Lake Taupo camping with distinct lakefront, lakeside and hillside pitches, including designated dog-friendly hillside areas.

Choose how close to the lake

Motutere Bay TOP 10 is on State Highway 1 between Taupo and Turangi. Its site categories separate the lakefront row, the next lakeside row and the hillside area. That distinction matters when comparing photographs or prices: a hillside booking is not a waterfront pitch, even where it has a view across the lake.

Pets belong in designated areas

Lakefront powered sites accommodate tents, caravans and campervans, with shared kitchens, showers, toilets and laundry nearby. The park explicitly excludes pets from lakefront sites and offers specific dog-friendly hillside categories instead. Furnished glamping domes form a separate accommodation choice and should not be confused with a bring-your-own-tent site. Select the area and equipment type before comparing availability.

Check current site availability, arrival instructions and the full quote with Motutere Bay (Lake Taupō) TOP 10 Holiday Park before travelling.
