    Coxs River Camping Ground ( Blue Mountains )

    Does anyone know if there is still vehicle access to Coxs River Camping Ground in the Blue Mountains (on the 6 Foot Track)?

    Went there with a group of friends about 6 or 7 years ago, I do believe we drove through private property to access the camping ground.

    Would like to take the missus and kids there for a weekend away

    Cheers

    Todd

    Just saw this thread..Might be some help.
    I did an enquiry about 6 years ago through the Jenolin Caves Tourist information centre and they gave me some numbers of the land holder by the river. At that point you could even take a van in. I don't have the numbers anymore though.
    There is a road leading into the cox's river from the Jenolin cave end. There is a little camp site in the side of the road about 2 or 3 Ks before you hit the turnoff to the caves. There were no gates and it takes you down the 11km hill to the river. As I said it was about 6 years ago though.
    May have changed. From the river you can walk to a cool cable bridge. head south.

    Apparently you are able to get to the campsite by vehicle. Here is some info on the site itself and they also have contact information in the campsite.

    We were at Cox's River campground in September last year. You can still access it and the easiest way (direction wise) is to come in a fair way down the Jenolan Caves Rd and turn left onto the 6 foot track - then you follow those signs all the way into camp. From memory you cross the river 2-3 times. Google maps the camp ground and you can follow the 6 foot track back up to the Jenolan Caves Rd

    When we were there we left a different way (though the private property) but I don't recall it well enough to give directions but you end up coming out a lot close to the Great Western Hwy on the Jenolan Caves Rd.

    There is some pretty good wheeling out there as well. Overall I reckon it's a great place to stay with plenty of stuff for the lil ferals to do. We will definitely be going back there.

    yes you can get access to the camp grounds at the bottom of the cox's river along the six foot track. many years ago i asked one of the rangers about the private property sign on the gate,,, he said and i quote "if you ever come across that f*%in gate locked on the six foot gate wrap a chain around it and rip out and throw it in the bush!!!" the six foot track or that end of it is a gazetted road which i have used more times thatn i care to remember and as such even though it does pass through private land it can not be blocked by the land holders. so go down there and enjoy there are good carp and trout in that river if you into fishing and if your up for and interesting drive there is a hard core track that runs from the start of the pine forest on the jenolan caves road via Mt gibralter and little river valley but it is not for the faint haerted. enjoy

    The last time I went was well over a year ago, but didn't drive to the camping ground, hiked in!, Looking at taking the kids camping there. I wouldn't want 2 be sitting in the river now, it would be freezing!
