Find private places to camp your van, motorhome, or car across NZ.
Campyavan is a homegrown Kiwi solution that helps travelers find secure, affordable places to stay—and hosts earn easy income from spare land.
Hosts can list their space for free in minutes. Travelers can search for and book private, unique sites along their route.
Hosts can review and approve bookings, set their own price, rules, and more. Offer amenities or self-contained stays only, set your check-in times and quiet hours – it's your call. It's easy to block out dates and build your ideal schedule.
All hosts and travelers are verified for safety. Addresses are only shown after travelers have booked and paid.
We partner with Stripe to process all payments securely. Hosts get paid quickly after each stay.
Designed for New Zealand's new freedom camping rules by a husband-and-wife duo from Christchurch. You'll get support from real Kiwis who love camping, not bots.
Anyone with safe, off-street space. If you have a farm in Geraldine, a driveway in Queenstown, or a lawn in Wānaka, you can host travelers and earn.
No. You can choose to host self-contained vehicles only (with their own toilet and plumbing) or offer amenities (like a toilet and shower) to earn more. If you host self-contained vehicles only, please mention in your listing where the nearest dump station is.
We partner with Stripe, a leading payment provider. You will be paid securely and quickly after each booking.
Listing your property is completely free and we only charge a small commission on bookings to help keep the lights on. Selected founding hosts enjoy free fees during our summer launch!
Each traveler agrees to our Terms and Conditions as well as your rules – this includes our Leave No Trace principle. If a traveler behaves poorly, we will investigate the issue and ban them from the platform if necessary. We will be rolling out host insurance soon.
You can host one party or family without registering as a campground with your local council. Hosting multiple parties may require registration. Your local council can advise you on specific details for your region.
