    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.

About

With its excellent camping and picnic facilities, the beach side campground at Diamond Head is one of the most popular places to stay in Crowdy Bay National Park. It includes campsites for motorhomes, caravans, campervans, camper trailers and tents.

Once you've ogled the ocean and the blackened pillars of Split Rock from the beach, there is lots more to explore. Take your choice from several hiking tracks, including the 4.8km Diamond Head loop walk via Indian Head with its panoramic views of coast, mountains and forest, or the shorter Mermaid Lookout track.

You'll find gas barbecues, picnic shelters and outdoor showers right next to the beach.
