Black Gate Reserve

Black Gate Reserve is a riverside campground situated along the historic Bridle Track on the Macquarie River in New South Wales, roughly 22 kilometres from the town of Hill End.

It is accessible by AWD/4WD and sits within a wider cluster of reserves spread along the Bathurst side of the track.

The campground features wide, open grassed areas beside a broad, shallow stretch of the Macquarie River, with separate upper levels that include picnic tables and a shelter. Facilities include a single drop toilet.

The river is suitable for swimming and fishing, with water shallow enough for wading but deep enough to sit in. Visitors are advised to check fire ban alerts and carry out all rubbish on departure.
