NSW National Parks seeking feedback on proposed changes re. camping fees and bookings
The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is seeking community feedback on proposed changes to camping in NSW national parks and reserves.
Proposed changes include:
- the introduction of consistent state-wide camping fees simplified bookings to deliver fairer camping experiences for national park visitors
- improved management of persistent campground issues such as people booking space and not cancelling or turning up.
Further community feedback will help the NSW Government to decide on next steps and whether proposed changes are adopted and implemented.
Please read the consultation paper outlining details of the proposal and share your feedback by 11.59pm on Sunday 25 May 2025.

The removal of fees and bookings for the unserviced and largely unmanaged tier of campgrounds is a welcome change, I did not like it when they introduced these.
Not getting 100% of the booking charge back sounds like it should cut down on people booking when they don't actually mean to turn up, so I'd say that's reasonable.
I have reservations about how expensive the higher tier charges are though, even the mid tiers are getting pricey for what's supposed to be a cheap activity.
