Favourite camping spot

[utedriver]

Mine would have to be anywhere there is no crowds. Last year at the Flinders there was not a soul in the campground in the national park gee it was quiet and dark. Compared to Wilpena Pound where there was school gruops and lots of People
Anywhere in the high country is a another of my favourite camping areas the views are amazing

[Tri_Lon]

i havent been to that many places but i really enjoyed Dargo last easter. bit far for me though lol so round here would have to be up Double Island / Teewah beach.

[grimbo]

Tarpaulin bend in Hattah Kulkyne NP

Mungo

Lindsay Island bush camping along the Murray River

Mt Skene summit in the snow

Fraser Island along the beach anywhere

High Country - The Sisters, Cams Top Place, Chinamans Creek

[minipatrol]

There is a little spot up near Tobacco Flat, Howqua which would have to be my favourite. Not sure if it was affected by the fires recently though.

[Luxster]

Coffs Harbour,without doubt the finest NSW has to offer! It's got the lot,caters for all levels, it's my favourite place!

[Rogue Patrol]

We don't really get to go out much but for me it's Rover park, lots of people at events but plenty of quiet times in between.
Went there for our honeymoon and there was only one family. Nice n quiet...

But then we don't always like to ruff it.....

[KRUZIN]

there a nice spot on the river near goondiwindi called lees reserve.

[gohard60]

Blencoe Falls far nth qld

[Davo1]

Old Warraweena in the Northern Flinders Ranges - heading there in 2 weeks. With all the rain in the last 2 months the flowers should be bloomin'! Can only hope it rains more so I get locked in!!!!

[rumpig]

camped on the beach on fraser island.
how do i know it's my favourite spot, cause even on our 5 week trip up to cape york and back, i was still spewing that i was missing our usual 2 week holiday on fraser.
thats how i know, i kid you not.

[woolgoolgaoffroad]

mmmmm, sorry cant decide between- pebbly beach, nymbodia, under the old ghan railway on the oonadatta track, claytons creek on the birdsville,
barrier ranges, the gorge, on the gorgenia river, dalmortan, mt gilbralter, probably anywhere and everywhere.
Love rover park, emu creek, sorry but the list goes on.

[grimage]

Pickering Flat in the Howqua Hills area on the river, in the Victorian High Country. Great camp spot, great 4WDing, and always good company. What more could you want.

[BMKal]

Thomas River - about 80km east of Esperance

Coffin Bay SA

Lake St Clair Tas.

[FourXfouR]

I like to stay at a place called Bigriggen Park just outside of Rathdowney ( beaudesert way )

Its not a 4wd park but there are plenty of places not far from the site. Including the Condamine Gorge, Cityview etc

[brooksy]

Had the best time as a teenager & early 20's at 5 Rocks.
I basically grew-up at Fraser Is.

Both are unfortunately now more restricted to what they used to be but are still probably 2 of the best places in QLD.

Another place that is very tranquil is Stoney Creek.


brooksy

[campdog]

Any where peaceful. Away from caravan parks and caming grounds and only acessable by 4wd.Need a river or creek as well.

[campdog]

Tarpaulin bend in Hattah Kulkyne NP

Mungo

Lindsay Island bush camping along the Murray River

Mt Skene summit in the snow

Fraser Island along the beach anywhere

High Country - The Sisters, Cams Top Place, Chinamans Creek

Grimbo, what part of this country do you live in.

[stu050]

Anywhere there is few or no people, and the mobile phone doesn't work :D

[utedriver]

here you go Grimbo sorry mate no snow!!

Mt Skene summit in the snow

[Reedy]

I'll have to say 9 Mile beach at 5 rocks, beautiful place and I've woken to many a hangover there!!!:D

[haveago]

anywhere in the buffalo Valley.Stuff all people during the week,and some great tracks to explore,hunting and fishing as well.

[3F62]

"West Kunderang" .....on the head waters of the Macleay river east of Armidale NSW..........

