My 2nd time here with the kids. Close to the beach which the kids loved, with an option to walk 5 min to Anzac Bay if the surf becomes too rough. All we needed for our stay was available, even a play area for the kids. Will hope to be back in future.

Relax by the sea
Bowentown is a well run, friendly camping ground. Everything is very clean and staff are very polite. We had a Seaview cabin, great views which help u forget about lifes problems. Waihi is also close by if you feel the need to wonder. Recommend

Our happy place
We always love our trips here. Such an awesome family trip. Best of both worlds, surf beach on one side, lagoon type bay on the other. Great park with a cool playground, well equipped facilities, clean and hot showers. Kids are safe and happy, loads to do in the area yet quiet enough to have a rest. But shhh don’t tell everyone.

The camp itself is nice but toilets were flooded during the night and the rubbish bins everywhere were just overflowing and on the ground. Amenities okay otherwise BUT until dog-owners are in one area and non-dog-owners in another area I won't be coming back. I do not want to be surrounded by barking dogs on my $30 plus per night tent site. To not even be INFORMED that this is the situation before arriving is unacceptable. No thanks. :(
Hi Esselle,
Unfortunately I couldn't find your name in our booking system to call you directly. We would have loved the chance to speak with you regarding the issues you had while staying here. I have just spoken with the Reception team and we are unaware of any complaints - it feels a little unfair that you didn't give us the opportunity to fix your stay and we also feel terrible that you stayed even while not enjoying yourself to such a degree - we would have given you a full refund had you of come and seen us.
The fact that we are dog friendly is something that we heavily promote on our website and social media and is a huge part of our low and shoulder season business. There are rules for people with dogs and we generally do not have complaints about this. We do apologise if there was a dog barking while you stayed - we would have done something about this had we have known about the issue at the time. We are dedicated to all guests enjoying their experience.
As for the water in our beach end facilities, we were made aware of this first thing this morning and the water had already gone by this point. We are unsure where this water came from as there was no rain and even during the heaviest of rain our facilities never flood. This is a very unusual circumstance for us - all that we can think of is that someone left a tap on (whether on accident or on purpose). If you read through other guest experiences, our facilities are spotless but some things are unfortunately out of our control.
Ourselves and our team work incredibly hard to ensure all guests have an amazing time here and this is reflected in our reviews and ratings. We would love the opportunity to show you this level of hospitality. If you would like to get in touch with us we would happily offer you a complimentary stay - and there will be no dogs for our peak season (20 Dec - 9 Feb).

Great campsite for all
Camp site nice and roomy. Office staff very welcoming and excellent coffee shop on site. Short walk to Anzac Bay and walks. Nice beach with a rocky outcrop on one side of beach, wonderful exploring for children. Beach seems save gor children, there is a surfv cub next to camp, not sure about working hours.

Awesome family friendly camp ground. Very close to the beach and near the surf flags for swimming during summer. Super friendly and helpful staff. Some rooms and camping areas are allowed dogs which was great, but only in the off season and you definitely need to ask before bringing them. Highly rate this place!
Thank you Teryll for the super review :D
We hope to see you again.

I originally planned to stay for three nights. However, during my stay, I encountered a significant issue with the toilet—it was struggling to flush properly. When I was unable to reach the owners, I decided to investigate the problem myself. To my astonishment, upon opening the cistern, I discovered two large brown logs inside.
I immediately contacted the owners to inform them of the issue, but their response was that they would address it only after my departure. This level of disregard for basic hygiene and prompt customer service is unacceptable. I will never stay at this establishment again.
Come on guys… this is getting old! Your fake reviews of our business in retaliation for us not tolerating your nonsense really is unacceptable!

Bowentown holiday park
Beautiful camp ground right by the sea the staff are super friendly and the coffee shop is a must stop. Great facilities and very pet friendly. We did not have a dog but you would not have known there were lots of dog’s there as they were well behaved. It’s a must stay.

Credit when it entirely due. 100%
Second year running we've booked No 7 unit, 2 bdrm Park Motel. I dont think the entry presentation could be improved upon. So lovely, fresh and clean. And how does the lady at check-in (owner?) remain so chirpy and lovely after dealing with the often frustrating public. But she does and was. Thankyou to the team at Bowentown Beach Holiday Park. 1st class.

Fabulous campground 7k away from Waihi. Totally recommend!
Stunning view from our powered campervan site. The staff were all so lovely. The facilities were extensive and very clean. Loved the little store and cafe with Allpress coffee and toasted sandwiches. Everything was reasonably priced and the store had all of the necessities.
