The Director is responsible for all vehicle access roads and tracks within the park. Road access into the park is limited to one major sealed road, the Jervis Bay Road (sometimes referred to as Naval College Road). Alternative fire trail access for emergencies and management purposes is via Hyams Beach Fire Trail and Harmony Haven Fire Trail. Other sealed vehicle access roads in the park include the Cave Beach, Wreck Bay, Green Patch/Iluka and Bristol Point Roads. Unsealed vehicle access trails include Ellmoos Road, extending from Jervis Bay Road near the park entrance and ending at Sussex Inlet and Stoney Creek Road, which provides access to Cape St George lighthouse, Moes Rock, Stoney Creek and Steamers Beach carparks.

Four-wheel-drive vehicle access trails throughout the park can be used by vehicles only for management purposes. Most are accessible to the public as walking tracks and are signposted accordingly while some are designated as 'Authorised Persons Only'. Established vehicle access tracks have been rationalised and rehabilitated where no longer required.

Access to dangerous cliffs in the park is closed. Viewing areas are provided off the Governors Head walking track, at Cape St George lighthouse and for walking and fishing off Stoney Creek Road at Moes Rock and Stoney Creek. Access is provided off Ellmoos Road to six prawning areas in St Georges Basin in NSW. This area is unsuitable for launching vessels.

Sealed public carparks are located at Green Patch, the Booderee Visitor Centre, Booderee Botanic Gardens and Iluka. Unsealed carparks are located at Bristol Point, Murrays Beach, Cape St George lighthouse, Stoney Creek, Moes Rock, the prawning grounds along Ellmoos Road, Steamers Beach and Cave Beach.

Cyclists are able to use vehicle access roads and vehicle tracks in the park and tracks for walking and riding unless use is prohibited by the Director. Establishment of dedicated cycleways may increase the park's attractiveness for cyclists, provided links to adjacent areas in NSW were in place to ensure safe access.

Murrays Beach boat ramp is one of the few major regional boat ramps providing access to the waters of Jervis Bay and beyond. The boat ramp carpark was previously an excavation for a nuclear power reactor. A master plan to rectify drainage, public safety, boat ramp access issues and to improve public amenity (whilst maintaining important ecological values of the site) was prepared during the life of the first plan and will be progressively implemented.

An area in the park's northern waters known as Darling Road is a designated anchoring and mooring area for Defence vessels (including submarines) and all vessels undertaking Defence activities. Access to other marine areas
