[4] As of February 2004, the conservation park covered an area of 303.43 square kilometres (117.15 sq mi).

In 1980, the conservation park was described as follows:[6]A sand plain with irregular dunes and interdune valleys.

The predominant vegetation associations are Eucalyptus incrassata / E. foecunda open scrub, with Melaleuca uncinata callitris verrucose and Xanthorrhoea australis / Banksia ornata / Casuarina pusilla heath.

As yet these have not been identified, documented or assessed for national estate significance by the Commission… Scorpion Springs is a wilderness area providing habitat for a great diversity of species, including the threatened red lored whistler and mallee fowl and the Tasmanian pygmy possum.

This park is in near pristine condition having suffered little grazing and possessing limited vehicular access.
