Avalanche Creek Shelter Campsite sits within Arthur's Pass Village in Arthur's Pass National Park, Canterbury, directly across State Highway 73 from the DOC visitor centre.

The small site accommodates around 10 tents on a grassed area, with additional space for campervans, though no powered sites are available.

Its position between the road and railway yards means it can be noisier than more remote options in the park, and during winter the alpine setting may bring snow and difficult access.

A large day-use shelter adjacent to the campground features kitchen sinks, tables, benches, and counter space for stoves, though overnight sleeping inside is not permitted. Flush toilets and picnic tables are also on site.

Campfires are prohibited at all times, and dogs are not allowed. Bookings are managed through DOC, and the DOC Campsite Pass is accepted here. Visitors should note that the local kea population has a reputation for investigating unattended gear.
