Gumma Reserve and Way Way State Forest - Macksville

Norm,

The roads into The Pines Picnic Area in Way Way State Forest are OK.

Depending on the way you are going to get in there the roads can be a bit narrow but you certainly wont have a problem with the Kedron.

The Pines is very shady but the sites to camp are very limited. Its more a picnic spot than a camping spot in my opinion.

I havent actually been to Gumma but my mate who lives at Valla Beach has a few times and reckons its OK as well.

Are you specifically after a freebie spot or not, because there are some nice caravan parks in the area like Grassy Head or Scotts Head or Riverside CVP and North Shore CVP at Mylestom, that aren't that expensive or come a little bit further south and try Kylies Beach or Diamond Head in the Crowdy Bay NP, or Point Plomer south of Crescent Head.

Cheers,

Cruiser

Our friends tow a 25 ft Jayco to Gumma- never have any problems

Have a look at Site Link

You will have no problems whatsoever towing your Kedron into Gumma Reserve.

Nice place to camp - but just a very basic toilet (flushing) amenity.

Right on the banks of Warrell Ck.

Thanks for the info guys.
We are after 'free camps' which is what we prefer. I use the term 'free camp' not to indicate the price (don't mind paying a small fee such as in National Parks). But we do prefer the 'bush camping' type spots to caravn parks.

Gumma Reserve looks like a nice spot for an overnighter and to check it out for a future longer term stay with the boat.

Thanks again.

Lake St Clair near singleton is worth a look to Norm excellent bass.My young bloke got one on fly over 50cm. You do pay but excellent camp ground with 100 hectares and plenty of shade trees. Very pretty lake .
Cheers Pete

HI Norm,

The Way Way State Forest has actually gone over to National Parks (hasn't everything?)

Lovely peaceful spot - we did it in a conventional caravan a couple of years back so you shouldn't have much trouble in a Kedron. Fairly narrow track but not dangerous with reasonable care and a small stream to cross. Shouldn't have much water in it - mildly stoney/pebbly but easy. Definitely worth an overnighter at least.
