Gather At The Camp.

Gather, relax and enjoy time together at The Camp*

The Camp, formerly The Lake Hawea Holiday Park, is your quintessential Kiwi camping experience. The Camp is beautifully basic and authentic which is why it 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.  

Recently, The Camp has earned the prestigious Sustainable Qualmark Gold accreditation, so you can rest assured you are staying at one of New Zealand’s best regenerative and sustainable tourism destinations!

We’re excited to see you all soon.
