Getting there and parking
Get driving directions
Kingfisher Pool campground is located in the middle of Heathcote National Park, north-west of Waterfall train station. The campground itself is positioned about 50m above the tranquil Kingfisher Pool.
To get to there:
- Take the Pacific Highway to Waterfall
- Take the Kooraban Street exit ramp to Waterfall
- Turn right onto Kooraban Street, Waterfall.
- After the ramp, turn right onto Warabin Street, Waterfall.
- Park at the end of Warrabin Street and walk into the park via the signposted Bullawarring track—it’s about a 1.5km/1hour walk (one-way) to get to the campground.
As it's quite a long walk from the park’s entrance to the campground, it's a good idea to bring a Heathcote National Park topographic map.
