Safety alerts: Visitor Advisory - Road Access to Crowdy Bay National Park Campgrounds
Due to ongoing wet weather, road access to Crowdy Bay National Park has significantly deteriorated. Although a grader is on standby, the persistent rain over recent months has prevented essential maintenance works from being carried out.
Recommended Access Route:
For visitors with 2WD, low-clearance vehicles or those towing caravans, the most suitable access to Diamond Head, Indian Head, and Kylies Beach campgrounds is via Diamond Head Road from the north, through Laurieton. To reach Laurieton, take the Kew exit from the Pacific Highway.
Access from Moorland and Harrington along Diamond Head and Crowdy Bay Roads is CLOSED due to significant water over road, slippery and dangerous road surface.
Indian Head and Crowdy Gap Camping Areas are CLOSED.
