What to Bring to an ACC Hut

ACC huts are well-equipped for cooking and sleeping, but you'll need to bring your own bedding, food, and a few essentials. Use this list as a starting point and check your hut's dedicated page for hut-specific notes.

Hut access and maintenance:

• Your ACC booking invoice (it has the lock combination)
• Toilet paper
• Garbage bags — for packing out all your garbage

Sleeping:
