Battle Hill Farm Forest Park

Battle Hill Farm Forest Park sits at 610 Paekakariki Hill Road in Pauatahanui, Porirua, about 30 kilometres north of Wellington.

The 500-hectare property combines rolling farmland, native bush, and plantation forestry, making it a versatile destination for day trips and overnight stays. Visitors may encounter feral cattle on the tracks and are advised to give them space.

The campground accommodates tents, campervans, and caravans, with a nightly limit of 120 campers set by the capacity of the on-site septic system.

Booking is recommended during daylight saving months; campsites are otherwise allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Portable gas BBQs are permitted for cooking.

The park also features a working farm where sheep, deer, and other animals can be seen, along with trails suited to a range of abilities.
