Perry Saddle Campsite

About this campsite

This is one of nine Great Walk campsites on the Heaphy Track. 

There are spectacular views out to the distant tooth-shaped peaks known as Dragons Teeth and Mt Olympus, and glimpses of the red tussock grasslands that the track crosses.

Take a dip in the deep but cold pool in Gorge Creek near the hut. Listen for great spotted kiwi at night.
