Lakeside South (Forest) Sites

Set on the Lake South side of Tiona, the Forest Sites offer a calm, nature-immersed camping experience framed by towering palms and soft glimpses of Wallis Lake through the trees. Designed for small vans and camper vans up to 6 metres (including hitch), these powered sites are ideal for travellers seeking a relaxed, well-connected base close to park facilities and natural attractions. Wake to birdsong drifting through the canopy and spend your days moving gently between the pool, amenities, and nearby walking paths that lead through to the iconic Green Cathedral. Here, nature sets the pace, inviting you to slow down and settle into the rhythm of the landscape. Each site includes power and water, with a practical layout suited to easy setup and unhurried living. Fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully positioned within the environment, the Forest Sites are perfect for couples, solo travellers, or small van setups looking to reconnect with nature in a grounded, relaxed way. With space for one car and trailer, these sites offer a simple, restorative stay where the forest surrounds you, the lake is never far away, and life naturally feels lighter. Tiona is naturally split into two distinct precincts — Beachside and Lakeside — divided by the main coastal road. While this precinct sits closer to the main coastal road that connects the two sides of the park, it remains well-positioned base for guests who want easy access to both lake and beach experiences while staying surrounded by greenery.
