We stayed in Eglington Valley camp for three nights, which was great! Away from the buzz in Te Anau, and a relatively short driving distance to Milford Sound. The rooms are nice and cosy, and the kitchen includes the necessities needed.

Wonderful stay in tent in the middle of nature. Only sound of silence, one sheep around eating lemon tree leaves :) unforgetfull time with delicious dinners prepared by Camilla. We loved the trip where we found mussels deep in pure Tasman see. Thanks for showing us this diving experience and at the end of day also cooked mussels with butter and beer souce. We recommend this glamping place. You will not regret. Thanks for everything.

The lake cabin was amazing. Very little price for a great view:) The bathroom are a bit far from the room, so keep in mind if it is an issue for you, but we loved the place. It is easier with a car to park close so you can keep your main belongings in there as the room is tiny. Overall I would 100% come back!

We had a good stay in the park! We were ina. Self contained cabin, which came with most things you needed. Someway to make coffee (besides instant) would be a plus. The cabin was a bit worn but overall enjoyable. It's close to town centre with a short walk and right by the water. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It looks like there are lots of options for camping, campers, small and larger units.

Beautiful tent and interior. The campsite outside was also beautiful and our only sorrow is that it was raining too much to enjoy the campfire. The location is beautiful. Small trek to bathrooms and showers but there is a portaloo right nearby the tents.
