About this campground
Welcome to Happy Daze! We have 1 space for a small campervan, car or van (we are not a campsite but a private backyard) Come and relax in a lovely, native tree lined private property with an abundance of bird life. While you're here you will see some lovely scenery and experience our wonderful surroundings. Star gazing is fantastic on a clear night. We are 40mins from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and 30mins from Taupo airport. We have a quiet 1/2 acre property with lake and river access. There is a bathroom with shower, washing machine, toilet and sink. A small kitchenette & dining room, with a fridge, microwave/convection oven, hotplate, kettle & toaster.

A patio with an outside bench & sink, a bbq & chimenea. All water on site is fully filtered from our natural bore. A small part of our property has no cellphone reception but the majority of the area has ok service. Starlink Wifi is available & the code is in the bathroom and the kitchen. We have two teenagers, 2 chickens and a friendly cat on the property. (Boots the cat will get in your van) We are social hosts and like to meet, greet, chat and tell you about this beautiful area. We also host people in our barrel cabin, so you could be sharing the bathroom & kitchenette area. Our rates are $50 per night for a powered site for 2 people. Our top 3 destinations nearby are the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Whakapapa- Mt Ruapehu ski field & DOC walks and Lake Taupo where you can swim, kayak & fish etc. It is a 2 min short walk from the back of our property to the river and lake. There are mountain bike tracks and short bush walks nearby. If you are looking for a chance to relax and stay somewhere quiet & peaceful rather than the big camper parks then this is the place for you! We can offer a personal experience providing you with information you may need for the Tongariro Crossing or other adventures to do in this beautiful area. We look forward to meeting you. Zoe & Ryan
