Camping around Mudgee

Goulburn River National Park was nice. Turn off at Wollar and there was good clear camping, but take your own wood.

Lake Burrendong is great although the water levels arearound 20% at the moment with the full range of powered, unpowerd sites. You can elect to camp in many areas around the dam with good hot water showers.

At the other end ot eh dam is Mookerawa, you get there by going through Stuart Town.

Lake Windermere is OK and the water is up around 25% now, some good fishing, as there is at Burrendong.

Haven't stayed at Turon as we haven't checked it out properly, itmay be a bit pricey, but I am unsure about that.

Our intention is to have a look at Newnes to check it out directly as sometimes misinformation gets around, I've been a bit slow off the blocks with that one.

A place called Windeyer is about 40km out of Mudgee towards Bathurst is quiet with a pub next door and plenty of room for the kids to play around, if you have them, but there is no mobile communications. Ownership has reverted back to previous owner and I cannot sy what his attitude is either.

There are photos in places.

Turon River National Park has 2 designated campspots; The Diggings and Woolshed Flat. The Diggings has a pit toilet, Woolshed Flat doesn't. Between the 2, The Diggings is the pick. A large area that would support many people and right on the River

You access it from Lochaber Rd, just north of Capertee. At about 1 km into the park proper, there's a Y junction. Take the right fork. This decends into the valley. There's a couple of creek crossings.

I'd advise against a 2WD takling this track. A softroader could do it with care. For a legit 4WD in high range, it would be fine.

Cheers.
