Hi, Will be hiring a camper van for 6 days in the South Island, I know its not for long but wanted to know what routes and places to see I could fit in during these 6 days? Some websites just tell you about coach trips and and tours but obviously I already have a set of wheels, just need to know where to go and how long it will take Any help will be much appreciated guys!

Hi, I've only been researching my trip for a week and come across this site. Seems to have everything I need. I'm pretty much have the same sort of question as Stretch . I have 10 days out of a busy schedule. I figure the south Island is the best. I have also decided on a camper van - simply because it's cheeper. But I've got to find out where you can park and what about taking showers going for a pee etc. So any help on special stops - good bars, food etc, as well as help with the route would help. There must be that expert out there!!

Hi Macca, there are a number of free places where you can park up, but they don't have any showers or toilets and with tourism increasing every year the amount of "no camping/parking for the night" signs are also increasing. I plan on getting a page up listing the ones I know about, but I have alot on my plate at the momment. There are payed DoC run campsides scattered through out the country, have a look at http://www.doc.govt.nz/templates/summary.aspx?id=38354 other than that you will need to stay at privately owned camping grounds.
