Piha Campground Closed by Auckland Council, Reopening Uncertain

Auckland Council has announced the closure of the Piha campground, with no date set for its reopening. The once busy site is now empty, enjoying the September sun only with local wildlife.

Typically, up to 50 campers would be staying at the campground each night during this time of year. However, with the closure, the tui and ducks are the only occupants making the most of the sunny weather. The council's decision comes amid ongoing assessments and maintenance needs for the facility. Visitors to the area will have to seek alternative accommodation options as the campground remains shut for the foreseeable future.
