Between Taupo and Acacia Bay

Great Lake Holiday Park is on Acacia Bay Road, with trees and neighbouring farmland shaping the setting. Despite the name, it is not a lakefront campground. It offers a base between Taupo and Acacia Bay for travellers who plan separate outings to the water, rather than expecting a beach immediately beyond their pitch.

Prepare for a kiosk arrival

The operator uses self-service kiosk check-in from the afternoon. Powered pitches with water connections accept tents, caravans and motorhomes, while unpowered spaces suit tents and smaller vans. Shared kitchen, hot showers and laundry are listed. Dogs are restricted to eligible off-peak stays and cats are excluded, so check the dates and animal policy before choosing this as a pet-friendly overnight stop.

Check current site availability, arrival instructions and the full quote with Great Lake Holiday Park before travelling.
