Gypsy NZ! Road trip travel tips!

 A camping, road trip can give you the freedom to come and go as you please. We have compiled some tips to  help make the gypsy life easier.



*Go to tourist information center when you arrive in a town. They will tell you a suitable place to stay as well as what to do in the area.

*DOC (department of conservation) camp sites are truly beautiful. At $6 per person per night, it is a fantastic to get away into nature. These are very basic camp spots in picturesque surroundings. There are toilets and camp fires and that is about it folks!

*Shop around for tours or cruises. Jucy offers the same deal at a cheaper price. You even get a further discount if you show your Jucy key tag.

*Travel clothes line is great for drying underwear whilst on the move.

*Ensure your fuel tank is full  before you leave each town.

*Make sure you have a couple of basic meals stocked up in case you stop for the night away from a town.

*Golden rule of road trip travel is to be settled in camp site by 4 pm each day.

*Purchase a bucket, so you don't have to leave the van for that midnight wee.

*Read van manual. Then you will realise that ! red light means that the hand brake is still on and not that the engine is going to explode. Knowing your van also helps when it comes to emptying gray water and filling up fresh tank.

*Just because the title has beach in it, don't assume it is anywhere near the beach.


What are you waiting for? Hit the road, Jack!
