These sites are thoughtfully laid out to offer easy access while maintaining a sense of privacy amidst the natural bushland setting. The park’s location ensures that you are waking up to the sounds of nature, with kangaroos and wombats often seen grazing nearby at dawn and dusk.

The facilities at Kosciuszko Tourist Park are tailored to the alpine environment. A large, communal guest lounge featuring a roaring wood fire is the heart of the park in winter, offering a warm and inviting space to relax, share stories with fellow travellers, and dry out gear. The fully equipped camp kitchen includes stoves, ovens, and refrigeration, making meal preparation easy for campers.

In summer, the park transforms into a hiker’s paradise, with several walking tracks starting directly from the grounds, leading you through wildflowers and snow gum forests.
