Bookings taken for holiday camping

The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be taking bookings for the summer holiday period from Monday, September 19, for sites including Tallow Beach and Putty Beach.

NPWS regional manager Mr Tom Bagnat said the camping areas at Putty Beach and Tallow Beach in Bouddi National Park were always full over the peak Christmas holidays period, with their beautiful beaches and great camping facilities proving attractive to both visitors and locals alike.

"In the past, we have asked campers to book not more than three months in advance.

"If they wanted to camp in January, they could not book until October," Mr Bagnat said.

"This year we are taking all bookings for the busy summer holidays from September 19.

"Camp bookings will be taken on a first come, first served basis with all camp fees paid at the time of booking.

"Bookings can be made over the phone by contacting 4320 4203 from 10am until noon or in person at the Gosford NPWS Office, Suite 36-38, 207 Albany St North, Gosford between 8.30 am and 4.30 pm Monday to Friday," said Mr Bagnat.

Putty Beach has car access, free gas barbecues, drinking water, toilets and cold showers.

Tallow Beach is a 1.5 kilometre walk, and contains toilets, but no drinking water.
