Kaipatiki Camp Ground

Located approximately 45km northwest of central Auckland towards the Kaipara Harbour, Kaipātiki provides access to the geothermal springs in the Parakai settlement, known to local Ngāti Whātua ki Kaipara as Te Awa Kahawai.

Formerly the Parakai Springs Camping Ground is in the thermal heart of the Helensville district, northwest of Auckland. Parakai is well known for its many warm mineral swimming pools and water slide. The camping ground is adjacent, but quite separate from the pools. It has a nice playground for children. Sites are level and open. Picnic tables and some 7-8 hard stands for vans are provided.

Note this camping ground is only for fully self-contained
units, there are NO toilets, showers, laundry or kitchen.

There is a dump station here. A superette, family tavern and takeaway are within a stones throw of the camp. Campers get a reduced fee to use the pools.
