Nymboida National Park

Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation

1. The park’s campsite is free, but bookings are required.
2. There is only one campground at Nymboida National Park, and it may book up at peak periods. Book a few weeks in advance for summer visits and bank holiday weekends.

When to Go

Summer (December through February) is peak season in the Nymboida National Park, when average daytime temperatures are around 25°C. This is the best time for swimming, although it’s often still warm enough in late spring and early fall too. Rafting season along the Nymboida River runs from September through April, and you’ll need to book a private tour if you want to raft in winter. Hiking and outdoor activities are enjoyable year-round, but temperatures drop at night, so wrap up warm if you plan to camp.
