Description

Cathedral Reserve is on the Mt Irvine Rd on the way out of the Mt Wilson village travelling towards Mt Irvine opposite the Cathedral of Ferns. It is a large open area with Liquidambers along the Mt Irvine Rd and rainforest behind the reserve. The Reserve has two modern composting toilets and campers the choice of camping in the open or amongst the trees. Bollards have been installed to prevent cars driving on the grassed areas and also driving into camping areas so these areas are protected. Car parking areas have been extended to cater for the large numbers of campers and picnickers who use the area. Camping is free and no booking is required. There are toilets, tank water (not suitable for drinking but can be boiled or used for other purposes), fireplaces, picnic tables and garbage bins. Remember to bring your own drinking water, firewood, warm clothes (it gets cold at night), toilet paper and your own camping gear. Dogs are allowed in the Mt Wilson Village and at Cathedral Reserve, however dogs are not allowed in the National Park adjacent to the reserve and village. So walks around the village are ok providing they are not into the National Park. Users are reminded to securely lock up any valuables during their stay.
