Dunphy's campground is a great option if you're looking for a Blue Mountains camping getaway, less than an hour's drive from Katoomba and Blackheath. Offering 15 sites in a grassy, open setting with views of Mt Cloudmaker and the Wild Dog mountains, it's suitable for both tents and camper trailers.
The campground makes a great base for day walks and fishing along the Cox's River, extended hikes to Kanangra Walls, and climbing Narrow Neck's cliffs. The short, family-friendly walk up to Bellbird Point is delightful in spring. You can also connect with the Six Foot walking track, down the road, or the 132-kilometres Katoomba to Mittagong trail.
Nature lovers are well catered for here. Keep an eye out for kangaroos and wombats visiting the grassy clearings, or wedge-tailed eagles and flocks of cockatoos above. History buffs can check out the ruins of an original settler's cottage nearby. The campground is named after conservationist Myles Dunphy, who played a key role in the formation of Blue Mountains National Park.
Dunphys campground is equipped with undercover gas barbecues, fire rings, picnic tables, toilets and parking.
