About Griffiths-Priday Ocean State Park

Griffiths - Priday Ocean State Park is a state park on the southern bank of the Griffiths River in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The park stretches from the beach and the low dunes along the river, then north to its mouth. It also includes a designated wildlife reserve and a small stretch of beach at the north end.

The park owes its existence to Judge Griffiths, who in the late 19th century bought the original 117 hectares from his father, who wanted to create a park for everyone after his death. He decided that the park should be named after his foster parents, who brought him to America from England as a child.

Day - Use accommodations include camping, hiking, fishing, picnicking, canoeing, kayaking, boating, swimming and fishing. Over the years, the park has accommodated more than 100,000 visitors, most of them tourists from all over the world, on campsites.

The park has a long history of working with the local community and the states of New York and New Jersey, as well as local businesses.

The car park can accommodate up to 37 cars and three campers, and the parking lot has had toilets for more than 30 years, according to the park administration.

The facility is located on the west side of the SR-109, just south of the town of Griffith, about 800 m north of Hoquiam. Turn left onto SR 109 which will take you to Ho Quiam, 21 miles north, and then right onto I-5 for the rest of your trip.
