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.
