Family Camping in the Blue Mountains – Dunphys Campground #shorts #touri...

Dunphys Campground is a remote and picturesque spot tucked away in the Megalong Valley, within the Blue Mountains National Park, New South Wales. Surrounded by rolling green paddocks and dramatic escarpments, it’s a favourite base for bushwalkers, campers, and adventurers wanting to explore the rugged wilderness of the southern Blue Mountains. The campground is unpowered, offering grassy areas for tents and camper trailers, and has basic facilities like toilets, picnic tables, and fireplaces.

 

What makes Dunphys especially appealing is its location at the edge of the wilderness. From here, you can set off on some of the Blue Mountains’ most iconic hikes, including routes toward Mount Cloudmaker, Kanangra Walls, Narrow Neck Plateau, and the famous “Three Peaks” challenge. It’s also a fantastic spot for birdwatching and photography, with wedge-tailed eagles soaring above, wallabies grazing in the fields, and misty mornings that make the valley feel magical.

 

While accessible by 2WD in dry weather, the road in can be rough, so preparation is key. The campground is free to use but requires a national parks pass. Visitors should bring their own water and firewood, and be ready for cold nights, especially in winter. For families and groups, it’s a great introduction to wilderness camping—offering a safe and open area with incredible views—while for seasoned hikers, it’s the perfect launch pad into some of the most challenging and rewarding treks in the Greater Blue Mountains.
