A somewhat surprisingly popular holiday park 10 minutes from ChristchurchJOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF Camping at Spencer Park campground, where it's 5km from home and 500m to the beach. It's potentially New Zealand's most convenient holiday park, with the ability to drive home, feed the cat and be back in just 20 minutes. The Christchurch City Council-owned Spencer Park is just like any other holiday park, with facilities including a nice beach, a bouncy thing for the kids, a water slide, a high-wire course over the road, and activities like movie nights. Patriarch Tony Burling-Claridge never thought the Christchurch holiday park would end up being their family's go-to every year. JOSEPH JOHNSON/STUFF Spencer Park is just a short drive from the centre of Christchurch and a popular camping spot for locals.
