Camping near Gilgandra guide

Overview

Situated about halfway along the inland road from Melbourne to Brisbane, Gilgandra welcomes its fair share of road-trippers. In the Western Plains region of NSW, the country town is known for its windmills, so start your visit by following the Windmill Walk along the shores of the Castlereagh Rivers. Afterward, you can visit an emu farm and learn about Gilgandra’s unique WWI history at the Coo-ee Heritage Centre. North of town, Warrumbungles National Park has thrilling mountain hikes and scenic drives. It's worth camping there to enjoy stargazing in Australia's first Dark Sky Park, and there are several campgrounds, including hike-in bush camps and huts along the trails and unpowered campgrounds with space for caravans and campervans. Campers also have a choice of caravan parks and Hipcamps in and around Gilgandra, many of which provide powered sites and on-site amenities.
