About this campsite

Bridge Creek Camping Area is a unique 4WD-accessible site located along the historic Old Telegraph Track, offering an authentic wilderness camping experience.

The surrounding environment includes a small bridge upstream and sand-bottomed creek, which deepens after rain, adding a sense of adventure to your stay. However, the northern bank has suffered erosion, showcasing nature's raw power.

There is a small bridge 50 metres upstream. The creek has a sandy bottom and becomes deep after rain. The banks on the northern side have been eroded.
