We Tried Sleeping for FREE in New Zealand. Failed 💀

Turns out freedom camping in New Zealand in summer is a lot more difficult than we thought! Free camping fail incoming... | Check out these epic camper vans here → https://hubs.la/Q03Yn_1h0 ⬇ Click MORE for our New Zealand tips and recommendations ⬇ Well, we finally tried freedom camping in Northland... and it did not go to plan. Trying to camp for free in New Zealand is a lot more difficult than we had initially realised, and after a few RV and campervan trips already (Also being from New Zealand!) you'd think we'd know better by now. In this vlog we break down how freedom camping actually works in NZ, the self-containment rules that restrict camping for free, a couple of helpful apps that saved the day haha and what we'd do differently next time. Thanks for being here to watch this Northland road trip! We’ve always said New Zealand is the perfect place to explore in a campervan, so for this third season we’re heading North for a classic Kiwi summer adventure in a Wilderness Motorhome!
