@dhe kiwis love to travel, so we love meeting people from other countries, cultural exchanges, and all that jazz. But our infrastructure just about covers our general population and seems to be strained in popular tourist areas. We get a lot of backpackers, as you’d imagine, and most are amazing. But with “freedom camping” becoming more popular there are a lot of resulting issues coming up there. I don’t blame people for not wanting to use campgrounds here. The facilities in most are good, but they are overpriced, and in summer you are really squeezed in. I grew up in the states and going from the camping of my youth to kiwi campgrounds is a real let-down.
