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.

Been camping here for 30 years big open free camp ground Gets very busy on long weekends and holiday Hot in summer but great for fires in winter It's our go to place when everything is booked Defenitly worth the trip
One of the best free camps in the mountains! Good well maintained long drops. Beautiful camping amongst the escarpment. Industrial ruins walk to be had, for a longer walk you can head to the glow worm tunnels. Around 4-5hrs. Gets extremely busy on holidays!!! The hotel has a paid field you can book and also cabins to book too. Accessible for 2 and 4wds

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.
