What is changing
Register all your vehicles. Soon you will be given instructions on how to add your motorhome or caravan and any tow/ed vehicles to your membership. In time, you will also be able to add a vehicle when you pay for a park stay.
Using a rental or borrowed vehicle? Simply enter its licence plate when you pay your park fee so the system associates the vehicle with your stay.
Friends and family visiting? Depending on how long they are visiting you on site, you can add their licence plate to your park payment.
Registration books will be phased out over the next 12 months or so. Until then, keep signing in where a registration book is in use.
Long stays. The system will help keep track of maximum stay rules (for example, 10 nights in any 30-day period) so everyone gets a fair go.
What is staying the same
Park fees. Keep paying on arrival as you do now via the NZMCA app or website. Pay on arrival and you won’t get a reminder.
No double charging. If you tow a self-contained caravan with a self-contained campervan, you will still pay just once, as long as both are registered.
Gates. The cameras are not linked to the park entrance gates. You will need to keep opening and closing them by hand.
Short stops are still free. The grace period means you can keep using park facilities while passing through the area.
Self-containment warrants. Your vehicle still needs to display its warrant card. We are working towards members possibly no longer needing to display NZMCA wings or a silver membership card (subject to Board decision).
