Overview

Rotorua Blue Lake TOP 10 is a Superior TOP 10 park on Tarawera Road, beside Lake Tikitapu, better known as the Blue Lake. It's about 10 minutes' drive from Rotorua city, close to Whakarewarewa Forest (the Redwoods).

It suits people who want a lake and forest setting rather than staying in town, while keeping the city's geothermal attractions within a short drive.

Ways to stay

Choose from camping sites, safari glamping tents, cabins, motels and apartments. TOP 10's safari tents are on insulated decks, with a queen bed plus bunks for up to 4–5 people. See our glamping guide.

Who it suits

  • Mountain bikers and walkers heading to the Redwoods trails
  • Families, with a playground, jumping pillow and spa on site
  • Campervans, which can use the on-site dump station
