There are a wide range of walking opportunites in Mutawintji National Park.

The scattered remains of fireplaces, stone flakes and grinding stones on the flat plains provide evidence of the day-to-day life of those who lived here.

In recognition of the ongoing significance of the area to Aboriginal people, Mutawintji National Park was formally handed back to its traditional owners in 1998. The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service works with the Board of Management to oversee the parks operation. Mutawintji Historic Site can only be accessed with an accredited guide.

There are several picnic areas located within the park.

Homestead Creek Camping Area provides basic level camping facitlies, including fireplaces, bins, septic toilets, solar showers and water.
