Happy Camper Stories

We need & deserve happiness, enjoyment, a break, a holiday of some sort after a battling devasting, heartbreaking, distraughting, traumatising, upsetting, saddening, letdown, stressful & full-on first 8mnths of 2012. It hasnt been a good year so far & i could only wish & pray that it gets better, so people keep saying but it hasnt gotten any better yet, not for the last 8mnths anyway, so far. We love adventures, exploring & having lots of fun. We dont get to holiday & havent done so in more than 10yrs. I... read more

O, how I love my husband. He’s standing there on the side of the road filming me in our Apollo Hitop in the pouring rain. A minute ago I saw that expression on his face. It’s something in his eyes. “Esther, please stop the car!” “But Wouter, it’s raining like crazy.” “No, no, no, that’s perfect! Please drive through that puddle and make the water plash into the camera” I start the van, make some speed and drive through the... read more

While we were travelling around New Zealand with our two children, we were waiting for some money to come in from Canada. There was delay after delay with the money, and finally we were down to our last few dollars. At least we were in a motorhome, so we had no accommodation expense, and we could buy groceries instead of eating out, which was much less expensive. A motorhome saved the day! For us, an Apollo motorhome is the ideal... read more

We came across the Apollo winter special whilst surfing the net and decided that we would take advantage of their great rates and treat ourselves to a holiday in New Zealand. We had travelled a lot before we had our beautiful daughter but hadn't had the funds or time to do much since she's been around.  We thought that this would be the perfect way to travel with a child as she could sleep whilst we drove, we could take the holiday at... read more

I would die if I won this contest! Going to New Zealand and Australia has been a dream of mine for years. My parents took my brother and I on a 1-month long camping trip across Canada when I was 13 and it really opened my eyes. Since then I have driven across Canada 3 more times. If I could live in a motor home and travel every day for the rest of my life, I would be so happy!!  :D... read more

While driving around New Zealand with our two kids in a little camper van, we stopped at a pristine empty beach with some fair-sized waves and went for a swim. As we played in the water, we started teaching ourselves to body surf! It was great fun to discover riding on a wave and being wafted in to shore. A little later, we noticed the sign, "Caution, extreme undertow on this beach". We hardly knew what an undertow was, coming... read more

When I was about 5 or 6 I remember going on a trip with my family, driving all around the south island. It was so beautiful, I can remember the small towns we stopped at, the scenery, the snow the sun the fun, the fishing, the swimming, the laughing. We stayed in our tent at camping grounds close to the beaches and rivers. I remember it rained so hard we had to stay at a lodge for the night because... read more
