The best camping in Bimberamala National Park, NSW guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through the steep, forested landscapes of Bimberamala National Park. Traverse the park's 4WD roads and witness the Bimberamala River carving through the valley, creating serene water holes. While facilities are sparse, the park offers a raw and authentic connection with nature, perfect for seasoned explorers.

When to go

The best time to visit Bimberamala National Park is during the drier months when the 4WD tracks are more accessible. Avoid the rainy season when the park's steep terrain can become challenging to navigate, and river levels may rise, making crossings unsafe.

Know before you go

  • Check current alerts and weather conditions before your visit.
  • Prepare for limited recreational facilities; bring all necessary supplies.
  • Be mindful of park safety guidelines, especially when near water holes.
  • Access is primarily via 4WD roads; ensure your vehicle is suitable.
  • Contact the Ulladulla office from 9am to 4pm for more information.
