Summary

Wilsons Promontory National Park covers the southernmost point of the Australian mainland and is a wonderland of granite headlands, mountains, wild beaches, forests and fern gullies.

The main campsite is Tidal River, 30km inside the park boundary, but there are smaller campsites around the park which can be accessed when doing multi-day walks.

History

Following European settlement, The Prom was used as a sealing station and army training base, amongst others. 

Features

The southern half of the park is the best for bushwalking, with sensational views and a good balance of forest and open headland walking.

Access

Main access is by road from Yanakie (via Meeniyan from the west or north and Foster from the east).  Many visitors choose to cycle in, so watch out for cyclists if you're driving.
