Flood recovery works continue in Myall Lakes National Park and surrounds
Keen campers can enjoy parts of Myall Lakes National Park these school holidays but are reminded that some campgrounds and reserves remain closed.
After severe-weather damage in May, many National Park amenities, campgrounds and picnic areas have been reopened. However, others are still being repaired between recurring large rainfall events.
Campgrounds which remain temporarily closed include:
- Brambles Green
- Bungarie Bay
- Dees Corner
- Joes Cove
- Mackaway Bay
- The Wells
- White Tree Bay
- Yagon
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will reopen campgrounds once conditions are safe and meet acceptable service standards, such as functioning toilet blocks.
Campers can book a spot at Korsmans Landing, Neranie and Violet Hill Campground, as well as boat-based campgrounds at Rivermouth, Freshwater, Shelley Beach and Johnsons Beach.
All campsites must be booked online, and visitors are not permitted in closed parks with penalties applying for non-compliance.
Quotes attributable to Doug Beckers, NPWS Acting Manager for Manning Great Lake Area:
“Some areas with significant damage will remain closed to give maintenance teams the time to make them safe for visitors to return in summer.
“For heavily damaged campgrounds, these closures may extend into the summer school holidays, and we’ll share reopening dates as soon as we have them.
“Before heading out, we remind visitors to always check for closure alerts at nationalparks.nsw.gov.au.”
