Camping Options:
At the start of your trip there is a DOC campsite next to Lake Gunn so this would be a great place to camp the night before your trip.
At the mouth of Melita Stream there is a nice spot for a tent or two and you could camp on the saddle (1309) or in the head of Melita Stream or in the head of Falls Creek.
