Description

NO ACCESS from South Western Hwy Spend a few hours, or a few days, exploring the waters of the Deep River at Fernhook Falls. The mood of the Deep River at Fernhook Falls depends on the season. In winter, the water gushes furiously over the granite boulders creating a whitewash of froth. In summer, the flow is reduced to a trickle and Rowell's Pool is a calm, tranquil place. Walktrails and boardwalks have been designed to give you a great view of the cascading falls and pristine forest while allowing universal access to parts of the site. The boardwalks have been constructed to protect the vegetation around the pool while still allowing the natural passage of native fauna through the forest. You can camp in one of eight tent sites or two camp huts at Fernhook Falls, near the river and tucked away in the forest. Due to their popularity, please limit your stay to a maximum of three nights in the camp huts. Caravans are not permitted. Camping fees apply and are payable on site. Bookings are not available for this campground. Campfires are usually permitted, in the provided fire rings only, between April 15 and November 30 but fire restrictions may be imposed at any time and without notice. Bring your own firewood. Pets are not permitted.
