Summers on New Zealand's islands are temperate and December to February draws the largest crowds, while winters at low altitudes stay mild enough for off-season camping. Food in the country leans on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, all easy to find in the larger towns. Domestic flights and ferries connect the islands, so campers can combine a road trip with a crossing. English and Māori are the main languages, and a greeting in either goes a long way at the camp office.
