That's a very scenic track....bitumen for about one third of the distance. Camping can be had at
The Big Hole. That site is closer to
Braidwood and the turn-off is still on the bitumen. The
campground is only about a kilometer off the road. If you have time I'd suggest you walk in to see
the Big Hole. It is about 30 minutes walk (from memory) and you have to cross the
Shoalhaven river on walking stones, fairly close to the
campground. The hole is a giant sink hole. If you're really energetic, there is a further walk you can do to some caves, but I've never been past
the Big Hole myself.
Further down the track towards Cooma/Nelligan, you could turn off to the east and go into the Deua NP. Most people go to that park from tracks on the eastern side around Moruya, but the track from the west is quite challenging. Having said that, I did take the Ultimate camper down into there behind the Patrol, back around 2001. There is one hairpin that you have to do a 3 point turn on (interesting with a trailer on).
Still further down there is the Tuross Falls area......very pretty.
Good luck
