If you like to answer the call of the wild with a night in the rugged wilderness, then head for the remote beauty of Gummi campground on the northern boundary of Barrington Tops National Park. Roughly halfway between Scone and Gloucester, you’ll need a 4WD to get to this remote camping spot, high in the sub-alpine region.
Spend your days fishing in the crystal clear Manning River, or explore the high country trails on horseback or mountain bike. Wildlife is plentiful in this unspoilt region, so keep your eyes peeled for kangaroos, wombats, and the rare, elusive long-nosed potoroo.
Between 1 June and 30 September, this campground is only accessible by walking or cycling (3km one-way) because the 4WD access trails close.
Some areas of the parklands may have limited public access, check the NPWS alerts page for the latest info before you travel.
