Hi folks,
We are planning a 2-night camping trip to the Pilliga area, so I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on the various camping spots - Schwagers
Bore, Aloes etc.
Much appreciated,
Ade & Liz

Hi Ade and Liz
There's a big reserve on the Namoi River on the road between Pilliga and
Burren Junction - lots of
places to put up a tent and the camper - no facilities whatsoever. Just don't
camp there if it looks like rain - black soil tracks and a mushy gravel road back into either town. The
bore baths at Burren are very popular with campers but can get very crowded.
MM me if you want to - I live in
Tamworth and work out that way fairly regularly
Cheers

John T,
your right about the
bore baths being a popular spot, but I'm not sure if they are open at the moment, they were closed a while back when i passed there, and i went past there last Thursday and there wasn't a soul there.so if Ade and Liz or anyone else is keen on going there just give
the Junction city hotel in
Burren Junction a ring to find out if it is open.Cheers,enjoy your trip the country is nice and green out that way now.
