Holdens Bay Holiday Park is a no-fuss lakeside base on Lake Rotorua in New Zealand that works well if you have a tent, campervan or want a simple cabin. You can expect powered sites, basic cabins, hot showers, laundry and a communal kitchen, plus a small playground and barbeque areas, and easy access to the lake for swimming or fishing and likely a boat ramp. It sits only a short drive from central Rotorua, so you can be at geothermal parks, mountain biking and Maori cultural experiences within 10 to 15 minutes, but still enjoy quieter evenings by the water. Book ahead in summer and school holidays, check whether you need a powered site or lakeside pitch, and bring insect repellent and a warm layer for cool nights.
