There are a lot of outdoor festivals in New Zealand, especially during the warmer months. And while they don't always cater on-site for campervans, there are usually other options nearby. Case in point -- Rhythm and Vines, held on New Year's Eve in Gisborne, North Island. The event itself doesn't have a campground, but they do work with BW Campgrounds who run campsites and basically host a week-long party. While BW Campgrounds caters mostly for tents, they do have some sites for campervans -- it pays to book well in advance though.The first of three lineup announcements for Rhythm and Vines 09/10 has been made: acts include Empire of the Sun, Major Lazer, Midnight Youth, State of Mind feat PNC, Krafty Kuts, LCD Soundsystem, Kora, P-Money, Bag Raiders, The Juan Maclean, The Proxy, Lisa Mitchell, Sola Rosa, Antiform, The Checks, Dick Johnson, Aural Trash, Optimus Gryme, PNC, Iva Lamkum, Bionic Pixie, Brand New Math, Computers Want Me Dead, Dan Aux (Shopliftas), Daniel Farley, Tim Richards, Maya and Vanya, Cool Kids Club, Hat, Jason Howson, P Vans.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
