Grab a spot on the gently sloping grass and set up camp after an easy drive from Sydney or Newcastle. Only accessible by 4WD, Mountain Arm campground is a peaceful and remote rustic camping site which offers a great family getaway within Yengo National Park, near Windsor.

If you’ve got an off-road caravan or trailer, bring it along, otherwise set up the tent. Choose your spot beside the creek for a tranquil location amidst brilliantly flowering wattles before you set out to explore. The creek next to this campground tends to only hold water after rain, but the lovely big trees along the creek offer shade and plenty of birdlife to watch. 

There are trails for bushwalking and mountain biking nearby, and Big Yango loop trail offers excellent 4WD touring. You might spot a wombat or swamp wallaby, or even a goanna when the weather is warm.
