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.

This campsite has it all. Wilderness and no phone reception. Wildlife. I’ve seen kangaroos and wallabies, wombats, possums and plenty of birds. Easy 2wd access. Fire pits. Clean drop toilets. Plenty of space to pitch a tent but it can get quite busy at the weekend. I highly recommend this campsite 👍


Great spot with stunning views and great walks. Very busy though for a normal weekend we arrived at 7 am on Saturday morning to find it side by side with campers in the main campground so we opted to hang back from the thick of it which was lovely having an array of wildlife joining us
Very picturesque bush camp sights short drive from Sydney well worth the look

Hi, are there designated fire spots or can we set up fires anywhere?

Hi, is this campsite suitable for caravans as well as camper trailers?
Yes, could even access in a 2wd by Brooke M.
Can we do campfire ??
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.
