Directions Waihi Motor Camp · 6 Waitete Road · Waihi is located 2 minutes from the centre of Waihi, just off Sate Highway 2.
*Highway sign rules, means the motor camp is not strongly signposted on SH2, but travelling either north or south on the highway, the main clue to look for is Parry Palm Avenue, where the main road is lined on each side by large long- established palm trees.
*Waitete Road joins the main road at right angles in the palm zone, but does not cross it, so there is no doubt about which way to turn. You drive straight for 2kms or so, and the Waihi Motor Camp is on the left with a well-signed entrance. You can’t miss it.

Waihi Motor park-like grounds have mature trees and lawns, even a duck pond, and you’ll really enjoy our lively stream with swimming hole, that flows around much of the north-west boundary of the camp.

Ideal as a base for the Karangahake Gorge just up the road, or for playing the Waihi Golf Course, a pleasantly green and playable course that’s one of golf’s best kept secrets. Waihi  Beach, is only 10 minutes or so to the east.

WORST STAY EVER!!! Gloria the camp site owner is the problem with the motor camp, she is guilt of committing many illegal forms of conduct at the motor camp. Firstly, it is a legal requirement to have a 3 meter gap between tent sites, she has no gaps at all. Secondly, she breaches the Privacy Act by out rightly using people's full name which she got off the forms as you sign in. Thirdly, there are no warning of steps in poorly lite areas creating a hazard. Fourthly, the is guilty of false advertising, on the website advertising as $15 a night and on arrival it is $20 a night. Fifthly, stereotyping us by our age, assuming that because we are going to cause trouble. There are many more,but the worst thing is the lack of privacy, she drives around in a car every hour checking up on certain people (youth). She is incredibly frustrating to talk to as she talks slow and to herself. STAY AWAY!!

AM NEVER GOING BACK!
If i could rate it in Negatives, i would.
We only stayed there because it was our last option. The campsite was great, lovely people etc.
PROBLEM= Gloria (the campsite owner) made us feel so uncomfortable that we didnt want to leave our campsite. The constant driveby's that we recieved from her aswell, were unwelcoming, and gave us no privacy at all.
I thought it was just age descrimination at first, but talked to a couple of over 50yr olds, and they felt the exact same.
We caused no trouble at all and stayed to ourselves the whole time, except for the night of New Years Eve, where half the campsite came together in the kitchen for a gathering. Gloria ended up coming down and swearing at the lots of us, and made us feel even more uncomfortable
( If that was possible) on New Years Eve.
To top it off, while we were setting up our tent, about ten pigs came running through our site, yes.. PIGS.
She shouldn't run a campsite, with no customer service skills.
She was nothing but rude to us from the time we entered her office, and throughout our entire stay. She still had the cunning-ness to wish us a happy new years as we walked out on the last day with our reciepts as proof that she had ripped us off .
The website is $15 per night, but we were charged $20 each.
She also has her workers up at all hours cleaning (3am and 5am was when i saw one cleaning)
Everyone else we talked to, felt the same, and were never going back.
