Campbell Rhododendron Gardens

Peaceful walk and dog friendly! $5 donation on entry (accept both cash and card). Despite visiting in early winter, still managed to see and smell some flowers. There are inclines, steps and slopes but all pretty manageable

We visited the garden today with a big family and had a great experience. The entry fee was $5 per person, and kids entered for free. It was definitely worth visiting—whether you live around Katoomba or are stopping by after exploring the Blue Mountains. It was a very busy Sunday afternoon, but the atmosphere was lovely. The flowers were in full bloom, and the vibrant colours of the rhododendrons were simply amazing to see. The small lake and plenty of seating areas were a nice bonus, making it a relaxing place to unwind and enjoy the scenery. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. The only downside was that the bins in the toilets were full, the floor was quite wet, and there was a strong odour in the men’s toilet—perhaps because it was close to closing time. Still, that’s something that could easily be improved.

An interesting and unique garden with exotics planted amongst the existing native eucalyptus trees and shrubs over 18 hectares. It is on uneven terraced terrain with ponds, lake, garden bridges, and lots of rhododendron, azaleas and others. Plenty of walking tracks with native birds and small animals. Facilities include toilets, picnic benches and shelters, parking. While free to enter, donations are invited for maintenance which is done by a local society. Very popular especially in spring when there are plenty of blooms. Lots of tourists and locals in spring. Fair bit of walking on uneven terrain around under shade mainly. You can spend several hours here depending on your interests. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Beautiful place. Lots to see. Parking is easy during off peak times. There's a great cafe with lovely menu on offer.

Lovely garden to have a stroll. We stayed nearby so we had the privilege to visit during the day and also very early in the morning when the whole Blackheath is still asleep. In the early hours only some birds shared the entire estate with us until we were on our way out. Some volunteers were already up early, started their green thumb magic. It's a highly recommended visit in Blackheath.

This garden is good for relaxation. Lots of spots and benches to have little picnics all over the garden. Tall trees, colourful trees. Went during autumn, got a chance to see different colours of trees. Carry water with you, I couldn’t find drinking water points anywhere.
