    New name, same great location. Camp Crudine is the ideal getaway for groups and families to enjoy what nature has to offer. Located approximately 40 mins from Bathurst the camp is the ideal location to enjoy the tranquility of the bush. 4WD access ONLY Suitable for off-road camper trailers, tents and swags. Natural bushland consisting of 80 acres with the Crudine River along the boundary. We are part of the Sofala gold rush history (from the 1850s), sit back and imagine gold miners and their families camped along the banks. There are two campsites, Camp Crudine Kitchen and Camp Crudine Riverside. When you make your booking whether for 2 people or a group of family and friends the chosen campsite is all yours for the length of your stay. If you need supplies Sofala is just 8 km away, drop in and explore the town. Hill End is 28 km which is another Historic town to explore. Camp Crudine is great for kids and adults alike to have a go at panning for gold or try out the metal detector. All findings must be returned to the host, lol. Campfires must comply with the local fire restrictions and guideline and must be contained in the fire pits provided. Bonfires are not permitted at any time. We recommend campers bring their own firewood as campers are requested to source only small amounts of firewood along the riverbank. Under no circumstances are trees to be cut down. Firewood is available at the Sofala General Store. Campers are required to bring everything they need and take all rubbish when leaving. Dogs are welcome but they must be supervised and under control at all times. The owner has livestock on the property which must be respected at all times.

    Camp Crudine Riverside 4X4
    Great peaceful spot, I had the campsite further down the creek, totally private and quiet, I did arrive with a 4x4 camper trailer and once you head through the gate there is no turning back, wouldn’t recommend towing to this spot, even though the website says it’s ok , tent/swag etc only, I’ll definitely come back but with a tent only

    Camp Crudine Kitchen 4X4
    We loved our 3 night stay at Camp Crudine Kitchen. The property is insanely beautiful and peaceful. We only bumped into a few roos and an echidna the whole time we were there! The Kitchen setup is insane, and made the trip so much more luxe. Having a reliable undercover shelter, with solar powered lights and a BBQ was amazing. We will definitely be back !

    We absolutely loved our time at Camp Crudine, a lovely quiet, private spot set right by the river.

    Camp Crudine Riverside 4X4
    My family of 5 and our border collie enjoyed a night here and all I can say is I wished we’d planned to stay longer. There was so much space to roam and explore - and we had the spot to ourselves. But even if there’d been other campers at the kitchen site there’d still be plenty of privacy which is what we love. It felt like our own piece of heaven and the kids especially really appreciated the exclusivity of the river to swim and splash. Getting there was very easy in the 4WD (you’ll need low gear for a small bit of it) and the signage is great too. The camp area is flat and grassy so it was easy to pitch our tents - lots of space to pull the awning out from the car too which was awesome. Just be cautious of the Thistle that’s around some parts when exploring as they’re pretty spikey - but that definitely doesn’t detract from the experience. The river and rocky terrain is gorgeous. The sounds, the air, the stars…my family (and our dog) and I loved everything about this place and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you Glenn for offering a property that is a slice of happiness.

    This campsite had it all. We stayed at the site with the Kitchen, which overlooked the river rapids. The riverbank was great to explore and take in the cliff scape and river views. We enjoyed panning for gold, fishing and marvelled at the remnants of the rock wall lining the riverbank, which the friendly host explained, was built by the Chinese gold miners. Steeped in history, this was an unforgettable camping experience, we will certainly be back again!
