22Sept18. 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.

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 Somewhat outdated changing facilities.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.

Perfect additional activity to a day in the Rotorua area. Relaxing in the hot pools in beautiful surroundings! If you are camping there as well, you can ask to use the pools early in the morning! Best start to the day!

Loved this experience. The thermal pools are amazing. No added chemicals, just pure thermal water. Great little walk up to the source and information along the way about the temperature and minerals present in the water. We had a spot overnight in the camping ground and were able to come in early in the morning before it is open to the general public. The water is dumped the night before and the fresh water is amazing. The way your skin feels after soaking in the water is to die for. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a real experience of geothermal water. The only down side is the shower and toilet facilities could be updated and freshened up a bit but we just used our own in our motorhome instead.
