Tramline campsite | Tin Range, Stewart Island

Two possible locations here, the expansive clearing upstream at the Tramline campsite, or a more compact and sheltered site where old stone rings hint that others have previously camped.

The biggest campsite in the Tin Range, but not so well located, close to the southern end of the route. The campsite 200 m away at the dam is more sheltered and actually grassy.
