Blackbird Flat Camping Ground

Blackbird Flat Camping Ground sits beside the Macleay River on the Macleay Valley Coast, roughly 73 kilometres west of Kempsey along the Armidale-Kempsey Road.

It is a free, back-to-nature camping area set on a grassy riverbank, well suited to fishing, swimming, canoeing, picnicking, four-wheel driving, and walking. Facilities include pit toilets, a shelter shed, and a covered wood barbecue area.

A rainwater tank is on site, but visitors should bring their own drinking water. Dogs are permitted but must be kept under control, and campers may stay up to two weeks.

Access beyond Pee Dee becomes a single-lane dirt road, making the site unsuitable for caravans, towing vehicles, or large rigs. Tent-based and car-based camping only.
