Although you won’t find any freedom camping spots in Wānaka either, compared to its bigger sibling, Queenstown, and other parts of the region, the feeling is much more welcoming. From several highly rated camping grounds, including affordable options, to easy parking in town and a very well set-up dump station, the town does a lot to ensure RVers have an enjoyable time.
