reach, if you’re willing to camp and avoid eating out.

Logistics

Shipping your bike to New Zealand is quite expensive and involves a lot of paperwork. We found that buying a bike locally is a better option for us, and it’s also quite easy.
