Lake Tarawera Outlet Campsite
Lake Tarawera Outlet Campsite
Lake Tarawera Outlet Campsite (Te Tapahoro) is a Department of Conservation conservation campsite set within Lake Tarawera Scenic Reserve on the eastern arm of Lake Tarawera, Bay of Plenty.
The surrounding forest, dominated by pohutukawa, rata, and their hybrids, regenerated after the 1886 eruption of Mt. Tarawera and is home to tomtits, fantails, and kererū.
Trout fishing is popular in the area, and the upper Tarawera River is noted for world-class kayaking rapids.
Access is by foot via DOC tracks — including the Tarawera Outlet to Falls Track and the Northern Tarawera Track, which are linked to the campsite by a bridge — or by boat from the lake.
Road access through the privately owned forestry road is not permitted, and overnight parking at Tarawera Falls Carpark is not allowed. Fires are prohibited at all times. Bookings are made through DOC.
