Avalanche Creek Shelter Campsite

About this campsite

Avalanche Creek Campsite is a small site in Arthur’s Pass Village. It is mostly carpark with a relatively small grassed area for tents.

It is between the road and the railway yards so it is noisier (including overnight) when compared to the more remote campsites in Arthur’s Pass National Park.
