Description

COVID-safe travel from 1 June 2020. All camping in NSW national parks requires a booking. Book online or call the National Parks Contact Centre on 1300 072 757. The easily accessible Bummaroo Ford campground is set on the Abercrombie River, near Oberon. This family-friendly camping spot has swimming, hiking and canoeing. There are 15 unpowered sites suitable for tents, camper trailers, caravans and camping beside your vehicle. Toilets are available. Camping is free. Take a hike along the Abercrombie River, but take your swimmers with you when the weathers warm and the water levels are high, youll definitely want to take a dip. Its also a great place for paddling if youve got a canoe or kayak. During the spring, the beautiful golden wattles and red and yellow callistemons (bottlebrushes) along the river come into flower, bringing feeding birds with them. Its certainly a time of new life around here its also the season youll hear frogs singing by the water. All year round, youre likely to see kangaroos and wallabies near the campsite. Sit quietly by the waterholes at dusk and you might also see a platypus. Pets are not permitted.
