About this campsite

Come prepared for a true back-to-nature experience where the essence of uncomplicated camping comes to life.

Welcome to Pumps Road Camping Area, a blissful bush camping area nestled alongside a scenic river providing an immersive outdoor experience. Although no specific facilities are provided, nature's grandeur makes up for it as you secure a place for your tent along the water's edge. Accessing the area is quite an adventure in itself. While Pumps Road offers a route over a bridge with a 2-tonne load limit, another recommended route is via Tol Tol Road through the picturesque Walsh Bend Camp.

Dealing with the unpredictable tracks post-rain could be a bit challenging as they turn boggy in spots, turning the journey into a mini off-roading adventure. For those wishing to light a fire, keep in mind that there's a prohibition in place against cutting firewood. So prepare ahead for a place where nature's beauty is beautifully untouched, heralding an authentic camping experience, supplemented by the calming soundtrack of the river flowing nearby.
