Goobang National Park is about 1.5 hr from Dubbo towards Parkes, a great place to pitch a tent. No power or showers, but built in fire places and toilets. (pdf brochure)
Ponto Falls is a good place to camp along the river, suitable for tents. No power or toilets. The turn off to Ponto falls is about 5-10km on the Dubbo side of Wellington, then 8km down to the river on dirt road.
Wylandra Crossing is a nice place to camp by the river. No facilities. From Burroway Road turn left into Rawsonville Rd. When Rawsonville Rd turns sharp right, turn left and follow the dirt road to the reserve. You can access the other side of the river from Wylandra Crossing Rd which turns right off the Narromine Road about 6km out of Dubbo. GPS -32.189869, 148.496962
10km North of Dubbo is Terramungamine Reserve, another good place to camp.
You can stay at Red Earth Estate Vineyard for $30 per night.
For more campsites along the Macquarie river check out rivertrails.com.au, it’s a great little site with camping information.
Also the Dubbo City Council has some info here and a map here.
Be considerate of others. Take your rubbish out with you. Enjoy!
