Now I have reached the coast of NSW and arrived at Macksville, a little inland on the River. Small but popular with it's Star Hotel, old bridge and views of the river. There is a Caravan Park of course however, I chose Gumma Reserve about 6 kms from the Bridge. The last couple of kms is gravel and quite narrow so wide rigs should take it easy as the corners are blind to on coming traffic.
The Campground is small, on the banks of Worrell Creek and rapidly fills up. There is a Toilet Block but no Showers or Power. Normally I believe there is a cost of $10 per night per head, which is said to be increasing soon. Currently and to my luck, the National Parks Service and the local Council are arguing about who should collect the fees, so no-one does at the moment and therefore its free. A nice enough spot but I reckon it would become too overcrowded to be comfortable at peak times.
Some friendly Campers nearby, great weather and picturesque views along the Creek made the two night stay here worthwhile. Come Saturday many more arrived and as I thought the place was soon at near capacity. When fees are introduced it may however become a bit quieter. A recommended spot for an overnighter.
