With its elegant buildings, tree-lined streets and tranquil village green, scenic Cambridge is considered to be New Zealand's most 'English' town. Located on the Waikato River, this charming rural town services a lush farming district and is famous as the heart of the New Zealand thoroughbred industry. Olympic winner Charisma (ridden by Mark Todd at the 1984 and 1988 Olympics) was bred here. Antique buffs come to browse around the town's many antique shops, often finding unusual pieces. For those who enjoy watersports, nearby Lake Karapiro has facilities for waterskiing, yachting and rowing. 

Cambridge has a number of campgrounds and holiday parks catering to the needs of travellers enjoying a New Zealand camping holiday. Whether you're looking for a campsite to pitch your tent; a cabin; or a caravan park for your campervan / RV you'll find the widest choice here.
