Campbell Rhododendron Gardens

Description

Here you'll find a unique display of exotic rhododendrons, azaleas, maples and deciduous trees, planted amongst Australian native eucalypts and bushland covering 18.3 hectares (45 acres).

Open all year round, the Gardens are especially spectacular from late September to mid-November when the magnificent rhodo flowers range from pinks to yellows to purples. Through April, the autumn colours of the deciduous trees are glorious, and later, the bare branches create sculptural patterns against the native shrubs.

The Lodge Rhodo Tea Room is open for five weeks during the peak season (October to early November), serving the best 'Aussie Cream Teas' in the Blue Mountains and selling unique Rhodo souvenirs.

Allow an hour to stroll the easy walking tracks, or take your picnic basket and rug down to the valley and enjoy this gem of the Blue Mountains with family and friends. Dogs are allowed on leads. If walking is a problem, there is an accessible lookout near the Lodge.

The Gardens are off the Great Western Highway and within walking distance of the railway station. The Gardens are managed entirely by Volunteers who depend on your generosity to maintain these Gardens.
