Cottan-Bimbang National Park (occasionally Cottan-bimbang National Park) is a small national park on the border of the Mid-North Coast and Southern New England regions of New South Wales. The national park isn't incredibly popular by any means, other than providing a short stopover for travellers on the Oxley Highway either up or down the giant ascent/descent of the Great Dividing Range.

Although it is a rest area, its location near the edge of a 180° bend has resulted in it becoming an unofficial lookout somewhat popular with photographers. Other facilities here include a public toilet (the only one anywhere in the vicinity) and a barbecue area.
A bush resort and coffee shop.
The park's sole singular campground in the southeast corner of the park. The main appeal to it is its sheer isolation as it's far away from pretty much anywhere.
The only connecting piece of infrastructure is the Oxley Highway that cuts right between the park.
