Easter usually has camping spots over crowded ! Anyone interested in a new area within Yengo NP just north of Sydney with some fantastic views and some great trails which has only a few people booked there for the easter weekend. The place is called Big Yango at the base of Mt Yengo which has controlled access permitted to the area via a key - available from NPWS at Gosford. A key deposit of $200 is required and camping is approx $4 for kid and around $7.50 for adults. If anyone is interested call NPWS at Gosford on 43204219 - the area has not been promoted as yet and so not many people know of this nice little gem of a place. A number of 4WD clubs already know of the place and are working with NPWS in a volunteer program of provison of access whilst providing management assistance.
What's there - open pasture areas, 4WD trails venturing into remote areas of Yengo NP (not hugely difficult trails), homestead which you can book out, large group camp ground with composting loos that are accessible to wheelchairs, remote camping opportunities, no crowds, no trail bikes, close to Sydney. What it does not have is no swimming holes or fishing spots - oh well can't have it all. If your coming off the F3 freeway at Calga / Peats Ridge it will take you atleast 2 hours to get there from this point. Because Easter is so close you would have to pick the key up from Gosford prior to departure as the post will not get the key to you before this weekend. Have fun if you go.
