Embrace the great outdoors by staying in a holiday park or camping ground in Canterbury.
Holiday parks in Canterbury, (also referred to as campsites and camping grounds), tend to offer the traveller a bit of everything including tent sites (powered or unpowered), powered sites for caravans, motorhomes and RVs, basic cabins, cabins with ensuite and/or kitchenettes and self-catering apartments.
Campsites and camping grounds in Canterbury usually offer both powered and unpowered pitches for tent users, and will cater for motorhomes and campervans too. Campsites and camping grounds can vary enormously both in location and facilities. Some may be very remote and quite challenging to get to, some may be located close to major centres and cities.
Some campsites in New Zealand offer very basic facilities, whilst others may be at the other extreme offering campers TV rooms, laundrettes, kitchens, playgrounds, petting farms and so on.
Before you choose your preferred campsite or holiday park in Canterbury, it is definitely worth considering what facilities you need and what would make you and your group comfortable. Families with young children often prefer holiday parks, as they often offer 'child-friendly' facilities such as playgrounds and fenced-off grounds.
Whichever holiday park or campsite you choose, you will have a great opportunity to stay in one of the country's many beauty spots at a highly affordable price.
Remember, in peak holiday seasons (especially during school holidays), space will book out quickly at campsites and holiday parks, so early booking is advised.
You can find and book holiday parks and campsites in Canterbury online...(search holiday parks and campsites directory)
