Klondyke Corner campsite | Arthurs Pass National Park

The Klondyke Corner campsite is a spread out camping area with some spaces near the shelter, that is in fact, fairly sheltered, although not actually in forest. Very close to the highway. Probably the best camping sites, more secluded, are back over the highway but they are a long way from water.

The shelter is basic, roof and plenty of half height walls, ie, an excess of ventilation, and some not quite comfortable benches.
