Other planned events: Congo Campground – Visitor notice campsite sandy condition

Due to ongoing dry conditions, several campsites (sites 10,12,13) at Congo campground currently have soft and sandy surfaces, particularly in areas accessed by vehicles.

These conditions may make vehicle manoeuvring difficult, and visitors are encouraged to take extra care when driving or setting up.

To help minimise impacts and avoid vehicle bogging, please park on firmer ground where available or pack ground matting / camp matting / annex flooring.

Remedial works to improve campground surface conditions are scheduled after April school holidays.

If you would like to update or change your booking, please login to the NPWS guest portal or call the National Parks Contact Centre on 1300 72757 (1300 PARKS).
