Planning your trip

Most campsites here are run by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, including Wangi Point Holiday Caravan Park on Lake Macquarie. Belmont Wetlands State Park and McNamara Park have their own managers, so book and check rules with them directly.

Barrington Tops campgrounds sit at altitude and can be cold, wet or closed after storms, while coastal campgrounds such as Worimi Beach can be busy in summer. Use the NSW National Parks site to confirm bookings, access and alerts for the campground you choose. Billy Camp does not list fees, pet rules or facilities unless the official source records them.
