Campervan hire in Whanganui

Located along the Whanganui River, this city is a site of significant cultural importance surrounded by seemingly untouched and diverse natural landscapes. Still home to the Ngāti Tūpoho hapū of the iwi Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi, Whanganui is also one of the first settler cities of New Zealand and an excellent base from which to explore the region’s fine arts – particularly glass sculpture – the nearby Whanganui National Park, and to prepare for the Whanganui Journey.

Located just 10 km northwest of Whanganui, the Whanganui River Top 10 Holiday Park is nestled right on the banks of the Whanganui River and is equipped with a boat ramp. With a nearby bridge to State Highway 4, this park allows for a quick getaway into this beautiful region – whether by boat or campervan! While there is plenty of parking available in downtown Whanganui, it is metered, costing between $0.50 and $2.00 an hour. For extended stay parking, you can leave your car at the airport for $10 a day. With that said, there are a number of spots in central Whanganui for self-contained freedom camping.
