Luxmore Hut Wild Camping

Located near Luxmore Hut on the Kepler Track, this freedom camping spot is an informal, unofficial location with no facilities whatsoever.

It sits within an alpine zone characterized by exposed tussock plains, where flat, dry ground is scarce and conditions can change rapidly, bringing wind, rain, or snow.

New Zealand's Department of Conservation does not recommend freedom camping here due to the exposed terrain and lack of suitable ground. Those who do choose to camp in the area typically set up roughly 500 metres from the hut itself.

Campers should be well-equipped with a sturdy, weather-resistant tent and have solid backcountry experience before attempting an overnight stay in this challenging alpine environment.
