I am heading up to
Bathurst and would like to find a nice, quiet
riverside camp. The Turon River was suggested to me.
I would prefer away from others, preferably no facilities and I have an off road camper. Oh and fishing if possible.
Can anyone point me to suitable
places? I am not familiar with the area at all.

Enter from
Mudgee rd just 1 km north of Cappertee turn left at (
sign posted Turon Gates) this road and follow the signs to Turon Gates. You can stop at Turon Gates (fee) or continue past it along the river to
Sofala. There are many
free camping opportunities along this road. You will need 4wd after Turon Gates. Camping trailers will get through but noting bigger after Turon Gates.
Beautiful
places all along the Turon & if you are into trout the take your fly fishing gear with you. Not for mug fishermen like me.
Cheers Colin.

Google Turon River NP, if heading towards
Mudgee turn left just past
Capertee sign posted Turon Gates, and turn left about 100 metres down this road from the
Mudgee road, follow this gravel road along the powerline for aprox 1 k and turn left through the fence at the Turon River NP
sign, follow this for a couple of k's it leads down into the Turon River valley, excellent camping all along here to your left and right.

Boobook,
Stayed there a few times and it's a lovely spot. One of the crossings in was washed out in early May however there are two. The pebble crossings are deceptively soft so it's wise to air down.
