A nature-filled night of camping and outdoor activities is easy and fun at Centennial Parklands.

This authentic camping experience just 10 minutes away from the CBD, is a special way to bond with family. Centennial Parklands shows you all the delights of camping; you will enjoy a twilight tour, campfire stories, sleeping under the stars and much more!

Throughout the year, our program will have different themes.

September - Trails and Tracks... who lives in the park?

Learn to read the park like no one else and find out who lives in the nest, burrows, and boxes and who loves to eat what!

September campers are in for a treat as we set up camp in the Ian Potter Wild Play Garden for a truly special camping experience.

October - Halloween Time ...

Join us around the camp fire for some story of drop bears, bunyips and other creature that might be found in Australia! Don't forget to bring you dress up and you might be in for a treat!

November - Bush Food Bash
