Sylvan Campsite
Sylvan Campsite
Sylvan Campsite sits beside the Routeburn River within Mount Aspiring National Park, near Glenorchy in the Otago region. The DOC-managed site offers 24 non-powered and tent sites, with well-spaced, flat ground and mountain views.
Fires are not permitted, and water is unavailable from the tank in winter. The campsite serves as a convenient base for day walks and the start of the Routeburn Great Walk, one of New Zealand's Great Walks.
A swing bridge at the campsite leads to the Lake Sylvan Track, a forest walk to a small lake surrounded by native beech. Fly fishing in the Routeburn River is also popular.
Advance bookings are recommended, particularly from December through February and on public holiday weekends.
