NZ Travel Apps

Here's a quick rundown of some recommendations for apps to help you on your #vanlife adventure around NZ

In no particular order......

CAMPERMATE

A map-based solution to find all those hidden (and not so hidden) camping spots. Widely used so the info in the app is usually very up-to-date.

Has a very useful filter to help you search for everything from filming locations to public toilets

PROS:

A ton of contributors means lots of useful reviews
Easy to use
Will notify you if you're close to somewhere that has a special offer

CONS:

App is monetised so some campgrounds are only visible when you zoom right in
Possibly an overwhelming amount of info and features for the less tech-savvy folk
