Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Dorrigo National Park adventure.
Rise above the everyday in the rainforest of the Dorrigo Plateau.
Part of the Gondwana Rainforest, Dorrigo National Park is one of the most accessible national parks in NSW, proving that you don’t have to rough it on long hikes to see some of the country’s best wilderness. It’s a day-use park only with no campgrounds, but there are a range of boardwalk trails, so it’s great for either a quick one-hour visit or an all-day trip with a longer, five-hour walk. The Rainforest Centre features excellent interpretive displays, while the 70-metre-high Skywalk runs above the forest canopy, leading out over the edge of the escarpment. The other must-see spot is Crystal Shower Falls, where a suspension bridge takes you behind the water curtain.
Dorrigo National Park is one of those year-round destinations that is beautiful any time. In summer, thanks to the altitude, it offers a refreshingly cool alternative to the often hot and humid coast, but it can be a bit wet—although, visiting after rain is the best time to see the waterfalls at their most dramatic.
