Dalmorton Camping area, can anyone comment on it?

A better spot in the same region would be the Mann river rec reserve. Closer to Glen Innes, bitumen most of the way and plenty of waterholes to play in. I was there last weekend and found it very good.
The rest of the old Grafton road was in good condition. I had a quick look at the campground at Dalmorton and though it looked ok was glad I'd stayed at the Mann. The Mann reserve is free as well.
Great views from Tommy Rock lookout if you have a 4wd. Access from Narrow pass fire trail.

or Cloud's Creek near Nyboida. Free camp and near the canoeing centre on the road from Armidale to Grafton.

Hi Mark,
There have been a couple of positive comments on these pages in recent weeks re the caravan park at Jackadgery west of Grafton on the Gwyder Highway.

The Mann River Caravan Park is under new management, according to a google search, so might be worth consideration.

Cheers, Bruce.

we stayed at Dalmorton a few weeks ago, if you plan to take a camper trailer then IMHO the sites are mostly not suitable for them (on big slopes and very small) but there were 2 sites that you could get a camper trailer set up on no worries (just hope the largest one doesn't have a small dome tent set up on it like when we visited there). on the other hand, the large grassey area for tent camping that is bollarded off is quite nice though, fairly flat and a couple of fire rings with logs to sit on etc..amazingly it was empty whilst we were there. the place would make a good escape for a weekend, but there isn't a whole heap to do there really.
the drive along the Old Grafton / Glen Innes Rd is scenic the whole way, well worth doing IMHO. the road itself was in very good condition when we drove it, due to how windy the road is allow to be doing 30 - 40 kph along most of it as you can't see around the blind corners.
if you checkout my trip report i did on our 4wd clubs forum, it will give you an idea of what's along that road to see http://forum.themotleycrew.com.au/index.php?topic=865.0 Day 4 is where we head to this area, apparently it's not a convict built tunnel you drive through along the road, was built by a road crew at a later date instead so i have since found out.
