Looking for Campervans in Picton? We review 5 local campervan hire agencies.
Picton is a small South Island town tucked into the head of the Queen Charlotte Sound, in the heart of the spectacular Marlborough Sounds. If you are doing an inter-island trip of NZ in your campervan, you will pass through Picton by necessity, as it is the only way to cross the Cook Strait from the South Island to the North and vice versa (by ferry or car ferry). However, there’s more to Picton than just being a place to pass through, the Marlborough Sounds is a world class marine environment and is starting off point for a number of amazing walking trails including the Queen Charlotte Track. Picton can be your starting point for exploring the South Island – and you will be spoiled for choice with the option of heading down either coastline!
There are only a couple of campervan hire companies available in Picton, but they are within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal.
