WHERE
Located 1300km north-west
of Sydney and 330km north
of Broken Hill, Sturt National
Park has hidden treasures and
some great camping. The park
covers more than 3500km^2 and
includes dunes in the jump-up
country, semi-dried desert areas
and a few flood plains. Within
the park there are walking trails,
ruins and lakes. This is one of
NSW’s most remote parks.CAMPING
Fort Grey is located on the
western side of Sturt National
Park, with Lake Pinaroo close
by. Fort Grey’s camping area has
pit toilets, shelters with free gas
barbecues, and several water
tanks. There’s ample room for
camper trailers, tents and off-
road caravans. Unfortunately,
no wood fires can be lit in this
camping area, though gas
barbecues are most welcome.
Self-registration is available
at Fort Grey for payment ofcamping fees, which at the time
of writing was $5 per adult and
$3 per child per night. Other
campgrounds within the park
include Olive Downs, Mount
Woods and Dead Horse Gully.SUPPLIES AND FACILITIES
