Pleasant Flat Campsite

Pleasant Flat Campsite is a DOC-managed campground within Mount Aspiring National Park, situated beside State Highway 6 approximately 45 km east of Haast.

The large, grassy site sits sheltered among the mountains along the Haast River, offering views of Mount Hooker and access to fishing, short walks, and picnicking.

Information boards covering local flora and fauna are on site, and facilities are wheelchair accessible. Open fires are strictly prohibited at all times. No dogs are permitted.

The campsite is bookable year-round, with sealed road access making it an easy stop on the Haast Pass route between the West Coast and Wānaka. Visitors should come well prepared for sandflies, which are notoriously persistent in this area.
