The Camp, formerly The Lake Hawea Holiday Park, has been a popular destination for campers, tourists and adventurers since 1971.
Close to the resort towns of Wanaka and Queenstown, The Camp has a wide range of accommodation options, good facilities and plenty of activities to suit couples, families or groups.
*We aim to keep The Camp a safe, fun, environmentally responsible and enjoyable place for all. Check out our FAQ’s or contact us if you have specific questions.
Our tent sites are the real deal as you get to choose where you would like to go. So you can choose to be near the lake, in the woodland area, under the shade or out in the sun. Once you had set up you will be able to explore or just hang at your site.
Choose a stunning lake vista or a more private setting a couple of rows back. We have powered sites for vans, campervans and caravans to pull up, plug in and relax.
A traditional favourite for many campers, these cabins are a great option for those seeking a basic, yet private sleeping solution. Facilities are communal.
Perched on the edge Lake Hawea, the Lakeside cabin, now known for being a honeymooner’s paradise, was once the Directors Office on the movie Vertical Limit. Modestly appointed but with the best views in the park, it is a stay not to be missed.
