For families and short-stay travellers the reserve works well as an economical base for exploring the Mitchell Shire — local walking trails, Seymour Bushland Park and the nearby Vietnam Veterans Memorial Walk are all easy to reach. If you prefer serviced sites, the BIG4 Seymour Holiday Park and Ace Caravan Park are a short drive into town and provide powered sites and guest facilities.

Practical tip: bring drinking water, a portable toilet if you prefer privacy, firewood (where fires are permitted check local rules), insect repellent, and a good level book or map — the reserve is a quiet place to unwind but relies on visitors to bring essentials and leave no trace.
