Mitchell Falls Campground

Some campsites have their own fire ring. Firewood must be collected before entering the park. Firewood collecting areas are signposted along Port Warrender Road. Preferably use your own portable gas or fuel stove.

There is a swimming area downstream of the start of the walk trail. Soaps and detergents are not permitted in the creeks and rivers. It is recommended that water is boiled or otherwise treated before drinking.

An Uunguu Visitor Pass is required for entry to the park, and additional permits may also apply for some activities and modes of transport. For more information, prices and to purchase the pass visit the Wunambal Gaambera website. The pass must be purchased before arriving at the park as there is no public internet/phone access on Wunambal Gaambera Country.
