Running beside the hydro canal network near Lake Pukaki, this freedom camping zone offers expansive gravel parking with uninterrupted views of Mount Cook and surrounding peaks.

The area is undeveloped and suitable only for self contained vehicles. No facilities are available.

Morning light conditions create world class alpine photography opportunities. Calm weather often produces mirror reflections across the canal water.

For campervan travellers, this site works best as a sunrise focused overnight stop.

Pukaki Canal Road offers unmatched visual impact for minimalist alpine camping.
