Aspiring Campsite

Aspiring Campsite is a backcountry DOC campsite situated outside Aspiring Hut on the West Branch of the Matukituki River, within Mount Aspiring National Park in the Otago region.

It operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with no advance booking required. Campers have access to toilets and an open-sided shelter but may not use the hut's facilities.

Fees are paid at the Tititea/Mount Aspiring Visitor Centre in Wānaka, as the campsite requires a NZAC campsite ticket.

The site sits at the hub of several major tramping routes, including the French Ridge, Liverpool, and Upper West Matukituki tracks, as well as the Cascade Saddle route. No dogs are permitted.
