Driving There
Drive to Zig Zag railway just off Bells Line of Road at Clarence. At the entry to Zig Zag railway car park, follow the dirt road to the right instead (it turns left and crosses the train line almost immediately) for a while until its end at a T-intersection with Glow Worm Tunnel Road. Turn right and a short distance later, where Beecroft Track comes in from the left, the campground on the right hand side is quite easy to find.
This Google map shows a different, longer route in via Lithgow because the connecting dirt road between Clarence and the Glowworm Tunnel Road doesn't show up on Google Maps.
The road to this point is accessible by all 2wd cars, and trailers.
