A number of beautifully diverse National Parks exhibit their natural glory close to Batemans Bay. Further information on access and facilities in these parks can be obtained from the Visitors Centre or from the National Parks & Wildlife Service District Office at Narooma on (02) 4476 2888.

These parks collectively cover over 150,000 hectares of our famous eucalypt forests and magical waterways. Many species of Australian native flora and fauna are found in these preserved areas and pockets of pristine rainforest exist.
You will definitely find kangaroos, wallabies, possums and parrots of all the colours of the rainbow. You could also meet bandicoots, goannas, echidnas, wombats and many others. There are many trails for bushwalking and some amazing places to reach, although parts of all parks are rugged. Regulated camping is allowed and our temperate climate ensures you'll enjoy our great outdoors all year around.
