Upper Eglinton Campsite

Upper Eglinton Campsite is a small DOC Standard campsite set in Fiordland National Park, roughly 68 km north of Te Anau along Milford Road (SH94).

The site sits in an open valley beside the West Branch of the Eglinton River, offering sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Access is via a gravel road off Milford Road — a tight turn that makes it unsuitable for larger vehicles.

The campsite has a handful of unpowered tent sites with basic facilities. Fly fishing in the river is a popular draw, and nearby walking and tramping tracks, including the Earl Mountain Tracks, provide further exploration.

Fires are permitted only in designated fire places and subject to any active fire bans. Dogs are not allowed.
