Simply mind blowing experience. A walk to the spring is a must. Unbelievable how much boiling water is flowing around this area. Private hot pool was definitely worth a relaxing 40 minutes. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Had the best time with the grandchildren, aged 6 and 8. Stayed for four nights. The campsite and facilities extremely clean. Loved the fact no WIFI. We all enjoyed the pools...so relaxing. Will definitely be back and fully recommend.

We spent 2 nights here in our campervan. We had a powered site, unpowered/tent available too. $70 per night for the 2 of us including access to the best hot pools we have found on North Island from 7am to 7pm was excellent value. We soaked in the pools each morning and evening and used it as a base to explore the area, we went cycling in the forest, rafting down the big waterfall and visited Te Puia. I'd recommend them all. Kitchen and toilets were clean and modern. It is a pretty small site, we booked the day before in May and it wasn't full but I guess it could get very busy during holiday times.

Oh my, what a hidden gem! Such a quaint little spot to completely unwind & relax. We couldn’t believe that you get pool access included with your camping, we had to stay there - it was a no brainer. Camping spots have enough space and are well kept! Kitchen facilities were spotless, they looked brand new. Toilets also clean & smelt great. The whole site just feels very magical and relaxing. We loved the addition of the eco trail showing you exactly where the water comes from. Each pool had a different temperature so great for everyone. Staff were very friendly & gave you the space you’d want in this kind of environment - no bothering whatsoever. One last note!! Who on earth made that carrot cake?! We need the recipe right now. Thought we’d treat ourself last night & it was so good we had to come back this morning for a second slice 😍😍😍 overall would highly recommend this place (& it’s sexy carrot cake) 10/10

As someone who also works in tourism and hospitality I genuinely appreciated the exceptional level of service I received while visiting with my partner. We took a private pool and then tried all the public pools and I feel the price was really generous. All the facilities were very clean and welcoming. It was also incredible to walk up and see where the water was coming from!! These guys are doing it really well, and I will visit again every time I come out to Rotorua 🙌🏽

We have been back several times in our caravan. Always a great stay. Just found out this time you can pay for early check in for $10, well worth it. We have at least two dips in the hot pools so the prices is well worth it Highly recommend.

Lovely site with brilliant facilities. Spent a night in bay 7, best of the lot as far as we could tell- right on the boundary of the murky mists. The pools were fantastic, we watched the sun set from the infinity edge then sat under the stars. Campers get early access and an early morning bob (can’t say we swam) in the mists was the perfect start. Thank you for a great start to our trip.

The views were amazing. Peaceful surroundings in the private pool. Super helpful staff. A++ customer service. Although we didn't order any food, we noticed that the serving sizes were more than decent. Highly recommend it.

Have been here so many times and camped a few times as well. Never disappoints, always so lovely to use the many hot pool, day and night with family, friends and children. Plenty of powered/un-powered sites, toilets, changing rooms, cafe and even a small kitchen & drying shed. Staff are so lovely and welcoming. FYI no cellphone reception or wifi which is the best part to fully enjoy this place ;)

Fabulous place. Can’t rave about it enough! We had travelled from Auckland in our motorhome with friends who’ve visited before and they told us it was special. We stayed at a couple of other camping places with hot pools on the way south but none of them are a patch on Waikite. Lots of different pools to choose, lovely clean facilities for campers and day visitors. The pools empty overnight and are refilled so the water is always clean and it was plenty warm enough unlike some that aren’t really “hot” pools. Staff very helpful and pleasant. It’s spoilt us for any other hot pools!
