For something secluded but still packed with points of interest, Finchley campground in Yengo National Park is a good bet for self-sufficient travellers. A short walk from the campground is the special Finchley Aboriginal Area and Finchley Cultural Walk, created in 1976 to protect one of the largest and most accessible engraving sites in the region. A spectacular lookout is right nearby as well: Finchley Trig, framing Mount Yengo in the distance. One of the campground’s best offerings is not apparent until nightfall though, when the lack of light pollution leaves the sky open to an unparalleled vista of the stars. Bring a telescope if you happen to have one, or simply lay back on a blanket during warm spring nights, appreciating the view.
There are 4 campsites. Facilities include: amenities block, wood BBQ’s (bring your own firewood), carpark, picnic tables, non-flush toilets.
Camping Fees: $5 per adult per night. $3 per child per night (prices subject to change without notice).
