There used to be a campground called Penrose Park out near Silverton. I was out there in 2003 and had a look at the place and found it to be quite large and spacious. I'm Taking the 5yo grandson out there in July and wondered if it is still operating?
Secondly is the Top Hut Road open (to public) from Mungo NP out to the Wenworth/Menindee Road? If it is it would save me a lot of back tracking thru Mildura and then to Broken Hill.

It certainly is still operating.

Dave B (BHQ NSW) is organising the ExplorOz National Gathering 2011 at Penrose Park.

hi, we stayed there a year and a half ago, i must admit we were a bit disapointed, there are only a couple of powered sites and if you wanted a powered site near any trees for shade then you need a very long extension lead (it was 38 -45 deg for the 10 nights we stayed there). yes it is a big place, bit run down in parts and good in others, but if you are looking for non powered sites then you can pick your spot (as long as you don't mind a fair walk to the toilets). some people seem to love it others not to keen, i think it's a horses for courses sort of place.
