    Temporary closures at Mimosa Rocks National Park

    The National Parks and Wildlife Service is delivering a range of improvements at the popular Mimosa Rocks National Park on NSW’s South Coast. The upgrades will improve flood resilience, sustainability and visitor safety across three key precincts in the park including Aragunnu Beach, Gillards Beach and Middle Beach campgrounds and day use areas.

    Work will be completed in stages, and has been scheduled outside of peak holiday times, where possible.

    Visitors can expect the following temporary closures:

    • From August 2026 to late-2026 Middle Beach campground and day use area will be closed to all public access for upgrades.
    • From February 2027 to Mid-2027 Aragunnu campground and day use area is expected to be closed to all access, subject to planning approvals and weather.
    • From 14 October 2026 – Mid-2027 Gillards campground and day use area is expected to be closed pending planning approvals and subject to weather.

    Alternative camping options include Picnic Point Campground in Mimosa Rocks National Park. Take the opportunity to explore some of the other great parks in the region.

    Temporary closures may also occur outside these dates to allow for the works. Plan your trip and check for closure alerts before your visit at nswparks.info.
    Visitors are reminded that the area is currently a construction site and is closed to public access. Signs, barriers and fencing are in place for safety. Unauthorised entry to construction sites is prohibited in NSW. Do not enter the site or bypass closure signs, barriers or fencing.

    All other areas in Mimosa Rocks National Park will remain open to visitors during these times. Check for park closure alerts before you travel.

About

You’ll find this pretty campground nestled between the beach and the bush. Suitable for caravans, motorhomes, tents and camper trailers; Gillards Beach campground is the perfect weekend getaway for families and small groups alike.

When you’ve set up your campsite, there’s plenty to do nearby. Take a refreshing walk along the sandy beach or set up stumps for a game of beach cricket. Remember to bring your fishing rod along – there are some great spots to sink a line and you’ll be able to cook your catch up for dinner on the camp barbecue.

In the evening, be sure to keep your eyes peeled and have your torch handy; you might spot a potoroo or two – they look a little bit like a small kangaroo or bandicoot. When you’re ready to retire for the evening, the sound of the waves crashing nearby is sure to lull you in to a peaceful sleep.
