Dingo Dell campground is located along the popular 4WD Kowmung River fire trail. Pitch your tent here and relax beside Tuglow Hole Creek.

It’s a family-friendly place to visit year-round. In spring there are wildflowers and in summer you can swim in the crystal-clear mountain streams of the Kowmung River, north of the campground. Autumn brings pleasant temperatures, and there might be a dusting of snow in winter. Enjoy cool nights by the fire, and excellent views of the stars at this secluded location.

If you’re staying a few days, go mountain biking on the Boyd River loop and Mount Emperor loop, explore the Kanangra Boyd Plateau and its walks and visit Morong Falls lookout. The Tuglow Caves are nearby as well, but you need a permit to visit.

You might spot wombats and other small marsupials, like redneck wallabies, moving undercover through the thick tussock grass surrounding the campground. At night, keep an eye out for greater gliders and powerful owls in the high treetops, and listen for the dingoes calling. Yellow-tailed black cockatoos and kangaroos are also regular visitors.
