Lakes Edge Holiday Park

Here’s a cleaner, more polished version that keeps your voice and experience intact, suitable for a review or social post: This was our very first campervan stop, and overall it set a really solid standard for the rest of our trip. Check-in was seamless, and we booked a powered site that was nicely paved, clean, and well laid out. The common areas were straightforward, tidy, and well maintained, which we really appreciated. Showers were clean and included (no extra charges), and WiFi was available too, which was a bonus. In terms of overall class and facilities, I’d rank this park number 2 on our campervan journey. Driftaway in Frankton, Queenstown still holds the top spot for us, but Tekapo Holiday Park comes very close. Location-wise, this place is excellent. It faces the lake and has very easy access, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a solid 4.5-star experience for me and my partner. That said, here’s an important lesson learned the hard way. When we tried to return, the park was fully booked, so we parked closer to the beach where there was a “No Camping” sign. Early the next morning, council officers knocked on our door and we were issued a NZD400 fine. Word of advice to fellow campervan travelers: always use Campmate to find proper freedom camping spots or book paid sites. It’s absolutely not worth risking a fine. Lesson learned. If you want, I can also shorten this into a Google review version, an Instagram caption, or make it sound more casual or more professional.

Exceptional. We booked two days before during the busy new years period (05/07 for two nights) and got a tent site right at the end, adjacent to the lake ! Great toilets and kitchen, with washing detergent always available how good?! It's the little things when camping and travelling; and this was the 3rd holiday park we had tried on our trip. Cheap too - we paid 64 NZD per night (we were two people). Rabbits everywhere and more active at night ; quite cute and my fiancée loved them.

This was one of the best holiday parks we stayed in during our motorhome tour of the North and South Islands of NZ. Almost all of the sites had views of the magnificent lake. The cabins looked nice too. One of the bathrooms had been refurbished and it was spectacular. The second bathroom area was more basic, normal facilities but both were exceptionally clean. The kitchen was very good and in close proximity to the BBQs on the lake. In front of the BBQ area were plenty of wooden tables, chairs and lounges to sit and eat with a view of the lake. Good laundry facilities that take cards rather than coins. Close to the town. Friendly staff. Just a great place to stay.

We booked a powered gravel site and got a really nice lake view. The showers were great (10 minutes limit) and the laundry facilities work with card, not coins. An eye-opener 😄

Gorgeous campsite, so peaceful and the views were just breathtaking. The staff were so nice and helpful too. Knocked off a star for two reasons; first being that the showers only have 2 temperatures, freezing cold and scalding hot, which was pretty uncomfortable. Second being that the kitchens aren’t well kitted out at all, so if your camper isn’t very well-equipped with cooking utensils etc and you use camp kitchens, I wouldn’t stay here. All in all though, it was an absolutely beautiful place to spend a night

The view is amazing from the picnic table in front of our motel room #5. Many nearby campers feel the same way and use it frequently. It would help if there was a sign indicating the table is reserved for room # 5.

Great location, well equiped and well maintained facilities. We were lucky to have a hill top location with almost uninterrupted view to the lake. Great for star gazing and photography. However there is a small issue with rabbits. Poop all over the site it’s unpleasant with swarms of flies during summer which is a nuisance.

We stayed for 1 night at Lake Edge Holiday Park for NZD $ 106 on a Powered Front Row Site and it was such a pleasant stay. The location is unbeatable — just a 5-minute walk to Tekapo Springs, where you can relax in the hot pools, The views from the park are absolutely beautiful, especially in the morning when the sun rises over Lake Tekapo, truly picture perfect! The facilities at Lake Edge Holiday Park were excellent. Each powered site includes power, dump station access, Wi-Fi, and an 8-minute hot shower. The kitchen area was clean and well-equipped, making it convenient to prepare simple meals. There are toilets and laundry facilities nearby and everything was well-maintained. Families will also love the playground and TV room, great for kids to unwind after a day of exploring. Overall, Lake Edge Holiday Park is a perfect stop for campers or motorhome travelers who want comfort, convenience and great views at a reasonable price. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lake Tekapo — an ideal spot for both relaxation and adventure.
