Summary
Piha Campground’s future hangs in the balance as flooding woes, dating back to the 1920s, resurface with no real solutions in sight. Despite community pressure for practical fixes like stream erosion control and wetland clearing — backed by council funding — nothing’s been done. Staff scramble to keep campers safe, offering discounts and cancellations, while the council considers shutting down the beloved spot entirely. A promising early warning camera under a bridge remains unused, highlighting a pattern of reports without action. With summer fast approaching, locals hope a simple siren system could finally turn the tide — before it’s too late.
