The road to get here was easy & once we arrived we had a choice of spots - it was pretty quiet and plenty of space for our set up. Beautiful surrounds, sounds of birds, dogs loved running around and we got a fire going straight away! There were ammenities but we used our own. Under cover picnic area would be great for people without their own shade. Shame there was quite a bit of rubbish on site, tiny bits of broken glass, cans etc we did a lot of picking up after others. So close to Newcastle, would definitely come back and explore more if we’re down this way again!

Question:

Is it accessible without a 4WD? So car with caravan?

Answer:

The dirt track in is easily accessible by 2WD, ypu just cant get too far into the camp sites so youd be camping near the track/road. And finding a spot for a caravan would be tricky as you're camping within trees. by algebuckina
