Upper Eglinton Campsite

Upper Eglinton Campsite is a small DOC conservation campsite situated along the Milford Road (SH94) in Fiordland National Park, roughly 68–71 km north of Te Anau.

The access road is gravel and the entrance is a tight turn, making it unsuitable for larger vehicles.

The site offers five non-powered tent sites alongside basic facilities including a toilet, picnic table, and designated fire pits where fires are permitted when no ban is in effect.

The setting delivers spectacular views up the Eglinton Valley, and the adjacent West Branch of the Eglinton River is a noted fly-fishing destination. Walking and tramping tracks, including the Earl Mountain Tracks, are accessible nearby.

Bookings are handled online through DOC and a DOC Campsite Pass is accepted.
