Aorere Shelter Campsite

Aorere Shelter Campsite sits within Kahurangi National Park in New Zealand's Nelson/Tasman region, positioned along the renowned Heaphy Track.

It is one of nine Great Walk campsites on the track, located approximately four hours' walk from the track's start at Brown Hut and one hour from Perry Saddle Hut and campsite.

As a DOC Great Walk campsite, Aorere offers tap water, long-drop toilets stocked with toilet paper, and a shelter. Campers are not permitted to use nearby hut facilities.

During summer months, hut rangers patrol the area, checking bookings and providing information on track conditions and weather. Bookings are made online through the Department of Conservation.
