Turn East off Coles bay Road
This has the perfect combination of granite peaks and a wild coastline of white
sands and blue water. The best bush camping is on the north end near Isaacs
Point. This is the perfect place to set up and explore Freycinet National Park.

S of Old Narrandera Road, Wagga Wagga
It might be the biggest country town in NSW but Wagga Wagga is hiding one of the best crowd-free camps around. Right on the Murrumbidgee there’s excellent fishing, and here the waters are calm and relatively shallow – a great spot for a swim. Just remember – no facilities here!
Facilities: fishing, shade, swimming

THERESA CREEK DAM, CLERMONT, QLD
Theresa Creek Dam Road, Clermont

On the banks of the Theresa Creek Dam you can pull up and enjoy this remote beauty. Note that there is a low-cost camp at Theresa Creek bridge and a free camp at the dam. However, the laidback atmosphere here at the dam could see you stay for days. The fishing is excellent, but be ready for strong winds.
Facilities: toilets, bins, swimming, fishing
