Expression of Interest: Supported Camping in NSW national parks

⁠⁠⁠NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is inviting Expressions of Interest submissions from qualified businesses to provide supported camping services in NSW national parks and reserves.

Project goals

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is inviting Expressions of Interest submissions from qualified businesses to provide supported camping services in select NSW national parks and reserves.

NPWS is offering licences to provide supported camping at 23 campgrounds across 16 national parks and reserves. Camping support services may include tent or caravan hire and/or setup, equipment and bedding hire, and optional food and related offerings.

Scope

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) submissions from qualified businesses to provide supported camping services in select NSW national parks and reserves.

NPWS is offering licences to provide supported camping at 23 campgrounds across 16 national parks and reserves. Camping support services may include tent or caravan hire and/or setup, equipment and bedding hire, and optional food and related offerings.

Research tells us that in New South Wales, 62% of adults are already campers or are open to trying camping. Notably, around 10% have never camped before but are keen to try. They are drawn to travel and nature but lack the necessary equipment or experience. By offering a service that provides fully set-up camping gear, we can make camping more accessible, encourage more people to explore the outdoors, and help them gain confidence.
