Plenty of space in the off season! Beautiful view. The toilets were still nasty though so we just used the one in our van. It’s a great spot but can be very windy. We had booked for 2 nights but a storm hit and we were getting smashed with the van rocking side to side all night, then still raining all morning, so we left early. No refunds for leaving early as far as I can tell. Missed out on the hike we wanted to do unfortunately! Will have to come back another time.

Best DOC campsite. $20 per adult per night well worth it. The hut (BYO cooking equipment) has running treated water and flushing toilets. Spacious in winter but I can see it getting busy in summer. Easy access to hiking trails. Snowed overnight when we stayed and we woke up to winter wonderland. By the time we returned from our hike the road was ploughed and gritted. The views of the surrounding mountains were unreal.

Absolutely stunning spot at the foot of the mountain. We were lucky to have clear sunny days. Be sure to fill your van with water before you arrive because nowhere to fill up on site or even in mt cook town nearby. One drop toilet sufficed. Camp was quiet and serene.

Wow, what a beautiful campground. You don’t get much amenity-wise but the view and choice of hikes/tracks is just amazing and well worth the money. At least four tracks with ranging difficulties and even a track to the village which was fun. However don’t get caught out in the village with no car after dark - it’s a bit scary using the track to get back! Clean toilets. - Nishy and Nicky

We paid the $40 for the one night for 2 people. We did the mueller hut hike in just under 5h return, it was breathtaking. Definitely recommend it, if had planned better would have gone to spend the night in the red hut (mueller hut).

Great timing with us we had clear days and made the most of this incredible site thanks NZ .your tourism set up is number one.

Great starting location for various Hooker valley routes. Hooker valley walk is partially closed currently fyi. Toilets, recycling and even a communal space for washing available.

My favorite DOC campsite in NZ. Perfect location for hiking as it’s the starting point for all the best walks in mount cook. Clean toilets and washing up facilities. Busy but room for lots of campers. Book in advance. Be aware the closest supermarket is over an hour away so come prepared, although there are restaurants nearby.
