Want to explore ?

You can choose your adventure at Kentlyn Reserve.

Enjoy an easier walk along Old Ford Road to the Georges River or tackle the steeper track to The Basin for beautiful views, a waterfall and natural swimming hole, the finest natural swimming hole within our Campbelltown reserves!

Basin Walking Trail: 1km one way.

The track is signposted, with the entrance accessible from the right-hand side of the carpark. The path is unsealed, loose and rocky in places. Approximately a kilometre of the track is flat, leading to a section of steep stairs. Take your time and you’ll be rewarded with views out over the stunning Kentlyn Basin. There are spots to stop and take in the view, but there are no barriers or fences so take extra care along those sections. You will need to climb those same steep stairs on the way back to the car, so ensure you save some energy for the walk up.

Old Ford Walking Trail: 1.3km one way.

Established sloping track, suited to all fitness levels.

Wild things to discover

Keep your eyes open as you explore the reserve. It’s home to an incredible variety of native plants and wildlife, from the rare nodding geebung to koalas, possums, gliders and goannas. Look to the trees and you might also spot colourful birdlife and impressive termite nests.

Keep an eye out for rubbish in the wild. Please remember to take all rubbish with you and keep this beautiful place wild and pristine for more people and future generations to enjoy.
