Set in the Wollemi National Park, Coorongooba Campground is a great camp ground to switch off and reconnect with nature. We stayed 2 nights and found that was enough time to check out the surrounds of the Glen Davis area.
It costs $6 booking fee to camp at Coorongooba at that price you can’t get better! The bird life surrounding the campsite is gorgeous. The Capertee River runs along the left hand side of the the entire camp grounds.
The drive in is smooth with paved causeways and can be driven through on 2WD unless there has been heavy rain, the causeway may get deep to cross so in wet weather a 4WD is suitable.
The Coorongooba campground is in the Capertee Valley which is the second largest canyon in the world, the cliff faces and escarpments surrounding are beautiful and visible as you explore the area. Enjoy watching them at different times of day as the cliff faces colours change.
Facilities:
There are non-flush, drop toilets, picnic tables and barbecue facilities. All firewood must be brought with you as you cannot buy any firewood in the vicinity unless you drive 1.5 hrs into Lithgow. Open fires are allowed unless there is a total fire ban.
There is no phone reception anywhere in the camp ground and surrounding however there is a public phone booth in Glen Davis old town which is only approx 5 mins away in the car.
As you drive in to the right you will find the Glen Davis Oil Shale Works lookout which is spectacular and a must to see. It overlooks the entire plant. Heading towards the lookout, you will come across some steps which are steep and the walk over is about 550 metres.
We loved our stay and recommend Coorongooba campground to anyone looking at disconnecting from the hustle and bustle and reconnecting with nature.

Thank you for your beautifull video of this beautifull place where i grew up it bought me to tears so many memories i will never forget the lovely mountains your video shows them so clear and vivid i left there in 1953 i was 12 years old so long ago
I love to visit there and is nice and scenic
A lovely area that you’ve photographed so well . And fantastic that you camp with the kids. Such a beautiful family. Your videos are so serene. Love them all. Thanx so much for sharing.
Wow, it’s really amazing work you have done. Hope we get to see more videos from you. We planning to visit after this lockdown.
Great down to earth content.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hi, just so you know it's called a Shale mine, pronounced shale as in hail. Cheers.
Steve.
Salama road, great views, I love it, and I love the farm, the greenery, the spacious spaces, and the clean air. Greetings to you from Egypt ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh how wonderful, hello there hope all is well in your part of the world 🌸💜
Love you r video. Why didn't you show any of the shale oil factory? I understand its on private property but I thought you were going to do the tour.
Great video went there a couple of years ago but missed a lot but will be back again but this time camp there keep up the good work cheers Glenn
Thanks Glen 😃 its a gorgeous spot, hopefully once this lockdown is over you’ll be able to go and enjoy it 👍
Thanks for this great video. It's good to see people enjoying year round caravaning. You were concerned about your pronunciation. I can't comment on the local names but your pronunciation of shale is incorrect. You kept saying shoal when it's said like mail or nail or hail. So said like "sh....ail". Sorry but you did say to comment on pronunciation. We have winter caravaned in the Warrumbungles NP, I think you guys would love it if you haven't been there already.
While at glen Davis come up to rylstone kandos for there is a lot of history at these two towns for I grow up in the area everyone is welcome
Happy New year 🎈🎈🌹🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎁♥️♥️🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳💗💗🎉🎉🎉
And to you too! All the best for 2022!
I'm surprised you didn't know it's bookings only at National Park campgrounds. It's no longer free.
What are your tips in getting prepared for a trip? Especially with kids on tow. Having 2 kids in tow is always a challenge.
