- This little video is a good look into the beauty of camping remotely on the East Coast/ Cape of New Zealand. A part thats often bypassed as it's way off the main trail through New Zealand.
Out these ways you will find a stack of empty beaches and free camping sites. The one thing that you likely won't get out here though is water.
We've show cased the some of our best parts of camping out these ways as well as how destructive a big storm can be to the coast.
Hope you enjoy our video.

NZ is a beautiful country. Thank you.
It is beautiful 😍 what makes New Zealand 🇳🇿 so unique is we have such a variety of landscapes in 2 islands combined are the size of Colorado. Your going to love the South island when we get done there early Jan, that place is unreal... thanks for watching mate, hope its not to cold in Ohio
Great video! Kind of compressed everything into an advert for the East Coast. My family has owned a house at Te Kaha for 67 years and that is where we are heading after Christmas. Thanks Leopards, have a great Christmas, (and Summer)
oh wow, should have messaged you for a spot as well.. We had rubbish weather at Te Kaha which was annoying I was so keen to get some fishing in there... Merry Xmas to Ya'll as well.
Hey guys it was wonderful meeting you at Mahia. Have a wonderful Christmas and hope we meet again somewhere on the road. Oh and will keep the hose handy just in case it looks like rain.😄
Great over view mahi was my fav and that church and light house was beautiful
Mahia was your favourite aye... pretty awesome spot... your going to our next video bro...
What a quality wrap up if your East Cape trip! You should be proud of this Mike, loved it
Thanks mate, I'm hoping this video will be one of those ones people find when searching the East cape... My 20 days in the Far North one, has been getting a lot of views over the spring and summer, one of the better preforming videos so hopefully this one will be similar. Lots of time in the editing process of this one. Glad you enjoyed it. I have enjoyed watching it also. You guys have some good summer camping locations planned?
@@leopardsgowild we have a few ideas for our summer trip but nothing set. Maybe the Westcoast around Westport then another trip to Pukaki in the new year
What an amazing trip! So many great tips.
It was an amazing trip... I think early summer has ripped us off a bit though, really appreciated those nice beautiful days when we got them.
*was thinking about you guys last night when watching the Netflix documentary about the Whakaari eruption, it reminded me I still had this on my watch list.*
Yea pretty full on eruption for people... the island is constantly steaming away out at sea 🌊 I don't think tourism operators have started again... but don't quote me on that... pretty horrific thing to have happened to those poor people 😢
thanks for sharing - a place I've not been too either - maybe one day!
Thanks for the comment Catherine. It's a great location just a bit of driving compared to a lot of other amazing locations you can get to in New Zealand in less time... I just love the quietness of it all, it also has a lot of history... I wonder if this area was busy 70 years ago then it is today?
Great episode brother, i really needed this right now... its amazing i live on the same planet as New Zealand , some of those shot were amazing... youve really turned a corner in the editing too, always been great but this one could be professionally done and also a video some1 whos never been to your country could watch and fall in love! hope you guys r well,,, you said you MIGHT see us in another video>????!?!? there better be a bunch more😉! thanks again Mike see yah in the next 1!!
I expect this one to be one new people click on as people around here want to know what it's like out East Cape 🙃... Def more to come.... amazing how diverse this planet is aye, some stunning places
I'll second the editing comment.
Another great episode Mike!
My wife, three kiddies and I have recently purchased a caravan to with our first proper trip starting this Sunday.
We are learning so much from your videos and are almost tempted to bite the bullet and do something similar.
We’re heading from Welly up the East Coast, so we might bump into you at a campsite in the next few days.
I look forward to the next video.
Cheers,
Josh.
Oh thats so cool Josh. TH-cam def helps with getting a few tips aye. We've learnt a lot over the years from being tenters, to the retro caravan, which had no plumbing to now being in a tiny home lol... We are heading towards Napier as the weather is looking average, feel free to private message us on Insta or Facebook if you want to come find us. We got a couple of mint spots we would like to check out and you'd be welcome to join us.
Good Video!

Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it 👍
This is awesome
Cheers bro... Trying to give a good honest go at this...
cheers for sharing your adventures mate
Oh you are so welcome, thanks for taking the time to Comment, it means a lot when you get comments on your videos. Pretty awesome spot.
Awesome. There are heaps of to no camping sites in the Tasman area now. But things are close so day trips are good. Thanks to NZMCA staying at Pōhara area is wonderful. Thanks Mike great video Brian and Anna on a South Island adventure
oh go you guys. I hope the weather is being kind... It's a shame when freedom camp sites close down. I feel like they almost need more of them rather then less... They should also have some that are designated toilets on board and sites which have a public toilet available... I'm a big fan of responsible camping... you can have no gear and still camp responsibly and respectfully and you can also have all the gear and be irresponsible with your camping... Enjoy the South Island we are looking forward to getting down there Mid Jan!
Hi, I left a comment on a video of yours about camping in Taupo if you're able to answer :))
Yip just saw that, I'll comment over on that comment.
What is the name of the song in the intro and outro?
I love this song... It's called "Life time" by the Dramatics.
@@leopardsgowild thank you
Ka pai Whanau
Cheers brother Charles merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to the whanau
:: Currently packing Swifty ::
Nice are you guys heading this was soon? Get in early
@@leopardsgowild Far north this week - East Cape after Christmas.
@@craignelson-swiftyenzed7578 Oh cool where are you going in the far north?
@@leopardsgowild Paihia, then 4 days at Pukenui - day trip to the top.
Great information, I'm surprised at the cost of water, where I live , A Mining area a lot of people buy their water , Only $5, for 1000 litres, There is town water for freehold blocks and some lucky mining claims. , But most have to cart water., Enjoyed episode Cheers Bevan 🤠❤️🦘🦘🇦🇺
I imagine for 1000 litres that would be for a house fill?? Or House water tanks???
Generally water in New Zealand is completly free first time i have ever paid for water, but there isn't any other option out these ways. This spot Te Puia springs is on spring water but they are paying for it to be treated was their reasoning... I feel desert water out in the mines is pretty cheap then aye? $5 for 1000 litres... In a house you would ration water far less though.
