Within the forest, the Cobrabald visitor area offer two separate camping areas for visitors to enjoy.

Wild Bull is the larger of the two, with barbecue facilities, a picnic shelter and a deep, cool waterhole just perfect for a summer dip - also home to some catfish!

The Bluff is further down river and features interesting rock formations, swimming holes and a quiet, secluded spot perfect for couples or small groups. The Bluff offers picnic facilities and a small number of campsites (walk-in only).

And like all NSW State Forests, your visit is absolutely free.
