Description

Bush camping beside the Styx River in the Styx River State Forest. Facilities include toilets, picnic tables and BBQ. The forest can be accessed via the Armidale-Kempsey Road. Turn north onto Styx River Forest Way and follow directional signage. Access for two wheel drives not recommended. Caravans and campervans are welcome, but only four wheel drives. No power is available. Choose a campsite carefully, at least 20 metres from the edge of any stream or waterway. Use existing areas for camping and do not clear or damage trees and plants. Use soaps or detergents at least 50 metres from waterways and camping areas. Detergents, toothpaste and soap (even biodegradable) harm fish and aquatic life. Take all rubbish with you and leave no trace. State forests permit dogs, but visitors should keep them under control and on a lead at all times.