[Jeeps]

I would say

1) Lake Cotharaba. We usually camp at Elanda point so the mrs has amenitites. We were there a month ago and there wasn't another camper for the whole week. Just LOTS of kangaroos i was tripping over them.

2) Fraser beach. The beach campsites are soooo clean and white compared to say double island!

I've got a mate who raves about bigriggen. It's definately worth it eh?

[OGJON]

Riverwood downs Upper Monkerie in the Barringtons NP approx 10ks along a dirt rd west of Stroud

[Juffy]

It was a while ago now, when i was a kid we traveled oz for a couple of months every year, the best place was camping at the base of Ayres rock, waking up and looking at the rock first thing in the morning was something i will never forget.
Something else i will never forget is a guy shooting at us in the middle of nowhere out the back of the northern territory, that was probably the worst place. We felt a lot safer a few days later when we heard that he had been arrested, makes sleeping under the stars allot easier , all those things that go bump in the night...

[woolgoolgaoffroad]

"West Kunderang" .....on the head waters of the Macleay river east of Armidale NSW..........

bloody great spot, and the owners are fantastic too

[sudso]

Flinders Ranges,
Great Australian Bight beaches,
The Coorong (any beach for that matter),
Ngarkat Cons. Pk,
Canunda Cons. Park,
anywhere on the River Murray,
Holidayed in other states but haven't camped in any of them.

[crawla]

anywhere in mountain country...foggy, misty, warm fire, friends and muddy tracks.....and the missus looking over my shoulder just said.....'what about me'!!!!......and you dear!!

[campdog]

bloody great spot, and the owners are fantastic too

One of my favorites, also chandler and stix river. Love the area maybe heading there at easter.

[FourXfouR]

I've got a mate who raves about bigriggen. It's definately worth it eh?


Yeah mate is an awesome spot. Perfect for kicking back and relaxing. Theres a small creek if you wanna try your hand at lure fishing etc

[dirtygq]

i would say awinya creek fraser island peaceful and clean anbd safe with kids.

[2 BRUTAL]

Earlando near Proserpine, right on the reef over looking a few little islands, had some rippa fishing there, but it has since closed due to Marine Park rezoning which effectively shut him down overnight, was a top little caravan park.
Kinkoona, just south of Bundy is nice, same as Double Island and Fraser as far as beach camping goes but a lot less people, and only 1 hour from home

[cruza driver]

mitchells creek in the vic high country great drive in via shepyard flat and also wonangatta when its not a long weekend.

[mrbishi]

River Road Bridge campsite in the middle of Karri country out of Pemberton.

Anywhere along the beach along the south coast in the D'Entrecasteaux national park - feels so wild, remote and desolate and its rare you see many others down there along the 100km or so stretch of coast.

Cheers,
Jon

[shortyMQ]

The campsites in the national park around pemberton were my favourite. Then it all changed and some trees were cut down, and it made it look as though someone had cleared a spot to camp, instead of it being a bit more natural.

Yea its a pity - River Road bridge is still one of the more outa the way ones that not many know about still - feels like your in the middle of the bush right next to the water :D

Cheers,
Jon

[dirtygq]

I had stayed up at mount glorious with work and was a great spot.

[Jeeps]

it's high up there!

[Patrolman Pat]

Somewhere on the banks of the Murray for me. Love waking up to see mist hanging over the river with cliffs and big gum trees looming through the haze at first light.

[FJ40.]

Howqua Valley for me... Mate owns a house up there and its the best place ever (just over the river from Frys hut) and anywhere up there is awesome
- Nonans (theres a double letter in the name of that somewere i think??)
- Sheepyard (sometimes)
- Tobacco (or as we are ment to say 'Intermediate Flat')
- And then all the Mile Flats (4 mile (gardeners hut) , 6 mile , 8 mile ect.. ect..)

[grimbo]

campdog, I live in Melbourne.

Thanks Grimbo, Havent spent that much time that way, so I wasnt familiar with your favorite areas.
I originally came from the riverina and loved Tumut area.

