Newnes campground
No vehicle access! It's a long, roughly 10km walk to reach Newnes campground. The campground is walk-in only because Wolgan Road has collapsed and there's a landslip risk at Wolgan Gap. Wolgan Road was the only vehicle access into the valley and is managed by Lithgow Council.

I could not recommend this place enough. Absolutely stunning. Quiet. Incredible. The only downside is the people. If you are going to fill up the fire pit with rubbish...and I mean literally fill it. Then you don’t belong in places like this. You will ruin it for everyone. TAKE YOUR RUBBISH WITH YOU!

Gorgeous mountain view! FYI - water is not located on site, you will have to walk/ drive to the entrance to top up if you need to :)
One of my favourite campsites, there’s a lovely walk and it’s so picturesque. We went during off peak times and it was quiet and clean. Can’t wait to return
Such an amazing campground. Local history is amazing. Blows your mind what people were capable of creating back then. Great spot mid week. I had the place to myself bar the wallaby’s, kangaroos, wombats and possums. Can’t wait to get back there.

You can usually but there might be a fire ban when you go. Make sure to check before you plan your trip. I’d also bring my own firewood as the shop doesn’t always stock it. by Casey F.
