NSW National Parks have just completed a survey of interested parties on the adjustment of fees for camping. Their premise is that “the current camping fee system has not been reviewed for many years and is not designed to manage issues experienced in modern campgrounds. The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is proposing changes to make it simpler, fairer and easier for people to use campgrounds in national parks while also addressing campground issues”

Example
For most campers, fees would increase in high season and
pay $68/night in a beachfront campground (tier 6), but with the
proposed tiered system they would pay $89/night in high season
or $54/night in low season.
