CAMPING THE KIWI WAY

NZ’s independent national network for self-containment certification

NZ Lifestyle Camping operates as an independent national network for self-containment certification to support the NZ vehicle camping industry.

You do not need to be a member of a club or organisation to get your self-containment certification through NZLC but must have a vehicle that is fit for the purpose of habitation.

NZ Lifestyle Camping’s network of more than 150 testing officers continues to offer self-containment in accordance with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers, self-containment regulations.

We are committed to supporting all types of campers

We also offer alternative certification (low cost option) for those who do not freedom camp or for staying at host properties and events. This is suitable for vehicles with portable toilets and tiny homes as evidence of self-containment.

FYI: We do not recommend freedom camping while you await your final documentation and window card. Without these you are at risk being fined.
