C'est chouette de pouvoir aller dans les piscines chaudes.
Certains emplacements pour camping car sont vraiment petits, sur des gravillons, peu facile de mettre une table de camping, c'est plus un parking. Douches et sanitaires propres. Personnel sympathique .Un peu cher.

Absolutely hopeless to park a 7 mtr caravan into the top sites from 23 - 28 .No turning area at all unless you are fist in… Left disappointed without staying won’t be back.

Beautiful location and value for money.
Wish they had more showers in camp ground as had to use the ones near the pool. Would also be good if cafe stayed open later as nearest food is Rotorua.

We loved this place when we came in 2014 and think we will always come back when we visit from UK. Make sure you go up to the somewhat scary stream outlet. Water coming out of the ground at 98degrees c!
Various pools and popular with the locals by the look of it and not surprising.

Wiakite was amazing.
We got excellent customer service throughout, beautiful serene place rustic old world blend with the new world expectation of tourist experience. Quality product and service at an excellent price for campers. Will go again for sure.

This was recommended to us by our rental company.
Being able to stay in a powered site in a wonderful location was a real treat, but the pools were great. Staff were friendly enough and the pools are class. Even in winter it was amazing. Went dark early so great for stargazing and doing some reading. Bit annoying you have to pay for lockers. $4 for washing and $4 for dryer. Nice kitchenette area, and the pools are much nicer than the nearby Rotorua due to the lack of sulphur smell!

Great for our ten month old - not too crowded.
Somewhat outdated changing facilities.

Waikite Valley Thermal Pools Camp Ground: 10/10.
Excellent! Arrived late, but they managed to squeeze us into the last spot. Camping fee includes access to the thermal pools too - great value as they can be accessed on arrival, as well as early on the morning of departure when they are quiet.
