True wilderness on Sydney's doorstep. With convict history of the Great North Rd.

Popular place for Duke of Edinburgh hikes.

Stunning area for hiking, camping or even just a picnic. Free electric BBQs are available and campsites have non flush toilets. Camping is not free and booking of sites is required prior to arrival.

A beautiful place to go bushwalking! Felt like the 11km bush track was a few km's longer although that could've been due to the fact that it was a scorching hot day and me and my fellow walkers were exhausted.

User

Mill creek campground is great, with plenty of wombats, a bit expensive though ($23 per night). The walks from there are really nice as well.

I've been to this park to do a walk. We've seen no one 😊just a snake and many birds

User

Beautiful, untouched natural landscape. Many different birds are here. Requires off-road vehicle to move through it, the road is extremely steep and rough.

User

Beautiful Hawkesbury country. Loved every minute of it.
