Macquarie Woods Forestry Reserve Campground
Last Updated May 2017 by Brucews
A great, large campground, suitable for caravans in Vittoria State Forest, west of Bathurst NSW.
This is a large grassy campground with scattered Blakely's Red Gums, Stringy Barks and Apple Box trees for shade.
There are walking trails and a lookout with excellent views of the MacQuarie Valley. The forest itself is a mixture of pine plantation and native woodlands.
There is a good chance you will see wallabies and kangaroos grazing near your tent. There are also a number of 4wd trails through the state forest to explore, varying from easy to moderately difficult (depending on the amount of rain).
