Bald Rock campground and picnic area
Highlights
- Spark up the provided barbecues for a delicious pre-adventure nibble in tranquil bush settings.
- Savour a shady picnic spot while enjoying the serene atmosphere at Bald Rock campground.
- Cycle through vibrant flowering plants on scenic trails, immersing yourself in the stunning granite landscape.
- Access walking tracks leading to Bald Rock, Australia’s largest exposed granite rock, for breathtaking views and exploration.
Tranquil bush settings provide thoroughly enjoyable camping spots to base your journey. Just spark up the barbecues provided for a pre-adventure nibble, or savour a shady picnic spot.
From here you can easily access walking tracks to the water-streaked centrepiece that is Bald Rock’s dome – the largest exposed granite rock in Australia.
Don’t forget your bike helmet either; you’ll be traversing through a palate of brightly coloured flowering plants on the cycling trails, as they lighten the woodlands of this granite environment.
