The New Zealand Motor Caravan Association Inc (NZMCA) is a membership-based organisation representing the interests of private motorhome and caravan owners in New Zealand. Formed in 1956, member benefits include discounts on services and products, free and low-cost overnight sites, a dedicated insurance scheme and a range of publications & digital resources.^[1] Membership is restricted to permanent New Zealand residents and only those overseas residents who are current financial members of a kindred club in their home country. All members' vehicles must be certified as self-contained^[2] and prominently display the distinctive NZMCA winged logo.

The NZMCA engages with territorial authorities on provisions for freedom camping, based on the Freedom Camping Act 2011. It claims that Queenstown-Lakes District Council has effectively banned freedom camping, in contravention of the law, and after engaging 17 times with QLDC over a ten-year period, lodged proceedings in the High Court in March 2021.^[3] The following month, the NZMCA announced that they would take Marlborough District Council to the High Court over similar issues.^[4]
