The best camping near Ravensbourne National Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through the verdant landscapes of Ravensbourne National Park. With no campgrounds within its bounds, the park instead invites day visitors to explore its scenic walking tracks, marvel at panoramic views from Gus Beutel lookout, and enjoy picnics amid the cool, moist remnants of rainforest.

When to go

The best time to visit Ravensbourne National Park is during the cooler months, from April to September, when the weather is mild and conducive for hiking and birdwatching. Summer brings heavy rains and storms, making some tracks less accessible.

Know before you go

  • Supervise children closely as tracks have steep drop-offs and can be slippery, especially after rain.
  • Wear a hat, apply sunscreen, and sturdy walking shoes for your adventure.
  • Carry drinking water and treat or boil park water before consumption.
  • Be mindful of stinging nettles and giant stinging trees; wearing long trousers and sleeves is advisable.
  • Check the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation website for any park alerts before your visit.
