What is Freedom camping?
Freedom camping is the ultimate outdoor experience. Just you, your fellow travellers and nature. It means you won’t have to worry about plugging your campervan into power, and you can really explore New Zealand’s beautiful, legal camping grounds. You’ll have the comforts and facilities of your motorhome, with uninterrupted, stunning views of the great outdoors.
There are districts in New Zealand that do not permit you to freedom camp. These areas may or may not be clearly sign posted so we recommend you always check with a local first. Visitor Information Centres or ‘iSites’ will always be able to advise you.

Sometimes these might be beside a river, or overlooking a nice view.

Campsite Options
In addition to the many catered and self-catered places to stay in Southern Africa, there are hundreds of camping, campervan and motorhome sites that are in or near popular nature reserves, wildlife parks and famous landscapes, tourist attractions, tour routes and the gorgeous coastline that stretches for thousands of kilometres.
The smell of the bush, the sound of animals calling, light as it casts its yellow glow over the savannah, the crisp morning air, and the warm rays of the African sun. There are few better ways to get really close to the Southern African outdoors than by pitching a tent or setting up a campervan or motorhome in the heart of this raw beauty.
There are basic camp sites, where visitors come to enjoy the serenity of the outdoors without the hustle and bustle of city life. Some of these have electricity and ablutions available, while others are more rustic, little more than a clearing in the verdant vegetation. On the other side of the spectrum, there are luxurious tented camps, where tents stand on raised platforms and boast king-sized beds, inviting linen, mosquito nets, and electricity. Affectionately dubbed ‘glamping’, this is a real treat for those that want to enjoy the camping experience with a touch of the glamour and convenience that comes with modern living.
The majority of campsites offer powered sites for campervans and motorhomes. The shared bathrooms and toilets at campsites are often basic but usually well attended to. Easy access to shared kitchen and bathroom facilities is generally available on these sites. The majority of campsites offer a private barbeque facility where campfires are permitted. Some sites even offer a private ablution and small kitchen wash-up facility.
Many campsites in Southern Africa form part of a hotel or lodge and campers may utilise lodge facilities such as restaurants, swimming pools and laundry facilities.
Some of the most popular camping destinations in Southern Africa include the Kruger National Park and the Garden Route in South Africa, Sossusvlei and Etosha National Park in Namibia and the beautiful Chobe National Park in northern Botswana.
The Southern African camping experience is a truly special one. Whatever your preference, Southern Africa has something for everyone, and you will find yourself planning your next camping trip even before you have concluded your Southern African holiday and returned home.

Weather
Despite Canada’s size, weather patterns are mostly the same across the country, with defined seasons similar to those in Europe. Coastal regions are usually more temperate than prairie provinces and mountain ranges attract higher rainfall and snow in some areas than others. It’s cold everywhere in winter and warm in most locations in summer. The summer months offer sunny days and pleasant temperatures. Springtime reveals forests and wildflowers and the re-emergence of Canadian wildlife from winter hibernation. September is the peak of the salmon run, attracting large numbers of bears. It also marks the start of autumn, with spectacular fall foliage lasting into October.

