Read the Spring issue of Camping the Kiwi Way
The Spring 2024 issue of our magazine Camping the Kiwi Way is now out. It’s full of great information and ideas for all those who camp.
If you have a camping vehicle (or are looking to buy one) there is plenty of helpful advice. Find out more about the new cassette toilet for small spaces, get tips and tricks for towing a caravan and read about buying used caravans. And there are plenty of other articles you’ll find helpful too.
There are also updates on the changes to freedom camping and self-containment. This includes an explainer on which self-containment warrant cards are valid.
Read about a great variety of camping adventures – a night in an arboretum, a winter day on Farewell Spit and a North Island hot pool safari.
And there’s lots of other great articles to read.
You can access the Spring issue on the Camping the Kiwi Way website. You can also buy or subscribe to printed copies of the magazine.

In the South Island, weekend camps are held each month in the Canterbury region. The November camp is at Castle Claremont and a camp beside the Selwyn River in Christchurch is planned for mid-December. Check out our events page to find out what camps are planned in Canterbury in 2025.
Our next North Island camps are at Ashhurst in the Manawatu and at Battle Hill in Wellington.
In early December a camp is being held at Kai Iwi Beach, near Whanganui. Over the New Year break we be camping at Paraparaumu Beach on the Kapiti Coast.
Details of further camps are being posted on our events page as these are finalised.
Everyone is welcome to join us at these events. Please RSVP in advance on the relevant web page so we know how many will be there.
Our camps are a great opportunity to stay at new camping locations and to meet others with a passion for camping. If you haven’t had much experience with camping, they are also a supportive way to learn among friends.
