The best camping near Cowra with climbing

·

Cowra’s sandstone bluffs and rugged hills make it a magnet for climbers who want real rock under their fingertips. If you’re after camping that puts you close to the action, you’ll find over 40 spots around Cowra set up for climbing access—think bush settings, river bends, and paddocks within easy reach of the best crags. The average night runs around $45, but you can snag a site for as little as $15 if you’re watching your wallet. Climbers rave about Redlands Camping (284 reviews), Borenore Billabong Field Days site (92 reviews), and REVELSTONE MOUNTAIN CAMPS (41 reviews)—all known for their easy access to boulders and walls. Facilities often include hot showers, flushing toilets, and a pet-friendly policy, so you won’t have to rough it too hard. After a day on the rock, expect plenty of wildlife-watching and hiking right outside your tent flap.

Balga Rise

4. Balga Rise

37km from Cowra · 1 site · Tent, RV
220 acres of Australian bush land and old farming land being regenerated. Lots of hiking available with grand views from the top of the mountain of Wyangala dam. There is no mobile phone reception so you can be completely off grid and just enjoy the bird filled valley. Other properties still have farm activities in the valley so friendly neighbours happy to help. Balga Rise is being regenerated for eco tourism down the track. The magic is over the back. You can access Wyangala Dam on foot - but not for launching fishing boats as the crown land is leased and the gate locked to prevent unauthorised camping.
