Brass Monkeys Camping
@ Turon Gates
Friday, 20 March to Sunday, 22 March 2026
Arrivals between 11 am and 8 pm ONLY
This weekend offers driving on great country roads and winter camping on a scenic river nestled near the Blue Mountains, just a 3-hour scenic drive from Sydney.
There is no planned route as we intend to drive according to the conditions of the day and the roads. The campground is well placed to enjoy the lovely, quiet roads around the Lithgow, Bathurst, Sofala, and Mudgee districts.
We will have a communal cook-up in the evenings, and you will be asked to contribute to the cost (probably about $35).
