Share your feedback on fairer camping fees, simpler bookings, and tackling campground issues in national parks.

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is seeking community feedback on proposed changes to camping in NSW national parks and reserves.

Proposed changes include:

• the introduction of consistent state-wide camping fees
• simplified bookings to deliver fairer camping experiences for national park visitors
• improved management of persistent campground issues such as people booking space and not cancelling or turning up.

More than 200,000 campers and national park visitors were consulted to develop the proposal. Further community feedback will help the NSW Government to decide on next steps and whether proposed changes are adopted and implemented.
