One threatened and nine rare plant species have been recorded from the seven vegetation communities in Basket Swamp National Park and there are a further twenty six plant species of significance in the park. The park also supports a multitude of wildlife, including the endangered brush-tailed rock wallaby and the vulnerable spotted-tailed quoll.
The park is part of the former Jukambal tribal grounds, and lies within the area covered by the Moombahlene Aboriginal Land Council. The adjoining Woollool Woolloolni Aboriginal Place holds great significance to local Aboriginal people.
Recreational use of the park is limited to scenic driving, bird watching and bushwalking due to its remote location and provision of other visitor opportunities in nearby national parks, state forests and the Woollool Woolloolni Aboriginal Place.
