This is a large, open and grassy campsite in the Olney State Forest (Watagans) with access to the Wallombi Brook Creek. You will need to park and pitch a tent as you can`t drive into the camping area itself.

There are a number of nice swimming holes in the creek and plenty of room for your tent. This camppground is not usually as busy as some of the other spots in the Watagans, and with direct access to the flowing "brook" it is my pick in Olney State Forest. It can still get busy during peak times, just not as much as the others.
