Wake up on a farm, between the vines or above a quiet bay, with a local host who's glad you came. Campable is motorhome, campervan and tent camping on private land across New Zealand. Farms, orchards, vineyards and lifestyle blocks. Book your site in the app, drive in and settle in. Nobody's going to move you on. MORE THAN A PLACE TO PARK • Room to breathe: a paddock or a row of vines instead of a row of vans • A local who knows: hosts share the walk worth doing, the swimming hole and the café with live music • Something extra: fresh eggs and fruit at the gate, a cellar-door tasting, a farm tour or a meal with your host FIND THE RIGHT SITE • Browse on the map or as a list. Plan ahead or find tonight's stay from the road • Show only places that take your vehicle, certified self-contained or not • Bringing a tent? Show only places that take tents • Travelling with a dog? Show only places that take pets • Instant Book only: see the sites you can book straight away • Filter for power, water, toilets, showers and more SEE IT ALL BEFORE YOU BOOK • Photos, reviews from guests who've stayed, house rules and what's nearby • Prices are per site, not per person, and set by your host • You see the total before you pay. Pay by card through Stripe TALK TO YOUR HOST • Message your host in the app, before and after you book • See when your message has been read ON THE ROAD • Dump stations and LPG refills on the map, with directions • Cook Strait ferries • My Trips keeps every booking in one place FREEDOM CAMPING GETTING HARDER? Campable sites are on private land, so your host decides who can stay. Plenty of sites suit vehicles that aren't certified self-contained. GOT LAND? HOST FROM YOUR PHONE Earn from a spare paddock or a corner of the vineyard. My Hosting puts your calendar, bookings, messages and money in one place. No listing fee. Every booking shows what you receive, after Stripe's card fee and Campable's share. Made in New Zealand by a small Kiwi team.
