NSW plans to let private companies run 23 public campgrounds by 2026, sparking debate over access and cost.
The NSW government is considering a plan to let commercial operators reserve sections of 23 public campgrounds in 16 national parks, offering services like gear hire and food packages with early booking up to 365 days in advance.
The initiative, open since early September, aims to boost access for those without camping experience or equipment, citing 62% of adults are interested in camping.
It would affect about 6% of the state’s 365 campgrounds and require licensees to pay annual fees and a share of income.
Critics, including environmental groups and opposition politicians, argue it amounts to privatization, risking affordability and public access.
The program, if approved, would launch in March 2026.
