Totara Campsite
Totara Campsite
Totara Campsite is a DOC-managed site located along Milford Road, approximately 50–51 kilometres north of Te Anau within Fiordland National Park. It sits beside the Eglinton River in a wide, open field, sheltered from the highway by beech forest.
The setting near the Mirror Lakes makes it a scenic stop on the route to Milford Sound.
With around 20 unpowered sites, the campground suits a range of campers — from tenters enjoying the grassy flats to larger campervans and caravans that benefit from the open layout. Facilities are basic, including non-flush toilets and picnic tables.
Campfires are permitted in designated fireplaces, subject to any active fire bans. Water can be collected and treated from the river.
The site operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with fees payable at a self-registration stand, and the DOC Campsite Pass is accepted.
