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.

Cycle routes in Conjola National Park may currently be unsuitable for some cyclists due to recent roadworks. There are many sections of large ballast rock that have been used in boggy areas that may be difficult for cyclists to negotiate. It is hoped these will silt up over time and be more suitable for cyclists.
Take care and cycle safely