Itinerary
Days 1 – 3: UK – Las Vegas
Arrive into Las Vegas in the early evening and watch the city as it comes to life with its famous neon lights, Vegas has got to be seen to be believed with each hotel seeming like a destination in its own right.
Days 4 – 5: Kingman (171 km / 107 miles)
Transfer to the Las Vegas motorhome depot for a full orientation session before you hit the road. Start your journey via Lake Mead and the impressive Hoover Dam. From there, you’ll encounter your first taste of the old west in Chloride, home of the oldest silver mining camp in Arizona.
Days 6 – 7: Grand Canyon National Park (275 km / 172 miles)
Cruise in the shadow of the Aquarius and Juniper Mountains as you head towards one of the ‘Seven Wonders of the World’ – The Grand Canyon. Just over an hour outside of Kingman, you’ll encounter another Route 66 gem – Seligman. Home of the Roadkill Café, it’s an Arizona institution and a great stop for breakfast.
Days 8 – 9: Lake Powell (214 km / 134 miles)
Drive to Lake Powell, a man-made reservoir on the Colorado River which straddles the border between Arizona and Utah. The amazing backdrop of dramatic red rock against the shimmering water is breathtaking.
Days 10 – 11: Monument Valley 195 km / 122 miles)
Rise early and journey east to Monument Valley, where monolithic sandstone rocks rise up to 1,000 feet from the desert floor. Feeling a bit of déjà vu? The valley has been used as a setting for countless Western movies since the 1940s, so it’s bound to feel familiar.
Days 12 – 13: Moab & Arches National Park (234 km / 146 miles)
Enjoy wall-to-wall scenery on your way to Moab, set in the heart of Utah’s dramatic Canyonlands. Most of Utah lies on a plateau 4,000 feet above sea level. Explore Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, as well as the lesser-known but equally magnificent Dead Horse State Park. Excursions including white water rafting along the Colorado River, or a 4x4 jeep tour deep into canyon country can be arranged.
Days 14 – 15: Capitol Reef National Park (250 km / 156 miles)
Be sure to include Goblin State Park along your way today as you travel to Capitol Reef National Park. The strange and colourful landscape is full of strange rock formations that resemble a huge gathering of goblins!
Days 16 – 17: Bryce Canyon National Park (174 km / 109 miles)
Drive via one of America’s most dramatic routes – Highway 12 National Scenic Byway. The road is very narrow at the top, twisting through Dixie National Forest and across Boulder Mountain which exceeds 11,000 ft. and is the highest timbered plateau in North America.
Days 18 – 19: Zion National Park (139 km / 87 miles)
Continue on the scenic byway all the way to Zion, Utah’s oldest national park. Once in Zion, you’ll understand why a writer experiencing the park once commented, ‘It is here that the grandeur of the natural form unites with brilliancy of colour.’ From sunrise to sunset, the changing scenes pass before you in extraordinary hues.
Day 20: Las Vegas (264 km / 165 miles)
Today you should consider taking a slight detour and take a gentle drive through the flaming colours of Valley of the Fire State Park, Nevada. Continue on to Las Vegas for your final night in your RV.
Days 21 – 22: Las Vegas – UK
Spend the morning packing and then return your RV to the depot before your flight back to the UK.

Campsite Options
Campgrounds are a major part of any motorhome holiday in the USA and whether you like to plan every aspect of your holiday or prefer the freedom to plan as you go, you will need to know where you can find campgrounds.
USA Campsites
There are thousands of campgrounds situated throughout the United States of America, made up of independents and franchises and below is a selection of links to the major Camp Ground & RV Park websites in the US:
National Park Service
America’s National Parks boast some of the finest campgrounds in the country. nps.gov/subjects/camping/campground.htm
State Parks USA
America’s State Parks also have beautiful campgrounds and are similar to those in the National Parks. stateparks.com
GoRVing
A great platform to help you find your RV campground and lots more. gorving.com/where-to-find/campgrounds
Reserve America

KOA

Free Campgrounds
For bargain-hunters, is a list of places where you can camp for free or nearly free. rvtravel.com/free-and-cheap-rv-camping/
As a minimum we recommend you pre-book at least your first night in advance as this will give you peace of mind as to where you are going. Most Americans travel to campgrounds over weekends and bank holidays so we strongly recommend prebooking your campgrounds in advance during these periods and during peak times.
When booking your campgrounds, we recommend booking a ‘pull through site’ as this will allow you to drive in one end and pull out the other when you leave.
Full ‘Hook Ups’ allows you to connect to Mains water, Mains Electricity (powers the roof air conditioner and plug sockets) and waste.
Please be aware that campgrounds in more rural areas may not have all amenities.

a. read these Terms & Conditions and agree to be bound by them;
b. consents to our use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy which has full information regarding the way in which we use and store your personal data and can be found at https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/privacy-policy and you are authorised on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose their personal details to us, including where applicable, special categories of data (such as information on health conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements); and