[joshy]

Ive been camping at the cox's river every year for the past 13 years, love it. Just went again last weekend. pretty sure its part of the jenolan forest? some rude hikers down there though past heaps on the way out and only got a gday outa 2.

[leaky]

Davies Plains Hut Camp Ground is my favourite, Vic High Country. Magical spot shared with Gang Gang Cockatoos and not much else. Awesome little camp stove and Billy-holders to use, and a fantastic drive in there.

THen Chilli Beach, Iron Range NP.

Burralow isnt a bad for a local spot. 10 minutes from my place.

Deep Pass is cool also

[allan mac]

Talbotville in the high country. Nice grassy area, pit dunny & right on the river. Added bonus, not far from Dargo Pub & plenty of good tracks in area.

[Mad Cruiser]

I would have to say my favourites are Rainbow beach and Moreton Island. Haven't been to Fraser Island since 2000. My missus is desperate to go to Fraser Island

[GOIN BUSH]

IDE HAVE TO SAY WALSH POINT,PORT WARRENDER UP IN THE KIMBERLY.ITS JUST BEEN GIVEN BACK TO THE ABORIGINALS SO IDE SAY YOU WOULD NEED A PERMIT NOW,BUT ITS AN AMAZING PLACE.DEFFINATLY A MUST SEE:eek:

[Paul100]

So many great places in our Country to chose from , but i have a spot near Oberon that does it for me everytime i need a recharge !!!

[firey69]

anywhere across the north eastern side of the thompson river dam

[sparra]

a few good spots in the great sandy desert,w.a. away from the crowds,


cheers, sparra

[rumpig]

THen Chilli Beach, Iron Range NP.
yep, got to say this is a top spot, we went last year after the cyclone had been through and it was pretty torn up, but it was still a great spot, and you could imagine how nice it was before the cyclone hit. had a wild pig run through our camp one night and scare the crap out of us, we heard it coming through the bushes, but being so dark had no idea what it was.

[tna racing]

really any were bush for me

HERE IS A FEW PICS,UNBELIEVABLE SPOT.NATURAL WONDER

[Bazza_rips]

Sundown National Park. Awesome simply awesome.

my kinda place

[danbbode87]

I Carnt say i have exprianced heaps of places but i have been to a few, but rainbow beach! It is so peacefull up there!

[camshan]

anywhere in the bush. has got to be better than being at work.

[Redback]

A couple of my favorites are

Beresford Bore old Ghan,

Claypans at Oodnadatta,

The Simpson is just magical at night,

Cadelga Ruins on the Cordillo Downs Rd,

Belangalo SF in the Native section,

Styx River is a great spot, winter time is best,

The Dig Tree,

Dalhousie Springs,

Crooked Creek near Rover Park.

Just a few and winter is best because of none to very few people.

Baz.

[78x Cruza]

My number one camp is at the mouth of Pennyfather Rv (nth of Weipa).
November.. after the traffic... had the place to ourselves.

or

any bush camp within walking distance from the pub ie.
Birdsville
Kynuna
Daly Waters
Cooktown top pub
Innaminka
William Ck
Hells Gate

these are just launching points for some great, isolated bush camps.

[LUXNUT]

I have to agree whole heartly with utedriver, anywhere ther is no one else. Painted Desert just outta Oodnadatta was great. anywhere really where you don't have to camp in you allocated little 'lot', boxed in with posts.

[territorian1]

Pretty well anywhere in the Simpson Desert except Dalhousie Springs (Dalhousie's great for a swim but then move on somewhere more isolated to camp).

[crb76]

Bell Gorge in the Kimberley pre National Park takeover, Brachina Gorge in the Flinders. Any track...anywhere, as long as it's dirt with no phone coverage...ahhhh,bliss

[GOIN BUSH]

bloody great spot, and the owners are fantastic too
great place west kunderang,have you been down the switchbacks at carters trail to the river.

[griz]

Anywhere in the vic high country.

[threeleggedfork]

yuragir NP, woodgate beach NP, moreton island.. as you can tell i love beach camping.
