Glentanner Park Centre - The complete Mount Cook Experience
Glentanner Park is the leading flightseeing and activity centre, budget accommodation provider and the only fully equipped campground and RV park in the Mount Cook Region.
We also have an Information centre and merino outlet shop. We are located just 18km from Aoraki Mt Cook National Park which is abundant with world renowned walks and hikes.
Nestled amongst native bush with panoramic views of Mt Cook and Lake Pukaki, you will find Self Contained Units (revamped Oct 2010), Standard and Basic Units, Dormitory and Powered and Tent Sites. Facilities include a computers and WiFi, kitchen, dining and TV lounge area and an indoor/outdoor BBQ Pavilion.
Activities include helicopter flights with snow landings, scenic plane flights, glacier trips, walking, hunting and fishing.
Tasman Delta Cafe, Restaurant and Catering is located inside Glentanner Park Centre, it is open for breakfast and lunch all year round and evening dining in the summer months. They can cater to groups of all sizes any time of the year (pre-booking essential).
Glentanner Park is also set amongst a high country sheep station, and while you are at Glentanner you may even come across a 'Mt Cook Traffic Jam'.
We look forward to welcoming you here to the high country!
<b>Tip:<b> Many travelers regret only staying 1 night, stay 2-3 nights plus so you can get the most out of this beautiful region.

5.0/5
Excellent site with amazing views of Mount Cook.
Site is well maintained and pitches spaced out especially the non powered ones. Plenty of showers/toilets, a coin operated laundry area and great kitchen/dining/lounge area. Not cheap but well worth it after a few nights freedom camping.

Stayed a couple of nights as we couldn't get in to White Horse Hill.
We were glad we did though - hot showers, clean and no queues at all in the block we used. Sheltered spacious pitches with views out over the lake. The drive up and back to Mt Cook each day was no problem.

Facilities were good - clean toilets, hot showers, lots of crockery in the kitchens - just not enough of them!
Two toilets + two urinals (men) or four toilets (ladies) and three basins each for 60 sites isn't enough. Expect lines morning and evening.

Campsites are spaced out, which is great for noise and privacy from your neighbors, not so great when having to walk to shower/bathroom facilities in driving rain.
Bathroom was clean and the shower had plenty hot water though. Kitchen and dining area was sufficient for my needs. No stove or oven, just hot plates, microwaves, and toasters.

Such a beautiful place!
All the space you want, you can find your own place. Trees, grass. Also a good kitchen and showers. Don't forget to inform if the restaurant is open or do shopping before arrival. A place to remember, mt Cook you can see already.

scenic views but note that there is a long walk to facilities from many of the sites.
the kitchen and spacious lounge both overwhelmed with people during breakfast and dinner times.
expect a queue for toilets and showers and beware only cold water showers in evening
no hand wash soap in mens toilets or wash up liquid in kitchen

In good weather, the place might get bonus points, but unfortunately we didn't have any.
Otherwise, it was rather mediocre!
Apart from the fact that, as is often the case, the lounge and dining area is far too small (with only a moderately full campsite), the facilities and sanitary areas leave a lot to be desired.
The cookers are greasy, handles are missing on two-plate cookers and the kitchen is generally quite cramped when preparing food.
If you go to the men's toilet, you almost fall into the urinal, some of the handles on the washbasins don't work, people blow-dry their hair under the hand dryer, and here, too, the ceilings are very narrow and quite low.
But you have no choice if you want to go to the Aoraki area, unless you stay in a classy hostel in Mount Cook Village or take the Top 10 in Twizel and have the journey, although I don't know what it's like because I haven't been there!In good weather, the place might get bonus points, but unfortunately we didn't have any.

I can't understand how you can objectively rate this place with 10 points.

Hot damn these are the best campsite showers I've encountered whilst camping ever.
Nice staff, super clean and nice grassy spots for setting up a tent. Fully stocked kitchen with stoves and hot drinking water. Good information about the area and walks to be done around mt. Cook

Beautiful location with mountain views, making atmospheric photos in the morning or evening light.
The facilities were good, hot showers, and regularly cleaned bathroom facilities. The communal kitchen was huge and plenty of room for the large amount of people who were staying.

Really nice site with good facilities and nice views across the lake from the powered sites.
Loses a couple of points for lack of a dump station.
No floor squeegees in the shower area but this seems to be a NZ thing.

Ruhiger Campground, ca.
20 Minuten vom Parkplatz zum Hooker Valley Track entfernt. Supernette Staff, schöner Rasenplatz, voll ausgestattete Campers Kitchen (bestimmt an die 40 Pfannen und Töpfe, Teller ohne Ende, alle möglichen Kochutensilien -> das habe ich so noch nie erlebt). BBQ-Area mit Blick auf den Mt. Cook, sensationell! Für Duschen und Toiletten gibt es einen alten und einen hervorragenden neuen Block. 1 Punkt Abzug lediglich für den weiten Weg von unserem Stellplatz zu den Facilities (ca. 250m).

Very friendly staff.
Amazing views. Clean and new toilets and warm showers. Toilets seemed heated at night but was cold in the morning. There is a huge kitchen and dining area with a tv. We didn't use those but seemed clean.

Good stay as very spacious park.
Great kitchen facilities such as pots, pans, utensils, fridge and all sorts. Bathrooms clean but was expecting more updated comparing with kitchen but only powered place close to Mt Cook.

We loved this park!
Granted we arent as well traveled as others, but it was one of our favorites from our 4-day camper van adventure. Lots of spots to choose from and all had a beautiful backdrop. Bathrooms looked like they had recently been redone and were squeaky clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to clean up our dishes, and the common area had a ‘take a book leave a book’ shelf which we always love. Internet was Meh and really the only negative I can think of. Very convenient to stay here before our Hooker Lake hike the next day!

One of our favorite sites on our roadie.
If you're lucky you can grab a spot with epic views of Aoraki. Less if trees to camp under. Unlimited hot showers (!!!) And great cooking facilities. Very lovely staff and well worth the price

Lovely location.
Clean ablutions. Kitchen area well appointed. Plenty of room to relax and use WiFi if required. Close to Mt Cook. Pricey but that’s due to location.

22$ for an unpowered site beginning October.
Unpowered sites are very muddy when it's raining. Little grass available although reception tells you it's all grass. Facilities are clean and well kept. Kitchen is large but few stoves available. Might need to bring your own, plenty of sockets to plug in. Laundry works fine but takes forever, dryers are a royal pain, seems to have a will of it's own.

Really disappointed with our stay here.
It was $50 for 2 for a powered site and we feel completely ripped off. Compared to other, cheaper campsites we’ve been at the bathrooms are dated and small, with no room to get changed. There is no dump station or water to fill up the van on site. They clearly take advantage of being the closest powered site to Mt Cook and don’t bother keeping their facilities up to standard. NOT worth the money. Also paid for WiFi and this didn’t work properly.
