The best camping near Herberton Range National Park guide

Overview

About

Herberton Range National Park invites adventurers to explore its high-altitude rainforests, endangered wet sclerophyll forests, and open woodlands. Traverse the scenic trails on foot, mountain bike, or horseback, and marvel at the panoramic views from Mount Baldy and Drovers Lookout. While bush camping is available in the adjacent Baldy Mountain Forest Reserve, the national park itself is a day-use wonderland of exploration and discovery.

When to go

The best time to visit Herberton Range National Park is during the cooler, drier months from May to September. The lower humidity and milder temperatures make outdoor activities more pleasant. The wet season, from December to April, can see heavy rainfall and potential park closures, so it's less ideal for visits.

Know before you go

  • Mobile phone coverage is unreliable, so plan accordingly and inform someone of your itinerary.
  • Access to certain areas may be restricted due to weather or conservation efforts; check park alerts before your visit.
  • Bring drinking water, sunscreen, and wear sturdy footwear for your adventures.
  • Remember to treat all water before drinking to avoid illness.
  • Be mindful of myrtle rust precautions to help protect the park's biodiversity.
