There are no marked sites. Maximum length of stay is 14 days at this campground and 21 days in this national park. A maximum of 2 sites can be booked in 1 customer name. There is limited mobile reception in this park.

Experienced walkers will enjoy the challenge of Old Mountain road track and those who are keen on mountain biking will be keen to explore cycling routes such as Cumberland Trail.

As the shadows lengthen, gather together for a campfire barbecue of freshly caught fish and settle back to enjoy the sounds of the surrounding bush.

The campsite and surrounding areas were largely burned out in the 2019/20 fires. The campsite is slowly recovering but much of the surrounding area was subject to particularly intense heat, making recovery much slower, and with some species, impossible.

Pleasant, flat grassed campsites along Jounama Creek with a choice of shade or sun.

Access from the Snowy Mountains Highway is 2WD, all weather. You may have to carry snow chains in winter.
