Parking at Camden Hospital is free, according to the NSW Health hospital parking app as of Sunday 8 November 2026. The app lists the public rate as free, the concession rate as free, and the car park as open 24 hours. The app lists four bus routes and warns that the walk from the John Street stop is steep. This guide sets out what the app says about parking, the four bus routes and where each one comes from.

Yes, on the app’s account. Both the public rates line and the concession rates line read “Car park is free”, and the parking entry is marked as open 24 hours. The app’s general note that reduced fees are available at every NSW public hospital “where fees apply” does not come into play. The app still keeps the standard line telling people to refer to the enquiries desk at the hospital for more information where fees apply.

Item What the app lists
Opening hours Open 24 hours
Public rate Free
Concession rate Free
Car park entrance Menangle Road
Hospital number (02) 4634 3000

The app gives the hospital’s address as Menangle Road, Camden NSW 2570. Its concession entry repeats the state-wide wording that reduced fees are available to eligible patients and carers at every NSW public hospital where fees apply, and for Camden it lists the concession rate as “Car park is free”. Its note on how to claim says to refer to the enquiries desk at the hospital for more information where fees apply. It also repeats that discounts do not apply to metered street parking or pre-paid parking, and that you must park in a NSW public hospital car park that offers and displays concessional rates where fees apply.

Fees can change. If you are planning a long visit, check the hospital on (02) 4634 3000 before you leave. The app gives no number of spaces, and it names only one car park for the hospital, entered from Menangle Road.

The app lists bus routes 890, 895, 896 and 900, and says where each pair comes from:

Routes Run between
895 and 896 Campbelltown and Macarthur stations, and Camden Hospital
890 and 900 Picton and Narellan, and Camden Hospital

The app names no train station for the hospital; the two stations it mentions are Campbelltown and Macarthur, which routes 895 and 896 connect to the hospital.

How steep is the walk from John Street?

The app says Camden Hospital is approximately a 20 to 25 minute walk from the John Street bus stop, and adds that John Street is steep and may be difficult for people with limited mobility. The app does not say which of the four routes stops at John Street, nor where each route’s nearest stop to the hospital is.

Where can I get help with fares and trip times?

For trip times and fares, the app points to the Transport for NSW website and the information line, 131 500, and our guide to Opal fares and how to pay covers what a trip costs. The app also lists the Taxi Transport Subsidy Scheme, with a link to the Service NSW page.
