Swans Creek Crossing
It is about a 20-minute drive from Kew (halfway between Taree and Kempsey) is Swans Crossing. Popular with locals and visitors alike, this camping and picnic area in Kerewong State Forest is set on former farmland.
The Swan family ran a dairy and beef property on the site for many years, including clearing the forest and establishing grasses for the stock. This continued until 1964 when the area became a State forest and was regenerated as native forest including hardwood plantation areas.
This site is closed on weekdays due to logging operations. Swans Crossing camping and picnic area will be open for weekends only. When initiated, no visitors will be permitted from Sunday 7.00 pm and weekdays through to Friday 5.00 pm. This closure will be strictly enforced by Forestry Corporation and signposted.
Swimming is a popular activity in the nearby shallows of Upsalls Creek.
Longworth Tramway Heritage Walk is located a short drive away, with other walking tracks leading off from the site including Cascade Walking Track.
Tents, camper trailers, caravans and camper vans are welcome at Swans Crossing.
