Motutere Bay TOP 10
Holiday Park

Motutere Bay TOP 10 Holiday Park is the ONLY holiday park situated on the shores of the Great Lake Taupo. Nowhere else can you park your van or pitch your tent so close to the water’s edge! Due to the gentle slope of the park even the sites further from the water have great lake views. We even have cabins and self contained units for a little more comfort. The park is located about halfway between the townships of Taupo and Turangi making it the perfect base to explore the region. We are only 20 minutes’ drive from everything Taupo has to offer in summer, yet only 45 minutes from Whakapapa ski fields for your winter adventure! Whether you enjoy fishing, tramping, mountain biking, adventure, culture, snow sports or natural wonders we have you covered.

Unit met aparte slaapkamer. Alle comfort aanwezig. Voldoende wasmachines. Het park ligt aan een drukke weg zodat er... wel wat overlast is. De wifi ontvangst in onze unit was zo slecht zodat we naar buiten moesten gaan om te surfen. Park en unit waren proper. Vriendelijk personeel.read more

Beautiful place to camp by the lake. It is very private and tranquil. The floor was a bit hard, and our pitch was... sloped. We saw another couple give up after failing to get their pegs in the floor. However, the stunning view of the lake made up for the pitch and we enjoyed our stay.read more

Overall amazing experience & I can’t wait to come back again !Regarding the Noise. We did stay here while there were road works. It wasn’t too noisy. In fact it didn’t bother my family at all. trucks Go through & pass the road But if your there to have a good time then don’t let the truck drivers Work get in the way of that.They have a Mini shop inside the office with a lot of cheap items. Some are A bit over Priced from Paknsave or countdown Prices but that’s to be expected.My Parents & Grandparents stayed in The self contained units while we stayed on the lakefront camping. It isn’t a far walk & they enjoyed the scenery a lot ! I cannot wait to come back again.This holiday Park will forever be One that we will go back to yearly.read more

Can’t say enough good things about this place! We camped with our dog & loved it! Fantastic kitchen facilities - loads... of space, sinks & cooktops. It was super clean & well organised. Lovely bbq area. Clean toilet & shower blocks. Fab location obviously 😍 If you’re camping in a tent & you’re a light sleeper like me, I recommend you bring some ear plugs. The trucks going past at night kept me awake but earplugs sorted that out 😉 Really lovely, helpful staff too. Well done guys - we will be regulars!read more

The facilities are perfect, great showers, toilet block, kitchen, laundry and BBQ area.Absolutely love the lake front sites. Definitely my first choice. Even on a bad weather day, it's still a great outlook.As mentioned before, the atmosphere (vibe & hum) of the place has been excellent and so different to July with lots more family groups and tourists filling the place.Been really nice watching family groups spending quality time together, enjoying camping, water sports and fishing. So many life time memories made.Ngā mihi nui for having me this week, I have had a lovely relaxing week.

We didn't get to stay here (wish that's where we stayed, would have been so much better than the nearby Bach we... booked)We couldn't find where we were staying, driving up and down the state highway, so called in to the office. The 2 ladies were so lovely and helpful, even printing off a map.Once we found the place we decided we needed a wine and rang to see if they sold it. The lovely lady helped us out again, telling us where to purchase nearby.Totally recommend this lovely camping ground, the service is AAA plus, even though we didn't stay there.Much appreciatedread more

Facilities were so nice! Plenty of space for cooking and dishes. So clean. There were a few issues with the men's loos... while we were there but the team were working on it. Even though we booked a but last minute we had a great tenting spot with friendly neighbours. Yes the road is noisy, but it made for helpful white noise. Our kids slept well. Thankful to help ourselves to the extra kitchen supplies a couple of times. The shop is well stocked - especially even you forget the tomato sauce!We enjoyed the lake and a local bush walk.Would definitely visit again.read more

Nice little campsite overlooking the beautiful Lake Taupō. Good communication from the staff in the lead up to our... stay. Spacious facilities, we were often the only ones using the kitchen at times. Very clean and great strong hot showers. The only downfall of this whole place was our cabin was extremely cold!! Other than that, amazing stay and would recommend.read more

The location is excellent with a lovely view over the lake and some great local walks. It’s easy to find and the staff... are very friendly. The facilities are excellent and very very clean. We used the communal facilities to cook everyday and they were always spotless.We were in the standard cabin which was well equipped and just what we needed for a 2 day stay. Our only negative was that the room was very very cold in the evening even with the heating on and extra blanket. But other than this it was a fantastic stay and we would definitely come back.read more

We're happy to announce that 2023 Motutere Bay TOP 10 Holiday Park Family Fishing Competition tickets are now available.

If you have not attended our Fishing Competition before you can expect three days of fishing and fun whilst meeting new and old friends. There is a buzz in the air over the fishing competition weekend and this year we've moved the date to October so it'll be a bit warmer out there on the lake. 

As per previous years, we will host a catered presentation night and provide some musical entertainment for your enjoyment.

There are some fantastic prizes up for grabs this year including an AJ Hackett Bungy Jump and local attraction passes. You have to be in it, to win it, so call Grace or myself in reception and we'll hook you up with some tickets.
