Why New Zealand Holiday Parks are a Must-Stay for Every Traveller

New Zealand’s holiday parks offer a unique blend of nature, comfort, and local charm, making them a fantastic accommodation choice for both local and international travellers. Here are some of the top reasons why you should stay at one of NZ’s holiday Parks, and if you’re planning on visiting New Plymouth, make sure you contact us at Fitzroy Beach Holiday Park for your accommodation. 

• Immerse Yourself in Nature

Holiday parks are often located in stunning, peaceful settings near beaches, rivers, forests, and national parks. You’ll have easy access to outdoor activities like swimming, kayaking, hiking, and cycling, or you can book adventure tours such as ziplining, wildlife cruises, or white-water rafting right at your doorstep.

• A True Kiwi Experience

Holiday parks deliver a classic New Zealand experience, where you can immerse yourself in the laid-back Kiwi culture. With their friendly atmosphere and connection to nature, these parks offer an authentic way to enjoy Aotearoa’s landscapes and people.

• Great Value for All Budgets

From budget-friendly campsites to more upscale glamping, cabins, motels, and luxury apartments, holiday parks cater to a variety of preferences and budgets. There’s an option for everyone, whether you're looking for a simple place to pitch your tent or a more luxurious stay.

• Year-Round Comfort

No matter the season, holiday parks provide comfortable accommodations, including motels and other cosy spaces. Many parks offer warm communal lounges for campers, caravanners and motorhome enthusiasts, making them ideal for year-round travel. Look out for off-peak specials to make your stay even more affordable.

• Excellent Facilities with Friendly Service

Holiday parks offer more than just a place to sleep. Enjoy communal kitchens, BBQ areas, laundry facilities, wifi, and even playgrounds, hot pools, and swimming pools. Friendly staff are often on hand to give local travel tips and help with the facilities and activity bookings.

• Family & Group-Friendly

With accommodation options ranging from basic campsites to self-contained apartments, holiday parks are perfect for families and group gatherings. Many even offer conference rooms and lounges, making them ideal for special events or group meet-ups.

• Cycle-Friendly

New Zealand’s holiday parks are often located near some of the country’s best scenic cycling trails, making them a top choice for cycling enthusiasts.

• Flexible Travel Options

Holiday parks provide more flexibility than many other types of accommodation. Thanks to their generous capacity and variety of lodging types, they often have availability at short notice, making it easy to adjust your travel plans on the go—especially outside of peak season.

• Light Environmental Footprint

Holiday parks offer a more sustainable travel option by encouraging longer stays and shared facilities. Many parks are dedicated to minimising their environmental impact through projects like wildlife conservation and native plant revegetation, so you can enjoy a low-impact holiday.

• Support Local Communities

Most holiday parks are locally or regionally owned and operated, meaning your stay supports local communities and economies. When you choose to stay at a holiday park, you're helping to sustain the local businesses and people that make New Zealand so special.

Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, New Zealand’s holiday parks offer the perfect combination of natural beauty, comfort, and local flavour for a memorable trip. We'd love to see you stay at Fitzroy Beach Holiday Park on your next escapade. Book your accommodation early to avoid disappointment.
