Jellybean Pool — Local services in Blue Mountains National Park

Such a wonderful place to spend a few hours on a hot summer's day. Great location for families, or hanging out with friends. Driving into the jellybean pool car park is narrow, so drive slow and watch out for on coming traffic. Be considerate of other drivers. There are 2 car parks. Although be aware that there is very limited space in both locations. It is a little further of a walk from the overflow car park to the jelly bean pool but nothing to really complain about. Its a slight steep walking path to the pool but still easy for younger kids to walk down (just take it slow and watch your step). In the middle of the day there is limited shaded areas in the pebble sandy beach or on the boulders, great for sun baking at this time but in the later afternoon there are heaps of shaded spots. The water during summer is a luke warm to slightly cool temp (just perfect, I think). For the younger kids the shallow sandy banks are perfect for them to hang out and play in the cool water. And for stronger swimmers the depth deepens further inside the pool. There were locals jumping into the pool further down stream from a massive boulder, it was great to watch. PLEASE BE AWARE!!!...There are no toilets, or bins to dispose of rubbish here. So be considered and take rubbish bags with you. This is a beautiful place which we need to take care of. DONT LEAVE YOUR RUBBISH HERE!!!!! (As shown in a photo) so sad to see how 'SOME' people spoil something so beautiful. There is a park fee entry fee ( $8 Aud - when we went) don't think we should complain about this fee as this helps to pay for the rangers to maintain the place clean from all the idiots which come and leave their garbage behind. I think the rangers are doing a great job!!! Also most national parks don't allow dogs in there parks. Some people disobey this rule. There was a dog when we went to the pool and that is not ok. These rules are there to protect both native species of animals and fauna. Don't disobey the law. And personally I don't want to bathe were animals are also swimming. I have a gorgeous dog but she had to stay home cause..... "DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN NATIONAL PARKS!!!!!" We should all treasure the beauty of nature, not just for ourselves but for our next generations...

Located in the Blue Mountains, Jellybean Pool is a natural water pool. During holidays this place is crowded, sometimes with more people than the place can hold. There are two parking spots and each can hold 15-20 cars approximately. The entry to the area is ticketed with A$8 and there is a ticket counter near the first parking spot (which was closed when we visited) and Two kiosks for taking tickets. The road from the first car park to the second one, which is few metres away from the pool, is a narrow one and traffic get jammed occasionally. Since the number of car parks are limited, getting a spot is difficult during summer holidays. The pool area is small and is deep at the middle. During summer the flow of water is very limited and water quality becomes bad. Though the water is muddy, almost everyone gets into the water for swimming and water play. There are toilets near the first parking area, but no shower area. It’s a pity that one cannot have a shower after a swim in...

Great swimming spot. Has shallow areas perfect for the littler ones and gets deeper further out. Lots of people jumping off the rocks and further upstream but def check the bottem as there maybe rocks or shallower parts unexpectedly. Lots of shade but bring some if you can as it gets quite busy and the sand gets really hot! The road down is narrow so take care. The bottem carpark (closest to river) has about 20 spaces and fills up quick, but theres more parking further up... which would be a big hike uphill on the way back. The stairs to the river are quite steep and there are no toilets nearby. Take a picnic and make a day of it, rubbish bins are atop the stairs. Lots of lookouts close by to drive to and...
