    Sandon Beach closures for aerial bitou bush treatment

    Sections of Sandon Beach north of Sandon River campground in Yuraygir National Park will be periodically closed from 26 August to 18 September 2026 for aerial drone spraying operations.

    This program is part of a systematic weed control program targeting Bitou bush throughout Yuraygir National Park. Bitou bush will be sprayed by drone with the herbicide Metsulfuron methyl 600/kg.

    The operations are weather dependent. The area may be closed for a period of up to 4 hours. This work will not affect the camping areas.

    Please follow all signs and directions of NPWS staff.

    For more information, contact the local NPWS office.

About

Perched on a sandy peninsular by the Sandon River mouth, Sandon River campground presents you with river on one side and protected ocean on the other. Not only does this mean million-dollar views, but easy access for fishing, swimming and boating.

After you’ve chosen your caravan, trailer or tent site, why not share a barbecue with your neighbours? Use the boat ramp and head out fishing or for a spot of canoeing, or find out about the site’s rich Aboriginal and European cultural heritage from the informative panels around the campground. If you feel like getting your toes wet, head to the beach for a quick dip.

This campground is also a great place to stop over when hiking the multi-day Yuraygir coastal walk.
