Port William campsite | Rakiura National Park, Stewart Island
The official Port William campsite has six grassy camping sites two minutes walk from the Port William Hut, set in a, mostly, sheltered spot near the beach.
The shelter provides some, err, shelter from Stewart Island’s often inclement weather with a place to cook — bring your own cooking gear — and short bench seat, no table otherwise. For some reason, the site doesn’t seem too flat but you’ll find plenty of space for your tent.
