Cricket Pitch Campground, also known as Newnes Campground's river-crossing site, sits on the far side of the Wolgan River within Wollemi National Park.

It is part of the broader Newnes Campground area but is separated from the main camping area by the river, accessible only by foot or 4WD via a ford near the Newnes Hotel.

The setting is dramatic, with sandstone cliffs and eucalypt forest forming a natural amphitheatre around the flat, grassy ground. Camping is unpowered and suited to tents and camper trailers.

The surrounding area offers exploration of historic shale oil ruins, including tracks, tunnels, and ovens, as well as river swimming and scenic walks.
