If there is one thing that people do know about New Zealand, and that is its an untouched paradise. So what better way to go and check it out than go camping. You can basically go camping in New Zealand wherever you want. You can go whenever you want too, but it gets pretty cold in the winter. Camping in New Zealand is popular with the locals generally around Christmas time. The weather is good, the kids are off school, the fish are biting, and cold beer tastes better for dad on a hot day. There is so many different areas to pick from as well. Maybe you want to be beside a river where you can drink straight from it. You can pitch your tent under a mountain,on a mountain, on the beach, in a forest looking out your tent at the beach. You can be assured that wherever you pitch your tent nothing there is going to eat you, apart from a few mosquitoes, or sandflies. So you can put your shotgun back in the cabinet.I regrettably never did much camping when I lived in New Zealand. At school we would go camping at least once a year. Normally we would go up to the Coromandel, and spend a few nights in the bush. Cooking over a gas grill, washing dishes with sand in the near-bye creek, and spying on the girls when it’s time to go to bed. Sometimes we would go to the beach as well. You don’t even have to take a tent. There are a lot of campsites where you can rent a cabin for a few nights. Pitching your tent at a campsite around Christmas time is fun too. It’s a great way to meet people, because everybody is on holiday and there just to relax and have fun.Camping in New Zealand is another one of those things that I took for granted when I lived in New Zealand because it is so easy to do, and so easy to get there. It’s not until you leave, and live in a city that you realise how good you once had it. So if you are an outdoors person and are planning on travelling to New Zealand one day, I highly recommend you try camping in New Zealand.
