“I’ve been using the service for years and it’s a lifesaver for finding bookings for hard-to-find camping reservations in the provincial and national parks.”

Michael Kwadrans

“This was amazing. Not sure why everyone doesn't use this.... and I kinda (selfishly) hope they don't find out about it too quickly.”

Andy Ruben

“Was a little sceptical that this would even work at first. But after securing two highly sort after Ningaloo camp sites, we are pretty chuffed we took the chance on Schnerp!”

Amy Beck

“Every campsite I wanted to book for my summer holidays were full but thanks to Schnerp I was able to book over 20 campsites at the dates I wanted. This app literally saved my holidays!”

Julie Haller Fürruther

“Worked hilariously well. I signed up for a free trial and instantly got a notification for the site I wanted. I kind of hate that Schnerp has to exist, but I’m glad it does.”

Jack Hauen

“This website is amazing!!!!!! Totally recommend it! I was using campnab and I didn’t get any notifications but this one I booked sites in a few days!!!”

The Rakiura Track is a 32km loop on Stewart Island / Rakiura, New Zealand's third-largest island. The track passes through coastal forest and along sheltered beaches, with a good chance of spotting kiwi at dusk. It's the most southerly Great Walk and one of the quieter options, but hut bookings for peak months still fill up.
