Forest Tops Campground – Border Ranges National Park (CG)

There are a total of 10 sites at this location. The location is suitable for Tents and the ground is generally level.

Forest Tops campground is fairly secluded and a great spot to pitch your tent for the weekend if you’re travelling light. At Forest Tops, you’ll be completely immersed in World Heritage-listed rainforest. It’s a good idea to arrive when it is still light and, once you’ve set up camp, start on a hot cuppa. While you’re waiting for your billy to boil, work out tomorrow’s adventure. Try a short trip along Booyong walking track or walk the entire track – it finishes at Sheepstation Creek campground.
