Auckland Council has made some temporary changes at Piha Campground to help reduce the risk from potential flooding as it moves into the busy summer season.
In June 2020 the camping area at Les Waygood Park was flooded, and an assessment of the area has recommended that the lower part of the campground should not be used for overnight camping due to the high health and safety risk.
Changes
As a precautionary measure, the council has worked with United North Piha Surf Life Saving Club, who holds a lease over the camping ground, to suspend any camping in the area, with other safer areas established.
