Pae o te Rangi Campground

Pae o te Rangi Campground — whose name translates to "ridge of the heavens" — is a walk-in campsite set within the Cascades area of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park, situated on a working farm in a north-facing branch of the Te Henga/Bethells valley.

Reaching it requires roughly a 40-minute walk from the car park on Te Henga Road, with access also possible by bike via Whatitiri Track, which features stream crossings and waterside views.

The campground offers basic facilities including a toilet and boil-first water taps, along with wooden picnic benches and makeshift seating. A disc golf course sits adjacent to the site.

The campground is open year-round, accommodates a maximum of 30 people, and has a maximum stay of seven nights. Bookings are required.
