You are now required to make a booking for all campgrounds and campsites in national parks. This includes locations that were previously available for use without a booking. This is necessary to protect our visitors and prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The booking rules or maximum capacity may have changed for your preferred destination, so please check the webpage for your chosen campground before planning your visit.

NSW has temporarily shut its border with Victoria to contain the spread of COVID-19. This means there are restrictions on persons entering NSW if they have been in Victoria within the previous 14 days and obligations to self-isolate if they are authorised to enter NSW.

If you have recently been in Victoria and are subject to self-isolation obligations, please note that NSW National Park campgrounds and accommodation are not suitable places for self-isolation.

Please refer to the latest advice from the NSW Government to determine whether you are required to self-isolate, depending on your recent travel history.

Some of our national parks or some sites remain closed due to the recent bushfires and floods or to ensure compliance with the current rules on public gatherings. Please check alerts for closures in NSW national parks before planning your visit.

We remind you that physical distancing is still required for all activities in NSW national parks. Current rules on public gatherings also continue to apply.
