The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) launches a special offer today (21 April), making mid-week trips the new weekend in the NSW wilderness.
Minister for the Environment, Matt Kean said that to encourage mid-week visitors to National Parks, NPWS was giving people the opportunity to save 50 per cent on selected full-priced campgrounds, and 25 per cent on selected full-priced cabins and cottages.
“With NSW National Park stays in high demand on weekends, mid-week is the ideal time to experience the unique, secluded feeling of waking up surrounded by nature, without the crowds,” Mr Kean said.
“I’m encouraging everyone to escape for an affordable short break or even consider embarking on a longer road trip to discover the lush rainforests, pristine coast and vibrant country heritage that NSW has to offer,” he said.
“Some of the popular locations where there is expected to be high demand include pitching a tent at either Gambells Rest campground in the bushland of the Southern Highlands, Sheepstation Creek campground among World-Heritage listed rainforest on the far north coast, or beside a flowing river at Gloucester River campground at Barrington Tops.”
Mr Kean said people could also book cottages or cabins at Cape Byron, the Wombeyan Caves and Hill End.
He said the offers were available until 16 September when people booked their stays for mid-week, between Monday and Thursday.
The full list of participating campgrounds and accommodation, including information on how to book a stay, can be accessed at this PS News link.
