Lane Cove River Tourist Park, Camping facility in Macquarie Park, Australia
Lane Cove River Tourist Park is a camping ground with 206 sites for tents, caravans, and motorhomes set within Lane Cove National Park. The facility provides essential amenities including showers, toilets, wireless internet, power connections, and a swimming pool for all campers.
The camping grounds have been in operation since the 1940s when they first began serving visitors. Official amenity buildings were constructed in 1968, and NSW National Parks took over management in 1998.
The camping ground connects visitors with Australian wildlife in their everyday setting, where native birds like kookaburras and lorikeets appear throughout the day. This proximity to nature shapes the daily rhythm of the place and turns time spent here into a genuine encounter with local animals.
The site sits directly along the river and offers natural shade through thick vegetation, which is particularly welcome during hot months. Proximity to nature means campers should be prepared for local wildlife and be aware that animals are most active in early mornings and evenings.
The location served as a filming location for the Australian television series Home & Away between 2009 and 2014. Fans of the show can today walk through the same spots and explore the landscape that appeared in many episodes.
