1 night at KANGAROO CREEK CAMP DUBBO

I found a space to be very relaxing home to a number of local kangaroos. All the campsites are very well maintained and easy access. I would recommend if looking for something very peaceful

Spent a couple of peaceful nights camped by the river. Matt's map & directions made it super easy to find. We had to place to ourselves and didn't see a sole of the entire stay. Would definitely look to revisit if passing through.
