About this campsite

Boultons Crossing (Gumma Reserve) is a relaxing camping area located on the banks of the Warrell Creek, near Macksville in NSW. A must-visit for nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts, this campground offers amenities including a boat ramp, flushing toilets, and tank water.

The site is dog-friendly but visitors are recommended to check the latest rules with the council. It's a tranquil spot perfect for a peaceful getaway.

Boultons Crossing Reserve, also known as Gumma Reserve Camping Area, sits on the mesmerizing north coast of NSW, near Macksville. This ecologically restful spot offers facilities such as a boat ramp, making it a perfect haven for fishing enthusiasts. The area is equipped with modern flushing toilets and access to tank water, ensuring a pleasant stay. The campsite lies majestically on the bank of the scenic Warrell Creek, which flows into the vast Nambucca River, approximately 9km north of the campground. The luminous landscape can become a bit muddy post-rain, a common occurrence in this region, and the last few kms approach road is an unpaved dirt path sometimes needing upkeep.

When dogs are permitted, there is a nominal fee for them per night. This tranquil hideaway, teeming with natural beauty, promises a rejuvenating retreat from the humdrum of daily life.
