Camping

Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region are home to numerous camping grounds. The Christmas-New Year period has traditionally been a time when families leave the stress of work and the comforts of home behind to camp at the beach or river. From campgrounds situated within the city, to further afield, explore this New Zealand holiday tradition.
