The Diggings Campground
Last Updated Feb 2017
4wd access only, bush camping on the banks of the Turon River
This is a beautiful little spot and great in the warmer weather, when you can enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Turon River.
I am told that this is a good location for trout fishing (NSW fishing licence required) although I never tried myself.
The sites have plenty of shade and are mostly level and grassy. They are suitable for tents or camper trailers.
The water out of the river can be used after treating, but you should probably bring your own drinking water.
Fires are permitted in provided fire pits (unless fire bans are in place), however you should bring your own firewood. Collecting firewood in national parks is prohibited.
