Campsites in West Coast

The West Coast packs wild contrasts into one long ribbon between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea, so campsites here range from windswept beaches and lake edges to bush clearings and old goldfields. Expect quiet domains, river flats and remote spots backed by rainforest. Pack for damp weather and sandflies, and enjoy some of New Zealand's most untamed surroundings.
