Waikite Valley Thermal Pools Campground

We had a great experience at the hot pools, very friendly and helpful staff. Though the camping facilities are limited they were quality in my opinion and all you need - cheap coin laundry, drying shed, access to the hot pools from check in to 11:00am the following day, cafe on site and in terms of the kitchen there is a sink, toasters, hot plate, kettles, fridge). We didnt have any issues at all and it was a rainy day. Only issue might be if you are in need of a dump station or petrol, you will just need to make sure you are all good on those fronts before going, however as stated there are facilities you can use if not, including hot showers. Noteworthy details: No dump station. Only one washing machine and one dryer so if they are in use you will need to wait but the cycle times are noted and are accurate.

(Translated by Google) Omg such a beautiful place! The campsite is more of a parking lot, but has everything you need. Clean, hot showers and a clean kitchen. The pools are amazing. Super hot and beautifully designed. The staff checks the temperature of each pool very often. After the Tongariro Crossing, it's definitely the perfect place to relax! (Original) Omg so ein wunderschner Ort! Der Campingplatz besteht zwar mehr aus einem Parkplatz, hat jedoch alles Notwendige. Saubere, heie Duschen und eine saubere Kche. Die Pools sind der Wahnsinn. Mega hei und wunderschn angelegt. Das Personal prft sehr oft die Temperatur der einzelnen Becken. Nach dem Tongariro Crossing jedenfalls die perfekte Adresse zum Entspannen!
