Andrews Shelter Campsite
Andrews Shelter Campsite
Andrews Shelter Campsite is a free, basic DOC campsite situated along the Waimakariri River within Arthur's Pass National Park, Canterbury.
It is reached by following State Highway 73 and then travelling approximately 5 km along Mount White Road, a gravel road, with the campsite located just past a white bridge.
The setting is flat, making it suitable for tents or sleeping in a vehicle, and morning views across the river valley are a highlight. Facilities are minimal — a toilet is on site but running water is not guaranteed. Fires are not permitted at any time.
Visitors should be aware that sandflies are common, and wasp populations can be high between January and March; light-coloured clothing and antihistamine are recommended precautions. In winter, snow may make access difficult.
Spaces are limited, so arriving early is advisable.
