Kedumba River Crossing campground
Highlights
- Discover flat campsites nestled next to the Kedumba River, perfect for a peaceful overnight bushwalk experience.
- Hike the challenging 15.5km Mount Solitary track for breathtaking views of Mount Solitary and the Katoomba escarpment.
- Settle in for a night under the stars, where the Milky Way shines brightly in the clear night sky.
- Enjoy the golden glow of sandstone walls at sunset, creating a stunning backdrop for your camping adventure.
Situated in a wide grassy area next to the Kedumba River, this walk-in campground is ideal for self-sufficient campers. Once part of the pioneering Maxwell Farm, Kedumba River Crossing campground lies in the heart of the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Property.
From Katoomba, the campground is a 15.5km walk along the multi-day Mount Solitary walking track. You can also reach the campground via a 9km walk down Kedumba Pass, along Kedumba Valley fire trail, near Wentworth Falls. Both walks have very steep and arduous descents and ascents so take enough water and food.
At the bottom of the valley, intrepid campers will find plenty of flat campsites to choose from, as well as toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings for a barbecue and bush tea. It takes 2 to 3 hours to hike down and 3 to 4 hours to hike back out.
Once you’ve set up camp for the night, enjoy the peaceful surrounds, including breathtaking views of Mount Solitary, the Katoomba escarpment and Kings Tableland. At sunset, the sandstone walls glow gold, and on a clear night the Milky Way shines bright.
