Quiet, Peaceful, Views, Comfortable, Friendly - 5 words to summarise Athenree Hot Springs and Holiday Park.
Our total score: 95%
Stayed over a couple of nights so my teenager could go to a birthday party in Waihi. Easy to understand why the park is booked out over December and January, but a great park for any time of year as it's well sheltered and restful. Lovely BBQ area (liked the pizza oven) and well equipped main kitchen, including utensils, pots and pans. A great place for full time travelers and part-time van travelers to recharge, do the laundry and get some good meals in! Close enough to Waihi Beach township - the fish and chips, Indian Takeaways and Bakery are awesome, not to mention the Flat White Café. Island View Fish and Chips were very good and only 6 minutes away!

Enjoyed two nights here made the most of the hot pool but it does close early at 7.30pm.
The owners were very friendly as were the other campers staying.
Had a great spot considering how wet it was didn’t get stuck. Was a bit small wouldn’t have got my awning out if it was summer but I saw larger sites available.
Facilities were old but well maintained and looked after.
Dogs allowed
Washing and drying is $2 each so good value.
Showers free and nice and hot.

Clean clean shower (showers are free to use plenty of hot water) and toilet blocks separate men's and women's altho one day a couple shared their shower while I was at the handbasin having a shave!
Loved this place have driven past the Athenree access road from SH2 many many times but this was the first time venturing down it and into this amazing camping ground
Nice usable kitchen need to take your own cutlery pots etc altho campers have been donating their excess cutlery etc such as spatulas serving spoons slotted spoons there's also 2 large BBQs a pizza oven and a BBQ hotplate thingy all free to use in a very large outdoor dining area altho it does have a roof covering it all
Camping sites of all kinds scattered thru out the complex campervan caravan powered and unpowered plus a large number of tent sites plus they have cabins of all sizes from 1 person to 4 or 5 or more most have private TVs
There are 2 TV rooms one of which has access to SkyTV free to use
Trampoline for the kids plus a large park opposite with plenty of kids play equipment swings slides etc
Large swimming pool with heated spring water free to use by campers small charge for locals or visitors
Dogs are allowed no extra charge we had our dog with us

This is a small and friendly site with Tidy clean washrooms, which are a bit older, and amazing hot pools.
The pitch however was tiny and the place crowded in Dec. The campsite is in a cul-de-sac and is very calm but there is also nothing around in walking distance. We had a good time and the kids enjoyed the pools.
Hi Sebastian
Thanks for taking the time to place your review and comments. Your site was 71.5m2 which more than comfortably fits a 7.5m camper. I think you will find most campgrounds are very full at the end of December. Our older facilities have stood the test of time and were resurfaced a couple of months ago. The campground is ideally located for guests to enjoy the serenity of the estuary. Pleased to know you enjoyed your stay
Regards

Lovely place to stay, but were very disappointed with Manager asking us to turn music down at 3.30 in the afternoon, when 1 person complained and other people in the camp ground had their music on just
as loud. Probably will not be back.
We are sorry Gayle but when one of our guests make a complaint we are not able to ignore it.
