About Us
Your Gateway to Taupō's Greatest Adventures
Taupō is smack bang in the middle of the North Island—which means Great Lake Holiday Park is perfectly placed for all the adventures you can cram into one holiday. Ski fields, Huka Falls, geothermal valleys, hot springs... we're close to everything worth seeing (and soaking in!).
Our team knows all the best spots and love sharing their local secrets. And after a big day out, you'll love coming back to our peaceful patch between Taupō Central and Acacia Bay—surrounded by trees, farmland, and good vibes. With a range of cabins, campsites, and facilities, there's something for everyone.
Your adventure starts here.

From snug cabins to spacious campsites—find the perfect stay for your Taupō adventure. Whatever your style, we've got you covered.
Cabins
Campsites
Deluxe Cabin
Let's be honest—not everyone loves sleeping on the ground. Our Deluxe Cabins give you all the beauty of the great outdoors, with the comforts you actually want. Think: your own private toilet and hand basin (goodbye 2am torch-lit treks!), a heater for chilly winter nights, a fan for those balmy summer days, and a TV for when the kids (or you) need a wind-down. It's camping, just with a roof, a real bed, and a whole lot less stress.
Price Per Night
$98
Standard Cabin
Our Standard Cabins are all about keeping it simple. You get a cosy room with a heater for chilly nights, a fan for those summer scorchers, and a TV for lazy mornings or rainy afternoons. The amenities block is just a short stroll away (we promise it's clean and well-lit!), and you'll save a few dollars to spend on Taupō's epic adventures. It's camping, upgraded.
Price Per Night
$80
Powered Campsite
Let's face it—nobody likes squeezing into a tiny site with no shade. Our powered campsites are generously sized (seriously, you'll have room to spare!), dotted with beautiful mature trees for that perfect afternoon shade, and come with power and water right at your site. Whether you're rolling in with a caravan, a campervan, or a big family tent, you'll have plenty of space to spread out, relax, and enjoy the great outdoors—without being on top of your neighbours. It's camping the way it should be.
Price Per Night
$44
Non-Powered Campsite
Our unpowered sites are perfect for tents and smaller vans, offering generously sized spots with plenty of room to spread out. Fresh water is never far away (just a short stroll to the nearest tap). It's back-to-basics camping, but with more space and a whole lot less stress. Perfect for the purists, the budget-conscious, or anyone who just loves sleeping under the stars.
Price Per Night

Guest Reviews
We came with our holiday camper and were allocated a beautiful spacious spot with a picnic table next to it by some stunning old trees. The receptionist was extremely friendly and helpful and even offered us a couple of free feijoas from the campground hedges or some apples. We felt truly welcomed. The site is extremely well-run, clean and tidy yet not stuffy. The showers are hot and powerful. Highly recommended!
Great park to stay. Nice big caravan sites for a change with plenty of room for reversing and maneuvering long rigs. Enjoyed the close proximity to all the well maintained facilities and I was lucky to have a tap on my site to connect straight to the van - magic!
A lovely place to camp, handy spot and great facilities. Receptionist was very helpful in helping us sort postage when we left behind an item. Highly recommend.
I spent a night camping at the Great Lake Holiday Park in Taupō, and it was a fantastic experience. Despite my late arrival and the park being fully booked, the owner and her team went out of their way to find me a spot. I was really impressed by how clean and well-maintained all the facilities were.
Nicely equipped site within walking distance (approx 30 mins) of Taupō centre. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Free WiFi (not limited to one device) and good signal. Very quiet. Showers and toilets were clean. Nice lounge area with good books to read.
Had a great Waitangi weekend camping here.
Power Site 11 was more than big enough to fit our needs. The camp ground wasn't over populated like a lot of the big name Camp grounds. The kitchen and bathroom are fairly basic but were clean and very usable. We will definitely be back.
