Riverside Campground – Oxley Wild Rivers National Park (CG)

There are a total of 12 sites at this location. The location is suitable for Tents. Access is for 4WD vehicles with low range only. Trailers, caravans and motorbikes are not permitted.

Remote and unspoilt, the Riverside campground, on the Apsley River in the spectacular Macleay gorges area, puts the wild back into wilderness.

Once you’ve set up camp under the fuzzy box trees, inhale some crisp clean air and feel the city melt away. You’ll be pitching your tent beside one of the cleanest rivers in NSW, surrounded by rugged mountains and dramatic rocky outcrops. The only stress will be choosing between fishing, swimming, canoeing or walking the Budds Mare Riverside track.
