ROVER PARK
The fun park in the Bush. Situated on the Great Dividing Range at an altitude of 720m and 35km East of Tenterfield on the Bruxner Highway. Set amongst Australia’s spectacular bushland with access to Cataract River and Crooked creek which boasts it’s own stunning seasonal Waterfall. The area is rich in history and minerals with an old gold mining plant from the late 1800’s nearby. Fossils and other stones of Red and White Rock can be found on the property. We’re a family run park focused on providing a place to relax and unwind in a family and pet friendly environment. We offer 4WD and motor bike riding from beginners up to those more experienced.

FINDING US
390 Rover Park Road Sandy Hill NSW 2372
From Brisbane you can take the back road via Beaudesert and Warwick or the front road down the Highway and up via Alstonville and Lismore. Some maps will take you via Urbenville/Bonalbo, Beware it’s a very rough road so will take a lot longer than expected.
From the South via New England Highway to Tenterfield turn right at Bruxner Highway B60. Once on Rover Park Rd we are 4km’s along the road all the way at the end.
