Information
Cascade Creek Campsite
This is a standard campsite in northern Fiordland that is good for larger vehicles.
This large sheltered campsite is suitable for larger vehicles. There are lots of different areas to park up on and call your own and there is a large turning bay at the end of the gravel road. Toilets are quite new, but often quite smelly. Beautiful river nearby. Bring sandfly repellent.
This is a great place for fishing, swimming, BBQing and walking. The Lake Gunn Nature Walk starts from here, it is a flat, easy, 45 min return walk from the campsite to the edge of Lake Gunn

4.0/5
Peaceful location near the river.
Drop toilets are clean. Couple fire pits and picnic tables. Not huge amount of sandflies and there's 4G signal. We're hoping to hike Key Summit tomorrow and head to Milford Sounds the day after so the location is good, especially if you've topped up water and food in The Anau beforehand.

Closest DOC campsite towards Milford Sound.
Large area with some loos and shelter. Was clean and nice when we wete there. Water tanks wete half-full but you have to boil it before use. The small river is nice for a short bath in the morning. Lake Gunn trail provides you with a stunning view!

Large campsite with a lot of spots that fills up but didn’t feel crowded.
Great access to Milford and nearby hikes, clean toilets and cooking shelters, and some nice spots along the creek to park or camp.

Stayed 2/1/25.
$15 pp, DOC.
Long drop toilets and no showers. Water must be boiled before using.
Beautiful location with a huge variety of quite private sites.
Stay near the trees where it is sheltered!
Beware the biting bugs...
Lots of people turned up later in the evening.
Handy picnic tables scattered about.
Walking distance to a lake/forest hike.

Very nice views and the nearby short Lake Gunn walking track is pleasant.
The camping site is however quite big, and while that makes it almost certain you can find a spot it also makes it a lot less cozy.
Basic DoC site with only toilet and nothing else.

An absolute gem!
Beautiful this time of year! Very few here as it’s a wee bit chilly, but gorgeous! Massive site, lots of different spots away from trees for solar, entry in is a wee bit tight. No phone signal at all, but Starlink works a treat! Plenty of loo’s but they were mingin, though DOC did come round. Really loved it! Breathtaking views, and lots of sandflies. We did move sites early as one morning though as it rained hard and the river rose! DOC Campsite Pass is valid here, otherwise it’s $15.00 per adult! Make sure you do the little nature walk to Lake Gunn! Was great! Find us on YouTube! TASMAN TRAVELS

Most disgusting toilets ever, genuinely had to hold my breath or I'd throw up.
Location is great though and plenty of space. If you have your own toilet this place is probably fine.

Price ($15pp pn) is for its location rather than facilities (long drop toilets which were very smelly).
Beautiful views. Convenient for doing the Lake Marian and Key Summit hikes too.

This is the final DOC campsite before Milford Sound and it gets super busy at night.
However as a tent camper there are tons of spots in the trees where you can be private and not bothered by all the noise of the caravans. It has two cook shelters. Water that needs boiling. Two creeks. Lots of toilets. For how busy it is they so a good job managing the crowds. Just need to fill in all the potholes in the road. I find the ratings on here quite entertaining as this one is rated much lower than some far inferior campsites I stayed in which had better ratings. My guess is that self contained vehicle campers are the primary reviewers not tent campers like me.

Well maintained with clean toilets.
It was nice to camp near the river and we liked the hike near the lake Gunn.

15 dollars per person, really nice area.
But toilets are very disgusting! There is an open area to use like kitchen, nothing else.

15 NZD per Person per night, big campsite, cooking areas, no running water.
Many pit toilets, some mosquitos near stream.

Drop toilets were clean but smelly, as long as you don't breathe through your nose you're fine.
No other facilities so I found it very pricey. I stayed at free campsites with better facilities. The views are absolutely stunning though. Super big campsite (120 spots). Views on the mountains and next to the river. Nice walking trek to/around lake Gunn. Also closest campsite to Milford sound (except for the holiday park in milford but that was sold out 2 weeks in advance when I was there). Beware of the sand flies.

We booked and payed online, but upon arrival there were only instructions on how to pay cash.
We used the cash check-in form and wrote down the booking number where the $ amount was supposed to go. Long drop toilets were close to overflowing and the shelter only has two walls, so they don't protect against wind. The water supply is rainwater from big tanks at the shelter. You must do your dishes in your car as there are no drains. The upside is the close location to Milford Sound and an access to a neat hike up to Lake Gunn. Other than that the only thing you get are sandflies (same as everywhere around Milford Sound)

Très bien, bien placé près de Milford sound, à côté d’une petite balade et du lac, c’est vachement chouette On est resté deux jours donc ça fait un peu cher, n’oubliez pas de prendre le pass comme nous
🤣
On s’est fait contrôler les deux soirs, soyez en règle !

Campsite serves its purpose.
The closest low cost campsite to Milford Sound with a lot of space. Since we have the DOC pass, the price was okay. Non-flush toilets, which unfortunately smelled very bad. But for 1 night it was okay.

Closest to Milford, very useful location for getting the first boat.
Fine as a campsite, okay long drops, fairly busy, nice to be near the river.

Toilets were either closed or absolutely filthy and smelt really bad.
Cooking area was also really dirty.
Probably the worst campsite we have stayed at in all of New Zealand, definitely not worth the money.

Loads of space, flat pitches, toilets all okay.
Non-potable water available. Some nice walks through the woods to do but main benefit is proximity to Mildrord Sound so breaks the drive and means we got there ahead of the tour groups the next morning.

Beautiful location.
Drop toilets.
Nice walks in the area.
We camped right by the river. As usual, someone came in late and parked right next to us, invading our personal space, when there were literally acres of available sites to choose from. Please don’t do this!!!
