White Horse Hill Campground sits 2. 5 kilometres from Aoraki/Mount Cook Village at the end of Hooker Valley Road, within Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.

It is a popular base for both tent campers and self-contained campervans, offering dramatic views of Mount Sefton and the surrounding peaks, along with the sounds of glacial avalanches.

The campground serves as a direct trailhead for several of the park's best-known routes. The Hooker Valley Track heads east past Freda's Rock, an Alpine Memorial, and Mueller Lake Lookout before reaching an iceberg-filled lake beneath Mount Cook.

Steeper options from the same starting point include the climb to Sealy Tarns and the renowned Mueller Hut. Kea Point is also an easy walk in the opposite direction. Facilities are basic, including pit toilets, a cooking shelter, and limited rubbish disposal.

The campground is managed by the Department of Conservation and advance booking is recommended.
