Karamatura Valley Campground sits within the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park on the Manukau Harbour side of the ranges, roughly 40 minutes from Auckland's CBD.

The campground is set alongside Karamatura Stream, and campers can fall asleep to the sound of running water in a stunningly beautiful bush setting. The Karamatura Loop Walk passes through the area, following the stream.

Facilities are basic: a composting toilet and stream water are available, with water requiring boiling before use. The site accommodates up to 40 people, with a maximum stay of seven nights. Advance booking is required.
