Hi Cokeaddict,

Give the following website a go, we have stayed here, not free but very cheap, has toilets and there are showers at the main office area but that is generally a fair distance, if you have a 12v shower then your set.

Have a look, good place when its not a holiday weekend!

Yep thru the tunnel sharp right bend then you are on the Killikrankie pass. the place at the bottom on the river is Goodmans Ford....There is a good camping area at Wombeyan itself which is reasonably priced.
This is a nice spot too, sensibly priced right on the river with all amenities...

On another outdoor forum I frequent, discussion about a month ago said there was no water in the river? Any updates?

Hi Coke

I would not take new campers to Wollondilly River Station as a first off experience. I have enjoyed going there twice and would go again but know what to expect. Its basic in the extreme but pretty just the same and can be cold was
-6 and didnt get to 6 until way past 10 so look for which side of the river the sun will hit first if you decide to go there. I had uploaded some photos to this site you will need to scroll down the albums to get to Wollondilly which was our first camp trip after many years.

A better option for newies is Wombeyan Caves and you can camp there. They have a big shower and amenities block. A Camp Kitcheon and dinning room. If there are kids involved wallabies are around and kids love the caves, also lots of area for push bike riding. We one time stopped in the bunk rooms with a group of line dancers and turned the dinning room into a dance party with the fire roaring and had a great night.

You do need to take your own wood in though.

Have a good time.

Hey Angelo.... we went through there a couple of years ago.... the camping at Wombeyan Caves looks good, we didn't camp that time but may do next time. Amentities looked clean and the place itself is very nice!

Cheers

Thanks to everyone who replied......some good tips from most and i have taken notes. Might go down there tomorrow (ANZAC DAY) just to get out of the house.

Cant recall it ever being as cold as some stated though, maybe we were teenagers then and we didnt take any notice of the weather as much as we do now.

Although in all honesty, we used to spend the Queens Birthday Weekend there (June) and we always survived it ok. Lots of fire wood there then. USed to take the trail bikes too, had us a blast, doubt you can use them there now though. But....ill sus it out tomorrow and report back to my never before been camping friends to see if its still on or not.

Thanks again guys

A bit of triva the tunnel is the shortest hand cut road tunnel in the world

the other replys have answered your question

we used to camp there in the 60s & 70s but to many poeple most week ends now

Limeburners flat is a bit further but normally the same as in the late 70s

Update on my original post.
Today I left home at 6am, headed down to Wollondilly River Station to see how different the place is. Well, what can i say.... last time there was 22 years ago, we could camp anywhere we wanted and ride trail bikes too, basically, we could do what we wanted without rules.
Unfortunately, its all changed now. I spoke to Brian and asked him some questions and although he seemed a nice man, I just felt there were too many rules. So I decided to take a drive through the camp sites to see what its like. Seemed to be too cramped between campers, and there were heaps there too, for my money they were too close together.

So i had time to play and i decided to head down to Womeyan Caves, Well...what can i say. It was fantastic. Truly increadably set up and organised. I liked it so much, I am heading back down next weekend to do some cave exploring.
I decided to head out heading towards Goulburn, Much nicer run that way but added a lot to my trip home. But now i know what to expect and I will be heading back in via Mittagong and back home the same way next time.

Thanks to all for your help, I enjoyed the drive today, was so peacefull alone..just me and Stevie Ray Vaughan CD.
