Walker Creek Campsite

Walker Creek Campsite is a small DOC conservation campsite situated beside the Eglinton River in Fiordland National Park, roughly 47–49 km north of Te Anau along the Milford Road.

It offers five unpowered tent sites in a sheltered riverside setting, making it a popular overnight stop for travellers heading to Milford Sound. Facilities are basic, including non-flush toilets and picnic tables, with fire pits available at some sites.

No treated water is on tap, but water can be collected and treated from the river. Fires are permitted in designated fireplaces when no fire ban is in effect. Dogs are not allowed.

Bookings are required and can be made through DOC; the DOC Campsite Pass is accepted here.
