About this campsite

Dungowan Recreaion Reserve is a tranquil and spacious nature retreat, delightfully managed by volunteers. You'll have access to the river, perfect for safe swimming and fishing, and a roomy area for various outdoor activities. Enjoy the companionship of freeroaming local horses, amid chirping cicadas and singing birds. Amenities include electricity, and clean toilet and shower facilities. Apart from its daily charm, the reserve becomes lively during its two annual events and the Tamworth Music Festival. It's an ideal getaway for those longing for quiet relaxation, or even for the active outdoor hoobyists.

The reserve includes a footy training field, apart from that, park anywhere. Beware the few horses here as they'll pester you if you give attention or feed them. So dogs also need to be under control. Electricity, toilets and hot showers are available at $22.50 pn plus $5.00 pp pn (so $32.50 pn for two). During the two events held here annually plus during Tamworth Music Festival, camping is only available through the relevant organising committee. Heaps of space. No-one here except a couple of horses. Very quiet except for cicadas and birds. 20 feet to river. Everything is locked up, toilets power etc but if you have that anyway, which we do, then this is a great spot. No litter. No dunny paper. No noise. Tamworth half hour away and seriously nice big trees!
