Lake Taupo Holiday Resort

Reasonable price for a camping spot.Quite lots of activities for children as well. Nice temperature of the hot pool.i only capture facilities which is more important for us as a camper tent so we can be aware of what sort of facilities there are. All the facilities is so clean and tidy to use even the tent area.

Awesome place to bring your caravan. Yes slightly more expensive than most sites ….but it’s a resort! Powered sites a decent size with ground covers to prevent mud. An awesome place for young ones…. So much to do! Pool is amazing …. Drinks and food great and amenities clean and great also. Highly recommend treating yourself.

Pros; - recommend Villas or self contained unit for best comfort and convenience. - berry burst shakes were a hit with the kids. - movies twice a day for the kids and swim up bar worked fantastic. - recommend towel robes or oodie towels on pool exit. - lots of activities on site. - thanks to reviews, pre ordered kids activities online via kmart & saved tons. (Chalk, scentos packs, glow stick packs, pool noodles, goggles, ect..) - brought the kids bikes & scooters to help them get around and explore everything. Cons; - Aside from swimming, everything is extra $$. - on site store is crazy expensive. - morning swims could be earlier, every morning more families were waiting. - more check out options for earlier departures. Had to wait for office to open to return items for holding bonds to be returned. - language barrier with most staff.

Great place for families. Definitely feel like we had a great holiday. The heated pools are awesome fun, with movies in the pool twice a day during weekends and school holidays, and a swim up bar. Well run campsite. The nightly rate is worth it for the pools, we had a great time. Bring your own pool noodles as they're expensive to buy, and a hooded towel is helpful as you'll be walking to and from the pools a lot.

Amazing Matariki Weekend with friends at Lake Taupo Holiday Resort. We enjoy the premium sites on Park Lane as they are huge, easy access for large vans, vehicle parking and extra tents. Also close to showers, toilets, kitchen and laundry. Pool, cafe, bar were well staffed so there was minimal waiting. The park was really full being a long weekend but with lots of space and areas for kids to play it didn't feel crowded. We have been coming here for 10+ years and enjoy it every time.

Definitely pricey but the facilities are very good and we were glad we went. Excellent for families with kids, nice safe atmosphere, pools are great for water confidence and for keeping kids entertained for hours. We tented in autumn. It was very cold at night but the pools are always warm, the shared kitchen is quite small and I imagine in peak season you will struggle to use it at a convenient time but is ideal in the shoulder season. Same goes for showers and toilets. In March everything was cleaned and kept to a good standard

We were here the second time for our off season camping. Best spot in NZ for kids. Our daughter always makes friends here and full enjoys the clean and safe facilities. The Premium sites are the only ones we can put our big tent setup into one space without paying for 2 places. Absolutely love it. Staff are super friendly. FACILITIES are super clean. We are coming here regularly now

We had a best group winter holiday with 11 other families this week. The pump track was a hit, along with the lagoon pool and slides, plus the dirtbike track next door. The facilities were clean and lovely. The ONLY downside of the whole trip... was the half full glasses of Margarita for $20. Otherwise we love this place!

I only have two words for this place: pretty disappointed. Let me first say this: the place is spotless, clean, and almost sterile. If you want a "glamping" experience this is the place to go. There are freezers, fridges, stoves, ovens, toasters, microwaves, you name it! The bathrooms are fairly pristine, and the only thing that makes this camping is sleeping outdoors (unless you are in a cabin). They have swimming pools (although I never visited them) and even a "sky tv room." If you want to sleep outdoors, but have all the amenities of home I guess this is the place you should book. This was recommended by Wanderlust Great Lake Taupo for camping for Wanderlust, so when we booked in we asked for the Wanderlust rates. We later discovered that they didn't even give us the wanderlust rate! When we questioned this they said, "sorry, but we can't refund you." We also called in a few days before to change our booking, and then to found out that they had no record of our conversation and refused to refund us for the extra day they charged. To top that, the people at the front desk were extremely rude about it. My friend, who organised the whole thing, was pretty shaken up after talking to them (and let me say she is the most reasonable and sweetest person I know). What happened to customer service? The people that work the front desk were extremely rude and unhelpful. Safe to say that I will never book accommodation at Lake Taupo Top 10 Holiday Resort ever again!
