CAMPING TRAIN LEAVES 3rd March 2026
The idea of a camping train is to allow campers a chance to explore further than normal yet in safe settings. Just as you would with a normal train, you can enjoy the whole trip, or meet up or depart from any location along the way, especially if we are near your neighborhood!
This time we are traveling south.
We will leave Christchurch on Tuesday 3rd March meeting at the first location, yet to be named.
We will enjoy 3 different venues on our way to the Caitlins where we could/might spend a week exploring the area with a local for our guide. We meet at the Caitlins Friday 6th March, destination to come.
From here we will spend a few days discovering why 33,000 people choose to live in the Southland District.
Possibly from here we could travel across to Te Anau so if anyone wants to see the Doubtful Sounds or Milford Sounds (even overnighters) we can allow for this.
Following this the next destination will be the Queenstown district on private property. We expect to arrive here approx 20th March.
The following week we will travel the West Coast.
March 26th we are due at Nelson Creek where our avid gold seekers had so much fun last March.
From here we will discuss if anyone wants to meet up at Muchison before returning home.
REMEMBER: you can join or leave the camping train at any time.
OTHER LOCATIONS
Decided nightly as a group.
Details will be put on Facebook to allow casual campers to join us.
COSTS
The last trip averaged about $20 a night.
We try to have as many free or low cost accommodation with a few campgrounds tossed in for nice showers, washing etc.
