    Booking a hut on the Milford Track is set to be just under a three-figure fee

    Booking a hut on the Milford Track is set to be just under a three-figure fee


    The Department of Conservation is raising all Great Walk huts and campsite prices by 18 percent from July.

    Paparoa will increase by six percent.

    It means a hut on the Milford Track will be 92-dollars in peak season, while camping on the Abel Tasman is 19-dollars.

    Backpacker Youth Adventure Tourism Association chair Haydn Marriner says there are still gaps in the funding.

    He says people are only paying for certain DOC facilities - as things like walking the Tongariro Crossing is free.
