Very spacious, secluded camping ground.

Only three other vehicles were there with us but because of the smart layout of the place it really felt like we were the only ones there. The toilets are located by the lake and are very clean, flush, and are equipped with soap and light. The views are stunning both from the camping area and the lake. Picnic tables in camping area and by the lake.

Best thing to do in Auckland, impressive landscape and great views.

I'd recommend taking the coastal walkway and make your way back via summit road, lava caves and the summit (in that order) to avoid most of the crowds.

Beautiful hike.

Go up early to avoid the crowds. Great view over the Queenstown area and lake on one side and southern alpes on the other side. The way up is demanding for sure but not overly hard.

The Tasman glacier lake looks so surreal, almost like from another planet - I'm really glad we made this spontaneous stop.

It's only a few minutes walk up to the viewpoint, so it's doable even after a long day in the Mt. Cook area.

If you want to get the most out of your trip to Milford you should stay here.

Campground was busy on a weekend in December but clean and beautiful. Contrary to other reviews we didn't have to queue for kitchen space or showers.

Plan a whole day for the drive to Milford and stop often along the way. Get to the camp site in the late afternoon and explore Milford Sound after all the day tourists have left then do the first cruise of the day the next morning.

Simply the best, best, BEST!

Feels like the middle of nowhere, right next to the lake, a perfect place to unwind and relax. Great views all around and plenty of space (we were there on a Sunday in December along with only a handful of other campers). Clean flush toilets that looked pretty new. Sheltered sink to do the dishes. Campsites like this one are what made us fall in love with NZ.

One of our favorite spots on the south island.

Close to the highway but very sheltered from the road. Overlooking the lake and My. Cook, a perfect place for a scenic and refreshing swim. Brilliant night sky. Coming early for a good spot is a must as it gets overcrowded towards the late afternoon. 4 new long drops which were very clean but of course began to smell in the evening as so many people were using them.

Perfect spot after a long, hot day of hiking at Mt.

Cook. The individual bathroom cabins are the obvious highlight but even without them this place would be a gem: Sites are separated by bushes and trees for privacy, the laundry is good and there's a lot of space to air dry clothes, kitchen was clean and very well equipped. Overall a very cute layout. The only let down was the close proximity to the road but even that wasn't so bad.

Well worth a stop eben if you aren't into bouldering/rock climbing.

Exploring the unique landscape was great fun. The big boulders are only 5 min from the parking lot but you can easily spend an hour walking around and through them.

This camp site didn't seem like much at first sight however, the hosts are very friendly and their passion for the place shows in the state of the facilities.

Kitchen and lounge area are very cozy and well equipped ( the only thing missing is an actual stove/cooking spot but if you can cook in your camper you're golden). Bathrooms are on the older site but we'll maintained and very clean. They even have a washer. It is very close to the highway and railroad but noises weren't a problem inside our van.
