Aorere Shelter campsite | Heaphy Track, Kahurangi National Park

Aorere Shelter campsite is one of those common DOC Heaphy Track campsites which aren’t horizontal, as usually defined. Still, you can’t have everything.

At least there’s a picnic table and a shelter there, ie, a three-sided structure with a roof and no door.
