Abel Tasman Coastal Track huts and campsites
The Anchorage Hut is 5 star accommodation. The others aren’t so bad either, it’s just that for much of the summer they are at capacity and that’s some crowd. You need earplugs to block out the ongoing activities, whether a whole lot of late-night laughing and hi jinks or some early morning plastic bag rustling.
The weather in Abel Tasman National Park is as benign as New Zealand offers, most of the time, and camping is a great option, particularly at the smaller, beachside, camping areas: Te Puketea Bay, Mutton Cove, etc. The bigger campsites: Anchorage, Bark Bay, Totaranui, offer more facilities: kitchen shelters, flush toilets, fireplaces with dry firewood supply, and the potential for a lot of close companionship over the summer.
Tonga Quarry has been permanently closed after substantial recent storm damage.
