martoiscool Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hey raiders, Where can you legally camp on the lower hawkesbury, down river from Brooklyn bridge,??? I've been told you can camp on any beach that isn't sign posted as no camping, But being a national park I'm not sure.. I know there is a proper camping ground at Patonga but Im a tight ar$e and don't want to pay any camping fees!!! Plus being at a beach that only can be accessed by boat would mean I might have the beach to myself. If there arent any spots down river of the bridge, where are there spots up river?? Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers guys At the basin in Pittwater but just around the corner from Hawkesbury is good. Gentleman's Halt which is opposite Bar Point is a good camping ground, completely legal etc. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 The Basin is in the Kuringai National Park and camping fees DO apply. Site is manned permanently by resident Ranger. Overnight camping fees with NPWS are only $17 per adult. How much of a tight-arse do you want to be, what, with showers, toilets and free barbecue facilities provided??

martoiscool Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Tuffy, Haha I should have made myself more clear!! 17$ is more than reasonable!! But I like camping without all those Luxery items. Just my boat, swag, camp fire and esky is all I need. I like ruffing it. That's why I was asking about the beaches that are/aren't signposted. I'm sure I can stay on beaches dont say I can't!!

kingie chaser Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Just reopening this old thread as I am in a similar position except im not tight but merely like getting away from people. Where are some good places to camp west of the bridge? Any places accessible by 4x4 that are a bit private? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
