  • Family-friendly site 40 metres from three hot thermal pools
  • A 20-minute drive to Hobbiton Village; Waikato River Trail, 15 minutes
  • Passes available for 24-hour hot pool access; nine-hole golf course
Hot thermal pools, the real-life Hobbiton Shire and river hikes… if that gets a big applause from you, make haste for Okoroire Hot Springs Hotel Camp in Waikato. Part of the Okoroire Hot Springs Hotel, this family-friendly hideout is across the road from the nine-hole Okoroire golf course and 40 metres from the hotel’s three hot thermal pools. Nab yourself a ticket to the hot pools for soaks morning, day and night. The hot pools are open 24 hours per day. If you’re looking to scope out yet more hot springs, there’s a hiking trail to Blue Spring Putaruru, which takes several hours (although, a 15-minute drive will get you there in a flash). Well-maintained and surrounded by an open green landscape, it should be no surprise that this site can get busy during the high season. That may also be down to the prime location, 20 minutes’ drive from the Hobbiton Village. This sheep farm is real-life Shire from The Hobbit, and guided tours will take you around the movie set where Bilbo Baggins resided. Your adventures might be just as exciting as the hobbit’s (though, not as perilous), considering that Okoroire Hot Springs Hotel Camp is 15 minutes’ drive from the start of the 104-kilometre Waikato River Trail. Accessible on foot or by bicycle, the path ventures into the bush, forests and farmlands.

Salty B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Caravan Plug sites were covered by trees making beautiful shadows in our camper

Nature and waking to the sounds of multiple different types of birds

Sounds of the river rushing past the hotel

Historical grounds and small amount of information given by the receptionist was very cool.

Though the shower looked terrifying, it was actually a decent shower

The food at the hotel restaurant was absolutely delicious 😋

Disliked: Facilities quite run down however price does reflect this but cleaning products being used more regularly would be a vast improvement to an already pretty great location.

Website should state pool fare is separate to the fee for camping to save disgruntled customers (we were fine with it)

Lack of information
No information about the hotel heritage
No information about the land history previous to the hotel
No information on the hotel construction

The spas could have boards for how to use them correctly.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: The pub 300m away from campsite looked like it had decent food and cleaner toilets than the campsite.

Disliked: The toilets were rank with no hand soap or paper towels to dry hands, even after the cleaners came down there was still none. There was only one shower which looked like you would be dirtier if u used it. There’s chickens wondering about that wake u up at 5 am. It’s a 15 minute drive from the closest shop

Local attractions

Outdoorsy adventures first up on your to-do list? Fishing and boating will keep you busy at the Little Waipa Reserve (20 minutes’ drive). You’ll be well-entertained with the trails and wildlife in the Whakarewarewa Forest Park (50 minutes) too. There are over 200 kilometres of mountain biking trails alone, in fact. Whakarewarewa Forest Park is right alongside Rotorua (35 minutes), but you may want to put aside a whole day to this tantalising town. There are spas and wood carving or weaving classes. Between the forest and the town, check out the geothermal mud pools in the Whakarewarewa - The Living Maori Village (45 minutes) and the Pohutu Geyser (45 minutes), which ejects water several times per day. What about a city too? On the Waikato river, Hamilton (50 minutes) has a zoo, museum and a lively collection of restaurants and bars. Tauranga (40 minutes) might tempt you along too. The coastal city has access to the beaches and hot saltwater pool in Mount Maunganui (45 minutes) and boat trips are available to White Island’s active volcano.
