A camper van with a toilet can usually be parked up for the night anywhere that doesn't say no overnight camping, but be somewhat sensible and don't do anything to annoy the locals. Many councils now explicitly ban "freedom camping", ie a tent or van with no toilet, and want you to use designated campgrounds, and the locals may get very pissed off.

There are many DOC campsites around the country that are free or cheap, but they do get very busy and a bit feral in summer especially at the nicer spots. Some are bookable, most are not.

Sometimes a commercial campground cabin or motel is a better option just for peace of mind. You may need to book ahead especially in summer meccas like nelson, wanaka or queenstown.

Depending on where you are going DOC or NZAC huts may be another option.
