Angelus Hut Campsite

Angelus Hut Campsite sits on the shore of Rotomaninitua / Lake Angelus within Nelson Lakes National Park, perched in an alpine basin at around 1,600 metres.

It is one of the more dramatic campsites in New Zealand's South Island, surrounded by tussock slopes and rocky peaks. Campers may use the adjacent Angelus Hut's water supply and toilets.

Fees apply per night, with reduced rates for children and free entry for infants. Bookings are managed through DOC.

Visitors should follow strict biosecurity protocols before entering the area — all gear must be completely dry for 48 hours before coming into contact with the lake or any nearby tarns, to prevent the spread of aquatic pests.

Four routes provide access to the lake, including the popular Robert Ridge Track from St Arnaud.
