Bummaroo Ford Camp Site

Get away from city life at the riverside Bummaroo Ford campground. This family-friendly camping spot is the only place in Abercrombie River National Park where you can bring your caravan or trailer.

Take a hike along the Abercrombie River, but take your swimmers with you – when the weather’s warm and the water levels are high, you’ll want to take a dip. It’s also a great place for paddling if you’ve got a canoe or kayak.

During the spring, the beautiful golden wattles and red and yellow Callistemon (bottlebrushes) along the river come into flower, bringing feeding birds with them. It’s undoubtedly a time of new life around here – it’s also the season you’ll hear frogs singing by the water. You’re likely to see kangaroos and wallabies all year round near the campsite. Sit quietly by the waterholes at dusk; you might also see a platypus.
