About this campground
Campsites are not bookable and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
An intriguing mix of plants grow on and near Mount Ragged including orchids, ferns and plants such at the showy banksia that are more typical of coastal locations. The Mt Ragged area is also a terrific spot for birds. Look for purple-crowned lorikeets, yellow-plumed honeyeaters, the shy heathwren and birds such as the mulga parrot and crested bellbird, which are more typical of drier country.
