Camping in Hattah-Kulkyne National Park
Hattah-Kulkyne National Park lies in typical mallee country with extensive low scrub and open native pine woodland. Superbly adapted birds, animals and vegetation thrive in the poor, sandy soils and searing summers.
There are two designated camping areas in the park with basic facilities, including non-flush toilets, fireplaces and picnic tables. They are at Lake Mournpall and Lake Hattah. Advance bookings and payment are required year round for camping at these sites.
Other river camping areas without facilities are available at Ki Bend, Firemans Bend and Jinkers Bend. No booking or fees are required.
Please practise minimal impact camping and observe relevant fire regulations. Beware of falling River Red Gum limbs when camping along the river.
