Hi,
It,s been a long while since I jumped on the
forum...Sadly I had to sell my old van and so that was that.
Well that was then and this is now and thanks to my wonderful sister who bought a brand new Jayco Swift last year it looks like my dream of travelllng is still going to happen. And I am very glad to be back with you all on the
forum.....
So far us girls have only had a few short trips mostly close to
home to get to know the van etc...And then recently we took her to the country music festival in
Tamworth. So now we are ready to go a bit further from
home. We feel confident on the towing etc but we have a question for you.......
My sister said she can,t find any
free camp spots in Parkes and Forbes in her
Free camp book she bought and I thought
well I reckon we should ask the experts .
So I hope you can help.
Cheers

A very nice
camping area just North of Parkes in the
Goobang National Park.
I was there about 8 months ago & had the whole
campground to myself. Nice
picnic shelter & bbq too if its raining.
That was the Wanda Wondong
camp in the North of the park.
Cheers

We have camped there also nd had the park to ourselves. A great spot.
There is a free
overnight camp in the middle of Forbes. You can walk over the
bridge to the CBD. Have stayed here a couple of times.

Have stayed few times in the
free camp beside the water/lake just on south side of the
bridge at Forbes. Great spot, good walk/bike tracks and close to the CBD.

Have you had a look in
Places (button in blue bar across top of page)?
Ponto Falls is in the area you are looking at and it is a pleasant spot - have a look
here
Cheers,
Val.
