Enjoy the convenience of a drive-through flat camp area measuring 16m x 45m with an all-weather surface. The area is bordered by trees, offering protection on the sides, whilst allowing for clear skies above to recharge your solar batteries. We do have separate male and female toilets for your convenience. Please note, however, they are up a set of stairs so are not wheelchair friendly. There is a barbeque available to use. Plus, feel free to cozy up around a contained fire, however, you MUST adhere to current NSW Fire Brigade restrictions/conditions. Whether you're looking for a brief overnight stay or a short retreat, our campsite is a quiet oasis along your journey.

Ranjen - Frank & Jenny great hosts ti chat with. A fantastic place to camp. We were right next to the dam. A fully equipped camp kitchen and hot showers and toilets made our experience so much better. A cattle ranch with horses made the country experience. Country photos every angle. Even the Kookaburras laughing. We will definitely come back with friends. Maree & Glen

Weekend Trip to Oakey Farm
I absolutely love this property. This was my second visit. It is a quiet and very relaxing place to stay. I love that the lawn is perfect to put up a tent, the pool is great for doing a few laps and cooling off. The bathroom is clean and feels very luxurious when camping and the host are so welcoming, kind and hospitable. I would love to return and stay on my next Tamworth visit! :)

I camped here for a night instead of in a Barrington Tops NP campground (as I normally would) as they offered showering and laundry facilities which I was in need of before another day of hiking. Amenities were clean and tidy, staff were friendly and helpful and there was a variety of unpowered camp sites to choose from. Walking down by the river and feeding the kangaroos and king parrots was a highlight. I loved my stay here and would definitely stay again.

This was such a peaceful and relaxing stay. The amenities were excellent and the whole area was incredibly quiet, which made it easy to unwind. We met Frank, who was very friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed being around the farm animals—especially the beautiful horses, the large gentle bull, and the very friendly farm cat who wandered over to say hello. It added such a lovely touch to the stay. The property was also super convenient, just an easy 20-minute drive out of Tamworth. Overall, a wonderful rural escape that I’d absolutely recommend.

The best camping in Crawney Pass National Park, NSW guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through the rugged beauty of Crawney Pass National Park. With its creation dating back to December 2005, this 311ha sanctuary invites nature enthusiasts to explore its rich tapestry of activities. Whether you're drawn to the thrill of birdwatching, the challenge of cycling, or the cultural depth of Aboriginal heritage tours, Crawney Pass offers an array of experiences to immerse yourself in the wild.

When to go

The best time to visit Crawney Pass National Park is during the milder seasons of spring and autumn, offering pleasant weather for outdoor activities. Summer brings warmth but also larger crowds, while winter may see some areas less accessible due to cooler conditions. Always check local alerts for the latest park information before planning your trip.

Know before you go

  • Ensure your safety by staying informed of any current alerts and weather conditions before your visit.
  • Accessibility is a priority, with facilities designed to accommodate a range of visitors.
  • Remember that pets are not permitted within the park to protect its biodiversity and wildlife.
  • For a seamless experience, download a detailed map or contact the Scone office from 8:30am to 4:30pm for assistance.
  • Contribute to conservation efforts by respecting the park's heritage and natural environment during your stay.
