Ingar campground

Ingar campground is a small, remote tent camp on Kings Tableland near Wentworth Falls, set in scribbly gum woodland beside the rocky waterhole on Ingar Creek. Its eight unpowered, unmarked sites make it an overnight stop on the walking and cycling route between Wentworth Falls and Woodford. Save it for a trip where the swim and bush setting are worth the approach; there’s no drive-up access.

The campground directions give a 5 km walk via Bedford Creek Trail or a longer 13 km approach via Andersons Trail from Tableland Road. Both paths have steep sections, and wet weather can make them inaccessible. Other route information lists different totals for those access trails, so check which distance matches your starting point before setting out. If you continue toward Woodford along Bedford Creek Trail, the route drops to Bedford Creek’s rainforest before climbing hard back out to Murphys Trail.

All your gear comes in with you. The sites are unpowered and unmarked; toilets, picnic tables and barbecue facilities are listed at camp. Bring drinking and cooking water and firewood, since no water supply is listed. The toilet type isn’t specified.

The rocky pool is the main payoff for a swim or picnic. Eastern water dragons may bask on the bank, and sugar gliders, possums and bandicoots can be active around camp after dark. The creek and quiet bush setting are the draw; the steep ups and downs are the tradeoff, especially on the way back out.
