Has anyone been to the campsite at Peacock Creek, in the Richmond Ranges Northern NSW - recently?
It is located west of Kyogle, and NE of Bonalbo in the National park.
Would like some feedback on camping there - areas to camp, walking tracks, how crowded, etc.
Thinking of taking the Patrol & offroad van in. Was told the internet info is not quiet accurate, and campers/vans are OK.

(I have found the Govt pages, and the ExplorOZ - all limited info.)

Thanks.................................Keith

keith, i was there a couple of months ago, nice grassy open camp area with a large open shelter and fire place. no problems for camper. as it is near a state forest it sometimes gets a few bike riders camping so it can be noisy. a quiet sheltered and shady camp not far from there that has some nice walking tracks is "iron pot creek' camp ground in the toonumbar national park near the dam.

We have camped there a couple of times and it can be nice as described above.Motor Bikes can be a problem if you catch a bad weekend.
Toonumbar Forrest Drive is a nice run through to the Dam and you can also travel the Lions Den Road up into the Border ranges through Symmes Road.There are plenty of tracks around the area. The road into the camp ground is gravel and no problems.Only would be a problem if you have heavy rain. Have a good camp.
