A park fire ban is in place in this park and remains in effect unless otherwise extended or removed. During park fire ban periods, all campfire and solid fuel (wood, heat beads, charcoal, briquettes, hexamine) barbecues and stoves are prohibited. Gas and electric barbecues and cookers are permitted as long as:
- They're under direct control of an adult

However the following campgrounds are exempt:

About
Dunphy's campground is a great option if you're looking for a Blue Mountains camping getaway, less than an hour's drive from Katoomba and Blackheath. Offering 15 sites in a grassy, open setting with views of Mt Cloudmaker and the Wild Dog mountains, it's suitable for both tents and camper trailers.
The campground makes a great base for day walks and fishing along the Cox's River, extended hikes to Kanangra Walls, and climbing Narrow Neck's cliffs. The short, family-friendly walk up to Bellbird Point is delightful in spring. You can also connect with Six Foot walking track, down the road, or the 132km Katoomba to Mittagong trail.
Nature lovers are well catered for here. Keep an eye out for kangaroos and wombats visiting the grassy clearings, or wedge-tailed eagles and flocks of cockatoos above. History buffs can check out the ruins of an original settler's cottage nearby. The campground is named after conservationist Myles Dunphy, who played a key role in the formation of Blue Mountains National Park.
Dunphys campground is equipped with undercover gas barbecues, fire rings, picnic tables, toilets and parking.
