    Diamond Head Road - changed conditions and scheduled works

    8 September 2026 update:

    • Diamond Head Road, from the northern (Dunbogan) entry point to Kylies Beach campground, was graded in mid-July.
    • Diamond Head Road, to the south of Kylies Beach campground leading to Coralville Road, was graded in early-August.
    • Crowdy Bay Road, between Coralville and Crowdy Head Road, was graded in late-August.
    • The next round of grading is anticipated to occur in late November/early December.

    Diamond Head, Indian Head, and Kylies Beach campgrounds, and the Diamond Head walking tracks, are currently best accessed using Diamond Head Road from the northern park entry point via Laurieton/Dunbogan to minimise the length of driving on gravel roads.

    Crowdy Gap campground is best accessed using Crowdy Bay Road from the southern park entry point via Harrington to minimise the length of driving on gravel roads.

    For more information, contact the NPWS Port Macquarie office on (02) 6588 5555.

About

The only campground at the southern end of Crowdy Bay National Park, Crowdy Gap campground is located behind the sand dunes on the edge of Crowdy Bay on the site of an old dairy farm.

Set up camp among the banksias and pink-barked angophoras, inhale the fresh coastal breeze, and unpack your swimmers for a beachside camping holiday. It's an easy walk through lush rainforest and sand dunes to Crowdy Beach. Spend your days diving into the clear blue waves, fishing, and walking the golden beaches. As the sun sets, gather together and cook up your catch over a barbecue.

A place of significance to the local Birpai Aboriginal People, shell middens are dotted through the dunes, indicating this was an area of plenty for fish, shellfish and wallabies.
