Environment Minister Matt Kean said he expected many travellers would be dusting off their tents and vans and heading to the great outdoors but booking ahead is essential.
“More than 255 campgrounds across our State’s beautiful national parks are open for business this June long weekend and for the first time every open campground will be bookable online or by phone,” Mr Kean said.
Many cottages and cabins within National Parks have also reopened.
Campers should come well prepared and practice good hygiene in shared facilities, and be aware that physical distancing as per Government health advice must be adhered to.
Visitors to wild campsites in back country and remote areas of national parks must fill in a Trip Intention Form so that authorities know where people are in case of an emergency.
“NPWS has uploaded plenty of information on their website to help visitors get ready for camping covid style so please take the time to check it out.”
Some campgrounds across NSW remain closed due to fire or flood impacts, or upgrade works. Some visitor centres and public facilities also remain closed. Check the NSW National Parks website for bookings, information and tips on COVID-safe camping.
