Inverell/Bingara Area - where to go at Xmas?

If you are going to the copeton dam, the camp on the northern foreshore is great $10 per nite powered, but I would give them a call first to see if u can be catered for at this time of year. Bingara camps are great but can be a bit hit n miss for a spot (ESP in the busy silly season) & there's no way to gauge availability there until you turn up.

Thanks Jack Biggles - but i believe the Northern Foreshore doesn't allow dogs, so it's a no go for us.

We might try Bingara and keep our fingers crossed for a decent spot.

BTW do you know if there is a time limit at the camps furthur up the river, i know that the ones in town have a 7 day limit?

Cheers

There were dogs at the northern foreshore bout feb/march this year when I was passing thru. I think they allow responsible owners of small dog to camp but must be on lead. I see camps book has no symbol for this. Perhaps worth a quick call to the caretaker. As for 7 days @ camps along the river, I recall seeing a sign at one of the larger spots but no others. There were other camps with people that had been there for months. I only stayed 3/4 days @ 2 different camp before heading over to the Northern fshore & inverell for supplies. Worse coffee I ever bought!

You could try Rocky creek. we have not been therer for a year or 4 now but it used to be a great spot. On the road from Bingara to Narrabri from memory.

Hi Cris and Peter,

You could try Rose's Farm about 12k out of Bingara on the river. It is a private camp about $10 per night. Dogs allowed.

All suggestions appreciated!!
