To think, we only started staying at DOC campsites because they are cheap (or free in the case of the "basic" DOC campsites). There are about 10 DOC such campsites between Milford Sound and Te Anau and we camped at the first DOC campsite that we came to. This one just happened to be set in the loveliest location imaginable. We were lucky to get a space, too; in the few hours after we set up camp, a steady stream of campervans arrived, looking for a place to camp. The last few left, disappointed, and presumably ended up at the much less picturesque campsites further down the road.
Aside from a hoard of fellow campers, we also shared the campsite with more ferocious sandflies. And a family of ducks.
Quack quack!
