Camping information
Camping is a great way to experience the Australian bush and to see wildlife. Parks and forests offer a range of camping opportunities, from remote campsites for bushwalkers to campgrounds with toilets, picnic tables and sites for camper trailers and caravans as well as tents.
Campgrounds in parks and forests are different from commercially operated campgrounds. Native trees and shrubs grow in and around each campground, providing habitat for wildlife. There are no sites with electricity. If showers are provided, they are usually not heated. Generators are restricted or not permitted, so that campers can enjoy the quiet and the sounds of the bush at night.
In school holidays, on long weekends and at other peak times, there is high demand for campsites in many parks and forests. It is important to obtain information and book your campsite well in advance for these times.
Essentials to bring
Camping can be fun provided you are well prepared and take the right equipment. Remember to take:
waterproof tent, poles and pegs
blade or screw-style pegs and mallet
fuel stove, fuel supply and waterproof matches
bags for rubbish and storage
drinking water
sufficient non-perishable food and other supplies
cooking utensils
sleeping bag and mat, or a swag or other bedding
suitable clothing and sturdy shoes
wet weather gear (e.g. raincoat or waterproof jacket)
insect repellent
hat and sunscreen
suitable first-aid kit
binoculars and camera
map, brochure and compass
torch for walking at night
broadcast radio (for weather forecasts) and spare batteries
two-way radio and extra fuel (if camping in remote places)
It's a good idea to pack a gas or liquid fuel stove for camping trips. Open fires are prohibited in some parks. Where fires are allowed, firewood may not be supplied. Collecting firewood from the bush is not allowed.
In parks where campfires are allowed, make sure you completely extinguish all fires (with water, not sand or dirt) before leaving an area or going to bed. Even a few glowing embers can start a wildfire. Heavy fines may apply if campfires or other unshielded flames are left unattended.
Staying safe
Be aware of potential dangers and take care of yourself.
Plan carefully and make sure your camping equipment and vehicle or boat are in good working order.
Read signs and brochures carefully. Pay attention to any safety warnings.
Supervise your children, especially near water and in areas where there are potentially dangerous wildlife such as dingoes, crocodiles and cassowaries.
Don’t assume water is safe to drink. Boil or treat water before use.
Keep your food in locked containers or in your car to keep it safe from wildlife.
Extinguish fires whenever you leave your campsite unattended; use water, not sand, which retains heat and can cause severe burns.
Wear protective clothing to avoid sunburn, bites, scratches and stings.
Never feed or provoke wild animals.
Be wary of wild animals, including crocodiles, dangerous stinging jellyfish, snakes, dingoes, cassowaries, feral pigs, cattle, horses and buffaloes.
Protect yourself when camping on island national parks by taking these steps.
Take extra supplies in case you get stranded by sudden changes in the weather.
Be aware of tidal variations and strong currents. Anchor boats securely.
Be alert for sudden weather changes, particularly storms and cyclones. Be prepared to evacuate if necessary.
Carry a marine band radio and transceiver as many sites are out of range for mobile phones.
