We have the only truly lakefront caravan and camping sites on Lake Taupo. Why camp in the back blocks of town when you could fall asleep to the sound of the lake lapping outside your door? We have both powered and unpowered sites to suit your campervan, tent or caravan.
Lakeside Sites
These sites are still on the lake side of the holiday park, but in the second or third row behind our lakefront sites. It’s highly likely you will still have a view of the lake from your site, but not guaranteed. We have both powered and unpowered lakeside sites available.
Hillside Sites
If being on the water isn’t your style, or you want a bit more room to spread out, our hillside sites are perfect for you. Our property gradually slopes up the hillside so a number of our powered hillside sites have views over Lake Taupo. Our shady unpowered hillside sites are at the front of the park, close to the kitchen and amenities.
Features:
Unpowered grass camping sites
Lakefront sites available
Laundry with washing machines, dryers, washing tubs and ironing / folding facilities
3 x kitchens with fridge/freezer, toaster, electric jug, hotplates and washing up facilities
TV/recreation room
Fish cleaning room
Onsite store inc. gas, bait, ice and tackle
Dump Point
