Werris Creek Campground – Community Camping NSW

Step back in time and enjoy genuine country town hospitality at the Werris Creek Campground. Located at the David Taylor Oval and sporting complex, this fantastic community-provided campground is a perfect example of why exploring regional Australia is so rewarding. As the first and last railway town in Australia, Werris Creek is steeped in history, and this campground provides the perfect base for exploring its unique heritage. The camping area is a spacious, level, grassy field that can comfortably accommodate a large number of self-contained caravans and motorhomes. Operating on a donation basis, the funds collected go directly back into maintaining the excellent facilities, which are a credit to the local community.

What sets this campground apart is the quality of its amenities. Visitors are consistently impressed by the clean toilet block, which also houses coin-operated hot showers, and the convenience of an on-site dump point. These features make it an incredibly comfortable and practical stopover for travellers. The location is both quiet and convenient, set away from the main road but still just an easy walk or a very short drive into the town centre. Here you can visit the magnificent, heritage-listed Werris Creek Railway Station and the impressive Rail Journeys Museum. After a day of exploring, you can support the town by enjoying a meal at the local pub. For a peaceful, pet-friendly, and well-facilitated stay in a town with a fascinating story to tell, the Werris Creek Campground is an absolute must for any traveller on the roads of the Liverpool Plains.
