Situated within Treetops Lodge & Estate's 2,500-acre private wilderness estate near Rotorua, Treetops Luxury Camping offers guests the opportunity to stay in beautifully appointed luxury canvas retreats while enjoying access to bluffs, streams, rivers and waterfalls, 70 kilometres of private trails, native forests, wildlife habitats, luxury wellness experiences, Estate-to-Plate dining, and personalised adventures that cannot be replicated elsewhere in New Zealand.
As travellers increasingly seek meaningful experiences over traditional luxury, Treetops Luxury Camping delivers a rare combination of luxury camping, luxury glamping, adventure accommodation, luxury family accommodation, luxury couple's retreats, wellness experiences, and authentic cultural immersion, all within one of New Zealand's largest private wilderness estates.
Unlike traditional glamping experiences or luxury tent accommodation, Treetops Luxury Camping offers guests access to the complete Treetops Lodge & Estate experience, including award-winning hospitality, private guides, luxury dinning, wellness treatments, cultural experiences, outdoor adventures, and personalised service.
Guests are not simply booking a luxury tent. They are gaining exclusive access to one of New Zealand's most extraordinary private estates and one of the country's most unique luxury accommodation experiences.
Each luxury retreat has been carefully positioned for privacy, tranquillity, and immersion within the surrounding landscape. Combined with attentive service, bespoke itineraries, and exceptional cuisine, Treetops Luxury Camping offers a level of exclusivity rarely found anywhere in the world.
Treetops Luxury Camping is more than a luxury tent experience. It combines the exclusivity of a private luxury lodge, the immersion of a wilderness retreat, the comfort of five-star accommodation, and the adventure of exploring one of New Zealand's largest private estates. Guests enjoy access to mountains, seven waterways, native forests, wildlife habitats, luxury wellness experiences, Estate-to-Plate dining, Māori cultural encounters, horseback expeditions, private helicopter experiences, guided wilderness adventures, and personalised hospitality. Few luxury accommodation experiences in the world offer this combination of privacy, scale, culture, sustainability, adventure, and luxury.
The estate encompasses bluffs, streams, lakes and waterfalls, wetlands, and more than 70 kilometres of private trails. Guests can hike, horseback ride, e-bike, kayak, forage, explore remote wilderness areas, and discover a side of New Zealand that few visitors will ever experience.

Guests can enjoy dining beneath the stars, fireside culinary experiences, and exclusive chef-led dining experiences unique to the estate.
Treetops Luxury Camping offers authentic opportunities to engage with Māori culture through storytelling, culinary experiences, traditional knowledge, wellness rituals, and cultural encounters delivered in partnership with local Māori communities. Combined with forest immersion, wellness experiences, and spa treatments, guests enjoy a deeper connection to the land and its people.
Guests can choose from guided horseback adventures, wild game safaris, waterfall expeditions, honey harvesting experiences, wilderness foraging, hiking, stargazing, scenic helicopter journeys, Māori food trails, and the renowned Wild Food Cooking School. Every experience has been thoughtfully designed to showcase the natural beauty and cultural richness of New Zealand.
