Each site has a picnic table and a fire-pit and you can book a camp oven package if you would like to engage in some outdoor cooking. It's fun, relaxing and nothing beats a camp oven stew!

The best camping near Kooyong State Conservation Area guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through the serene Kooyong State Conservation Area, a haven of natural beauty spanning 753 hectares. Nestled along the southern section of the Richmond Range, this park invites you to immerse yourself in its rich biodiversity. Although there are no campgrounds within the conservation area, the former Needlebark Flora Reserve and remnants of Giberagee State Forest offer a tranquil escape for day visitors.

When to go

The best time to visit Kooyong State Conservation Area is during the milder months of autumn and spring, when the weather is pleasant for exploring. Summer can be quite warm, making early morning or late afternoon visits more comfortable. Winter provides a crisp, cool climate, ideal for avid bushwalkers. Always check local alerts before planning your visit to ensure the park is open and accessible.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you have a detailed map as there is no public vehicle access to the reserve.
  • Check the latest updates on fires, closures, and other alerts before your visit.
  • Contact the Grafton office for any enquiries: Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.
  • Remember to respect the natural environment and preserve the area's biodiversity during your visit.
  • Be prepared for a self-sufficient trip as there are limited facilities within the conservation area.
