Motorcycle-accessible camping spots within half day of Sydney

Patonga has a ripper little camp ground right down the far end of the peninsula. It can be very busy during holidays and weekends but outside that time it is pretty quiet. Fire was OK last time I was there. Creek frontage. It is a council camp ground with amenities and not really far away from society as you know it but nice.

Hill End is another nice spot. Tar all the way there now if you go via Bathurst on the Turondale road. Rough dirt for about 13 k via Sofala. Not a lot there. Nice pub and a reasonable walk back to the camp ground (300 - 400 metres) National Park so you will need to take your own wood.

Lots of National Parks are OK in designated camp grounds but you have to take your own fuel. Wood is OK if you bring your own or collect it outside the park. This site has all the details for camping in the parks. Some of the more isolated ones you will get the place to yourself. http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/Stay
Nundle, near Tamworth. Nice park or free camps along the river and nearby. Some dirt but good dirt. Not too rough or loose.
Cassilis pub has a camp ground behind the pub. Best of both worlds. You can camp and keep to yourself or camp and eat at the pub. Very quiet but not exactly miles from society. Cassilis is only a sparrow fart of a place. Not many people there.

BP,
Try the Myall River Camp, north of Tea Gardens. You'll get the cruiser in there no worries.

It's 2hr15 from Sydney's northern suburbs.

I used to take my road bike in there. The entry road is less than 1km long good quality dirt/gravel.

They have water, composting dunnies and allow fires. BYO firewood or purchase bags of it from the caretaker.

Enjoy :)

Newnes is nice but probably at least 20 kms of gravel road but easy. Nice scenery, fires ok, drop toilets but busy sometimes. I've been there on my own and also been there when I couldn't find a spot to pitch a tent. You can be unlucky. It's a reasonably big grassed area surrounded by cliffs with a river.
