Pararaha Valley Campsite
Pararaha Valley Campsite
Pararaha Valley Campsite is a grassed campground situated at the foot of a hill in the Pararaha Valley, within the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park in Auckland's North Island.
Surrounded by regenerating native bush, the site features an open shelter and sits near the coastal wetlands and scientific reserve that stretch toward Whatipu Beach.
The campsite is accessible by road as well as via the Pararaha Valley Track, which follows the stream on boardwalks and a curved bridge through the valley.
After a period of closure due to kauri dieback disease, both the campground and the Pararaha Valley Track reopened in April 2022 following track improvements designed to limit the spread of the disease.
