Camping at Old Ford Reserve, Megalong Vallley

I have not been there Snolly, but a sealed road may be OK.

SparlingAventures Blog shows their truck and trailer there (which was probably the one you saw), but on another forum most advise not to take a caravan and to stay in Blackheath to do day trips.

Snolly,

Never camped at the Reserve, but been past it plenty of times. Fair bit of room there, but think it used to get pretty crowded at school holiday and on long weekends.



As MH says, it's all bitumen as far as the Reserve, but there are a couple of tight bends, read here "hairpin bends", closer to Blackheath. While road is 2 lane, you would have to watch for people coming up the Glen a bit quickly, who might think they have a right to your lane, as well their own.



With the Troopy towing your van, I don't think you'd have much of a problem, as long as you took it steady for the first km or so off Shipley Road. Would suggest you give the horn a blast before each of the hairpin beds, but as most, if not all motorists travel with their windows wound up, the warning would no doubt fall on "deaf ears".

Enjoy it down there Snolly! It's one of Mother Nature's little wonders. Have some fond memories of the place..........

There are plenty of horse properties down there. They get their horse trucks in and out OK.