1. Contract
When making your booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable Supplier/Principal (e.g. the tour operator) of the Arrangements, as specified on your confirmation invoice. As the promoter of the holidays we accept no responsibility for the acts or omissions of the Supplier/Principal or for the services provided by them. Your booking is subject to these Terms and Conditions and the specific terms and conditions of the relevant Supplier/Principal(s) you contract with and you are advised to read both carefully prior to booking. The Supplier/Principal’s booking conditions may limit and/or exclude the Supplier/Principal's liability to you. Please ask the Supplier/Principal for copies of these if you do not have them. Your booking is confirmed and a contract between you and the Supplier/Principal will exist when they send you confirmation.
2. Booking
Please check that all names, dates and timings are correct on receipt of all documents and advise the Supplier/Principal of any errors immediately. Any changes to these details will incur the charges stated below. Please ensure that the names given are the same as in the relevant passport. The booking information that you provide to us will be passed on only to the relevant Supplier/Principal of your Arrangements or other persons necessary for the provision of your Arrangements.
3. Payment
In order to book your chosen Arrangements, you must pay a deposit as required by the Supplier/Principal of the Arrangements (or full payment if booking within 14 weeks of departure or as requested by the Supplier/Principal). You must also pay all applicable insurance premiums and booking fees.
If you have paid a deposit, you must pay the full balance by the balance due date notified to you. If full payment is not received by the balance due date, the Supplier/ Principal may cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out in their booking conditions.
4. Prices
We reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time. We also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur. You must check the price of your chosen Arrangements at the time of booking.
5. Insurance
Many Supplier/Principals require you to take out travel insurance as a condition of booking with them. In any event, we strongly advise that you take out a policy of insurance in order to cover you and your party against the cost of cancellation by you; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money; and other expenses. If we have issued your policy please check it carefully to ensure that all the details are correct and that all relevant information has been provided by you (e.g. pre-existing medical conditions). Failure to disclose relevant information will affect your insurance.
6. Special Requests
If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements, cots or room location), please let the Supplier/Principal know at the time of booking. We can't guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not.
7. Changes and Cancellations by you
Any cancellation or amendment request must be sent to the Supplier/Principal
in accordance with their booking terms and conditions. Please ensure that you have received written confirmation of any changes to your booking prior to travel. Amendments and cancellations can only be accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Supplier/Principal of your Arrangements. The Supplier/Principal may charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their booking conditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the Arrangements and will normally increase closer to the date of departure).
Please note: some Supplier/Principals do not allow changes and therefore full cancellation charges will apply.
8. Changes and Cancellations by the Supplier/Principal
The Supplier/Principal will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if the Supplier/ Principal needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Arrangements or to cancel them. We have no liability to you in these circumstances.
9. Our Responsibility for your Booking
Your contract is with the Supplier/Principal and its booking conditions apply. As promoter of the holidays, we accept no responsibility for the actual provision of the Arrangements. We accept no responsibility for any information about the Arrangements that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to twice the cost of the commission we earn on your booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the booking is affected). We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
10. Visa, Passport and Health Requirements
The Supplier/Principal can provide general information about the passport and visa requirements for your trip. Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. Neither we nor the Supplier/Principal accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. Please note that these requirements may change between booking and departure. Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. Please take special note that for all air travel within the British Isles, airlines require photographic identification of a specific type. Please ask the Supplier/Principal for full details. They can provide general information about any health formalities required for your trip but you should check with your own doctor for your specific circumstances.
11. Complaints
Because the contract for your Arrangements is between you and the Supplier/Principal, any queries or concerns about your Arrangements should be addressed to them. If you have a problem with your Arrangements whilst using them, this must be reported to the Supplier/Principal immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Supplier/Principal to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to may therefore be reduced or extinguished as a result.
If you wish to complain when you return home, write to the Supplier/Principal. You will see their name and contact details in any confirmation documents they send you. We will of course assist you with this if you wish – please contact us.
You may wish to consider using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The Supplier/ Principal are a member of ABTA and are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. They can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If they can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.
If you wish to complain about any service we have provided to you then please contact us directly.
12. Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms & Conditions are governed by English law and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction (unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case you can bring proceedings in your local court under Scottish or Northern Irish law, as applicable).
13. Final Travel Arrangements
Please ensure that all your travel, passport, visa and insurance documents are in order and that you arrive in plenty of time for checking in at the airport. It may be necessary to reconfirm your flight with the airline prior to departure. If you fail to reconfirm you may be refused permission to board the aircraft and you are unlikely to receive any refund.
14. Accommodation Ratings and Standards
All ratings are as provided by the relevant Supplier/Principal. These are intended to give a guide to the services and facilities you should expect from your accommodation. Standards and ratings may vary between countries, as well as between suppliers. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any ratings given.
15. Documentation & Information
All descriptions and content on our website or otherwise issued by us is done so on behalf of the Supplier/Principal in question and are intended to present a general idea of the services provided by the Supplier/Principal. Not all details of the relevant services can be included on our website. All services shown are subject to availability. If you require any further details, in respect of any Arrangements or any other services please contact us.
16. Financial Protection
All the package holidays sold by the Supplier/Principal come with protection for your money. If you buy a single travel service then this might not apply. Package holidays are protected by the package organiser (which will be the Supplier/Principal) and they will provide you with their confirmation. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from them you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong.
