About this caravan park

New Country Swamp Campground, a genuine camping site disguised as a 'Rest Area', boasts five featured spots, including four single sites and a double. Each spot comes equipped with a low fireplace and a picnic table for the ultimate camping experience. Ideal for not only tents and camper trailers, but also regular RVs and caravans. While it offers a serene basic camping experience in Mummel Gulf NP, accessibility for larger rigs should be conducted with caution due to limited turning space. A perfect tranquil place to revel in nature's beauty, 12 km off the Oxley Highway.

This area is named a 'Rest Area' but it is a genuine camping area. The design is four single sites and one double, each having its own low fireplace (some wood provided) and a picnic table. If campers co-operate it is capable of taking a couple more rigs. NPWS info says tent and camper trailers, but there's no problem for normsal RV's and caravans. Large rigs should stop at the entrance to the camping area and check turning options using camping sites as the turning circle is not very large. For early morning sun choose the furthest site. Twelve km off the Oxley Highway, this is a quiet basic campsite in Mummel Gulf NP – a place to enjoy nature.

How to Get There

The best access road is Enfield Forest Road. Distance markers every 2km. Ch 40 if you want to announce yourself to others including logging trucks. The NP sign and turn to the right Mummel Rd is a few hundred metres after the 12km marker
