The most beautiful view : Nice big area ,shady trees : Plenty of fire wood. Bit busy at times with passer-bys(locals) but friendly and not an issue . Dam wildlife excellent ,good walking tracks ,swimming,canoeing or just kick back and relax : Would definitely recommend: last bit of the track a bit bumpy but RVs and camper-vans making it in !

Lovely outlook. But agreed with other campers- feels very isolated so personally would not camp alone. The spot is about 15km down the dirt road, with the dam being the furtherest right hand fork at the end of the road. We only had a short overnight so no chance to explore but seems it would have some lovely bushwalking/4wd-ing around. Plenty of firewood around if the season/restrictions suits. Unsure if others have but I wouldn’t swim in the dam as it seems pretty stagnant. Lovely to look at though.

Peaceful, quiet and beautiful. This is the perfect Bush camp with easy access. There are lots of tracks to walk and the lake is amazing for swimming. There are no facilities as this is a Bush camp but there are a few concrete tables and fire pits. Ps. If you have a 4wd you can take it up the back and round to the clearing which has incredible views overlooking the lake and it’s surroundings.

    They say life is better around the campfire. And we could not agree more.  Over the years due to increase fire risk it's become a challenge to find great campsites that allow you to have a fire by your tent.  Please be a responsible Aircamper and brush up on your fire safety knowledge. Bushwalking NSW has a great article that'll give you the rundown on how to light a fire responsibly. Below we've collected some hidden gems near Nangar National Park, NSW that still allow you to sit back, toast your feet and incinerate some marshmallows while telling stories about camping when you were a kid.
