Milford Road: Te Anau to Milford Sound with a caravan or motorhome
The Milford Road runs 117 km from Te Anau to Milford Sound. With a car and caravan, you're looking at 2 h behind the wheel. Our map shows it sealed the whole way.
We planned it on Motocamp's own router for a car and caravan and for a motorhome, at the sizes in the table below, so every number here comes from a real plan, not a guess.
The stops: Te Anau · Milford Sound
Is the Milford Road OK for a car and caravan?
Yes, on our plan. It gets through for a car and caravan without using a road signed too low, too short or closed to caravans. Here's what to keep an eye on.
- 10 km of it is steeper than 8%. The steepest kilometre is about 14% downhill on Milford Sound Highway, at km 107.

Tell Motocamp what you drive, from an enduro bike to a motorhome, and it plans this trip for that vehicle: the roads it fits, the low bridges and closed roads to steer clear of, and places to stay on the way. The maps keep working where there's no signal.
