Oval Campground Self Contained Motorhomes & Caravans
The Taupo Horse Racing Club are thrilled to offer Self Contained Motorhome and Caravan sites for the upcoming 2024 ITM Taupō Super400.
THE OVAL CAMPGROUND
The Oval Campground is in the center of the Taupo Horse Racing Club [THRC]
track immediately djacent to Taupo International Motorsport facility and is
within walking distance (350m) to the 2024 ITM Taupo Super400.
We appreciate that many motorsports’ competitors and fans travel with their
caravan or motorhome0 and it’s an important part of the way people enjoy their
summer of motorsport. We also know a weekend’s racing is as much about what
happens off the track as it is what happens on it!
It’s a high trust model, so we are counting on people to use the privilege of
being able to stay on site and not abuse it. Common KIWI courtesies prevail,
success will be that everyone sleeps /eats, enjoys each other’s company and
the great racing at the Great Lake.
