The only fees in the park apply at the Girrakool and Somersby Falls picnic areas with a fee of $8. All other areas of the park are free.

NSW Parks passes are valid in the park, which provide unlimited access to the park for a year. The passes also provides faster entry and is valid for 12 months (or 24 if you purchase a two year pass) from date of purchase. The fees per vehicle (as at 2021) as follows:

  • All Parks Pass – includes all parks in New South Wales, including Kosciuszko Nat Park ($195 for one year, $335 for two years)
  • Multi Park Pass – includes all parks in New South Wales, excluding Kosciuszko Nat Park ($65 for one year, $115 for two years)

All three parks passes are valid in Brisbane National Park. There is also a fourth pass; the Single Park Pass, worth $22 for one year and $40 for two. This is just if you want to revisit this park again and again, in which to pay the fees off, you'll need to visit this park at least three times (specifically the Somersby Falls and the Girrakool area).

Get around[edit]

See[edit]

  • 1 Staples lookout, Woy Woy Rd, Kariong. Overlooking down at the towns of Woy Woy, Koolewong and sometimes Saratoga beside mountains, it's one of the few places where a mix of nature and human intervention is seen.
  • Warrah lookout.
  • Bulgandry Art Site Aboriginal Place.

Do[edit]

Buy, eat, drink, and sleep[edit]

There are no places to buy, eat, drink nor sleep in the park, but given that the park is within a 5 km (3.1 mi) range from major towns and cities such as Gosford or Woy Woy, accommodation is never too far away.
