Anybody stayed here? It is just off Mitchell Highway near enough half way between Orange and Bathurst. It is a beautiful grassy hillside free camp. There is NO fee & appears to be no time limit.

We just love this location. We have been there several times. The man running the place is a bit of a grumpy fella but he stays out of your way. You are on the beautiful Wollondilly River, in your own area, not stacked up against others. Easy vehicle and caravan/camper access. Very basic facilities bu...

The free camp at cooktown is very dissapointing, you must have not only a black water tank but also a grey water tank and your van will be inspected by a very zealous ranger. If you meet the requirements you can stay for 2 nights. It is also on a dirt road that carries a lot of traffic making a lot of dust and no...

we love the travel bit.....by road, and more often by air. ( have own aircraft, aviators for yrs and yrs ) anyway, as a consequence, we've called into many a country airstrip, and use same locations when on the road, they often have perfectly clean toilets ( if you need them ) often a water tap, quiet away...
