camping spots

Hi John & Sally, it is a little way up the road, but I have camped at the Upper Allyn River area in the Barrington region (national park, long drop toilets, picnic tables) beautiful area, about 1 hour past Tocal. I also often go to a camping ground just past Dungog,near Chichester Dam, also about an hour from Tocal, called Ferndale Park. It is private property, and costs $8 pp per night, or $12 pp per night for powered site. Lovely place and Ian (owner) is a nice bloke. I guess it depends on how far you are travelling to see your daughter, is a camp spot that is an hr away of benefit to you? There are plenty of caravan parks in the region if that is what you are after, but I have never stayed at any of them, so couldn't offer an opinion, a few around Raymond Terrace area, about 1/2 hr from Tocal. Hope that helps, Whacker
P.S. No affiliation with Ferndale Park, just happy, repeat camper

Lake St Clair north of singleton is great. One of the most scenic lakes on the mainland. Park has toilets and showers and I think you can buy wood their.Its about $12.00 a night for two. And the bass fishing is brilliant. We are going back up on Saturday
Cheers Pete
