Depot Beach campground – Murramarang National Park (CG)

There are a total of 59 sites at this location. The location is suitable for Caravans, Camper Trailers, Camping beside my vehicle, and Tents.

Set amongst the beautiful spotted gums native to the area, the location is perfectly idyllic for a weekend away. Once you’ve set up your tent, swag, camper trailer or caravan you’ll never want to leave. The beach is just a couple of minutes’ walk away and is the perfect spot to go for a swim, a snorkel, or relax with a book on the golden sand. There are great spots for fishing, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of the local dolphins that seem to love this part of the coastline too. Once you’ve had enough of the sun and sand, both Rock Platform walk – Depot Beach and Depot Beach Rainforest walk leave from this area.
