Camps around Bourke??

Hi Col,
I don,t know of the north but Fort Bourke is a few klms. south along the Darling river and I have camper there, very few people visit so you should be alone.
Cheers, Nev.

We have camped just south too at the 9 mile weir. I have a pic in my member pics.

How u going Col,

We came up through willcania and bourke last week from S.A ( to Brisbane ), had a great trip. We camped on the Darling South of Bourke, top spot and there was heaps of designated camping areas just south on the Darling. Not sure about North, but I thought it was nicer South.

A bit depends on where you mean by north of Bourke. There are plenty of roads that can fall under that description.

If you are on the Charleville Rd then I can't think of much other than to keep your eyes open for a roadside rest area or a spot where you can get away from the road a bit.

Kidmans Camp CV Park is nice but it's not free.

If you were on one of the lesser roads say Wanaaring or Hungerford you could probably just pull over at the side and swag down for a few hours especially if you were stopping late.

Col,

As you head west from Bourke on the Wanaaring Rd you will see Pera Bore Station on your right. Just back from there on the opposite side of the road there is a car park that they use at Easter for their dawn Easter service. You should be able to get off the road there.

Alternatively once you get onto the dirt, west of Pera Bore the fences get further apart. Might give you a better opportunity to put some distance between yoru swag and the road.

Wish I was coming with you, love that part of the world.

Hi Col.
Just arrived home from 2 weeks in the corner country..
Found a great bush camp 28k east of Bourke on a property called Rossmore Station.A great spot off the road & beside the Bogan river. Heaps of timber for a great camp fire.It costs $10 per car per night.
The property is owned by Bill & Denise Stalley(0427815385) & they gave us a key to explore Mt. Oxley which is approx 14k south of the camp site.It certainly is worth the trip up the mountain.
Have a great time in the corner country, thw whole area is very green
All the tracks in the Sturt National Park are now open & are worth exploring.
We also spent 2 enjoyable nights at Currawinya National Park & had a great counter lunch at the Hungerford pub.

Hi Col.
Road was in good condition although quite dusty(as expected).There were patches of water on the road to the Corner however bypass tracks can be used. If you have time, try the tracks through the northern part of the national park as the scenery is quite fabulous.
Contact me on vincebarnes@netspace.net.au if you require any further info.
