Welcome to Blue Lake Top 10 Holiday Park

Welcome to Blue Lake Top 10 Holiday Park Rotorua - Rotorua's only Top 10 Holiday Park located on the picturesque and stunning Blue Lake offering quality accommodation from motels to camping sites.

Nestled on the edge of the beautiful Rotorua's Blue Lake, Blue Lake Top 10 Holiday Park Rotorua has over 14 acres of well-maintained grounds set in a tranquil native bush setting. Blue Lake Top 10 has been awarded a Qualmark ENVIRO GOLD award for Environmental practices.

Our Rotorua holiday park is located a short 10 minute drive from the centre of Rotorua, offering the best of both worlds - close to attractions and shops, yet removed from the bustling city environment.

Blue Lake Top 10 Holiday Park Rotorua is conveniently located to take advantage of surrounding lakes Okareka, Tarawera and Tikitapu (Blue Lake). The Blue Lake area also hosts a number of NZ sporting events throughout the year, so be sure to book early and get close to the action! There are great boating and watersport opportunities close at hand, whether it's waterskiing, kayaking, dragon boat racing, fishing, jet skiing, swimming or simply relaxing. Blue Lake hosts the annual Rotorua Xterra event.

    Short distance from Rotorua.

    Very beautiful spot near Blue Lake, we went in the water, but it was pretty cold. Large campground with everything we needed. Two playgrounds, clean and spacious kitchen, clean and heated (in October) facilities.

    Great campsite on a lake by forests, friendly staff.

    Unfortunately although they advertise kayak hire and mountain bike hire, it’s not true. So you can’t explore the lake by kayak or enjoy the numerous mountain bike trails from the site - and that’s mainly why we went. And it’s not on lake Rotorura, it’s a smaller lake to the south.

    On a sunny day, it’s well worth the fee.

    Popped In Tues 1 Feb to have a look around prior to a prospective stay.

    Asked to pay $5 each to view the Park.

    Said no immediately as this is the worst of worst in public relations.

    All our camping friends totally agree with our stance.

    Very big campsite.

    Helpfull desk, explained the membership (we took cause of the ferrydiscount), suggested walks and booked our Maori-experience for us. It was our first campsite so we played it safe. Very clean facilities. A bit expensive and touristy in hindsight but then it's a holidaypark and you know what to expect from a chain. Nice walk around the blue lake which is also a watersport and swim-lake.

    For a Top10 camping, the facilities were pretty basic.

    There are hot showers but only limited to 5min.

    I recommend not to chose this camping because of the name, the lake is on the other side of a road and not that pretty.

    Nice location and pitches, but that is about it.

    We were told the wrong price over the phone, so not a good start when we turned up. Everything else was just a bit of a pain - nice clean kitchen but NOTHING out, you have to go ask reception for everything - ridiculous! Unless you are a Top10 member you got no WiFi. Also be aware some networks will have no signal here either! Showers etc all nice and clean, did spot a vehicle wash area on way out too. They just need to ease up on some silly policies.

    Very rude management which makes it a very unpleasant place to stay.

    Said I was very disappointed as we always choose to stay here, and owner replied, so do thousands of others. Obviously return customers are not highly regarded. Very noisy at night and early morning on weekends. I would never stay here again and would definitely not recommend here to anyone. There are quite a few holiday parks to chose from so avoid this one.

    We had a great stay here.

    The facilities were always clean and tidy and the staff helpful. The location is excellent, far enough away from town to enjoy the quiet of the lake and surrounding bush, but close enough that all the attractions and services of town are accessible. We will definitely be back.

    HI Folks,

    The BBQ was good. Of course the price is expected for a Top 10 holiday park. The location wasn't very spectacular. The lakes have not been as attractive as expected. We used the place after a day in Rainbow springs and headed further south after a good night sleep.

    Cheers
