Guichen Bay Conservation Park (formerly the Guichen Bay National Park) is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia overlooking Guichen Bay located in the gazetted locality of Mount Benson about 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) north of the town centre of Robe.[2][5]
The conservation park consists of land in sections 360, 361, 555, 575 and 576 in the cadastral unit of the
National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972.[8] Section 555 was added to the conservation park on 9 September 1976 followed by Sections 575 and 576 on 21 March 1991.[6][7] As of 2018, it covered an area of 1.27 square kilometres (0.49 sq mi).[4]
The following statements sourced respectively from the conservation park’s management plan and the now-discontinued

The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.[1] In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.[9]
