Located between the start and finish points of the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Tongariro Holiday Park features a hot tub, barbecue facilities and rooms with either a balcony or a patio.

The holiday park is a 13-minute drive from Tongariro National Park and a 20-minute drive from Turangi Town Centre. You can't beat the location for doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, while also having easy access to Taupo and Whakapapa if you have a car. Amazing stargazing just outside the camp if you have clear nights. The room was comfortable and clean - what you would expect from a holiday park setting - and the shared kitchen is functional if a bit small for the number of people staying.
