Ben Halls campground

January 2021. Very impressed with this Park. Lot's of camping allotments, picnic tables, fire places, nice covered area with gas BBQ's. Lot's of shade. A great place to camp for the wildlife and bush walking. A well maintained park at my time of visit. No one else there on my Sunday visit. Lot's of walking trails, and Seaton's Farm was very interesting. The road in is very easy, only a few kilometres of dirt, suitable for any car, bike or caravan.
EDIT February 2024... I've since been back couple years ago. However that time, the parked looked a little overgrown with grass and weeds. Doesn't really change the experience of being there, just looks much better when it's been mowed. All facilities were still good.
Guess it's just luck to be there at the best time. The only thing this park is missing, is a creek, but it has everything else. It's a very isolated park, about 20km from anything, with no phone service. But that's one of the things I like. It's so quiet out there. Lots of kangaroos, I saw an Emu there as well.

Excellent campground!! Although it could be considered remote, facilities were excellent. There are multiple well spaced campsites with fire pits and a picnic table as well as a magnificent barbecue area :) The national park itself is also beautiful, very different landscape but some interesting walks leading to beautiful viewing points. Definitely worth staying for a night or two if you’re a keen walker and enjoy self-sufficient and peaceful camping ⛺

This is a gem. Lots of sites, well spaced out, and all have picnic tables and fire pits. A couple of long-drop toilets (one at entrance to campground and one at far end). Lots of shady options. Only a few sites are suitable for caravans or trailers (mostly at entrance to campground). Only one covered area with free gas bbqs and a couple of tables and benches. Some good hikes and all leave from the campground. Take care on Lynch’s Loop in wet weather—the return hike (clockwise) crosses the creek and numerous rocks which get very slippery. Seaton’s Farm is accessible on foot via marked trail. No firewood is supplied at the ground so BYO or collect from the neighbouring state forest. Grey roos graze along the edges of the campground. Fabulously clear night skies for stargazing.

Truly a hidden gem with much to see and do. Seaton's farm is a must. Mobile reception around the camp area is patchy. Okay for texts most of the time. Call reception is best at night. (Telstra 4G that is, 3G not so good). You do need to bring water and your own firewood. Fantastic birdlife. Gas barbecues are well-maintained, clean and do not require coins to operate. As is the case with all national parks there are no bins. Take your rubbish home with you. The best walks are up the gullies (Basin Gully to the Eualdrie lookout and Black Gin Gully both very good) but be very alert for the massive spider webs (and equally massive spiders) that span the trees along the track. The easiest walk is from the camp to Seaton's farm (about 500 metres). The walk to Ben Hall's cave is a nice little circuit with some stiff climbing on the first section. Much better on the way down with a made path and stairs. Do not try to enter the cave. The overhang is very precarious. Extremely tranquil and restful place. I spent three days there in late March and the weather was perfect. You do have to book a campsite through the NPWS website but the charge is minimal - $6 booking fee only. Grenfell itself, the birthplace of Henry Lawson, is also a lovely spot. Good amenities and a well stocked IGA in the main street for all your supplies.

NOTE: The loop trail marked on Google Maps as Bertha's Gully Walking track is actually the loop trail up to Ben Hall's cave. The Bertha's Gully track is further south down the Seaton Farm boundary road. It is not a loop and is quite steep in parts.

AND THERE IS MORE: I've added two photographs taken from the campsite with a 300mm telephoto lens that appear to show a strange dog like creature in a cave halfway up the cliff face. The resolution is too poor to determine if this is actually an animal (possibly a goat of which there are many in the park) or if it is just an optical illusion.

Absolutely amazing and peaceful. Made it in driving an AU Falcon and a motorbike. Only one other camper (very far away). Perfect for what we needed. Fire pits, tables, amenities within walking distance. Just gorgeous

Picturesque campground amongst the pine and gum forest. Good views from the tracks. Well maintained campsites. Friendly wildlife including birds and kangaroos.

Love this campground, well maintained and clear campsites, space available for longer vehicles, does get busy, toilets are clean, water and power not available. Take the walk up to the cave for great views and Suttons farm also interesting. Follow signs for Ben Halls Cave.

Barbecue and shelter were all we needed as we were on motorcycles. 3 k's of gravel road to access. Plenty of room.

Camp ground excellently laid out.. sites well spaced...kangaroos and birds for company.. facilities clean and well designed... very peaceful...great job guys

Lovely campground with pit toilets, picnic tables and fireplaces. Good hiking to the top of the mountain.

Very clean camp sites, the road in is also well maintained so you can get there in a 2 wheel drive. It's got all the necessary features BBQ and toilets. Beautiful place to stay for a night.

Ideal spot for a picnic. Great facilities including 2 x large LPG BBQ's under large shelter with tables. Clean long drop dunnys nearby. 20min hike up the hill to see Ben Halls cave. Interesting museum farm next door.

Excellent camp ground with historical Seatons farm close by. Also outlaw Ben Halls cave within walking distance. Fire pits picnic tables and toilets are available. BYO drinking water as a water tank is available but wouldn't trust it to drink.

Nice campsite with toilets and tables. Lot of nice walks to take around there. Walk up to see Ben Halls cave and longer walks to the gully etc. Make sure you visit the old Seatons Farm next to this spot. It is amazing and like a museum. Very interesting.

Beautiful spot. Lovely shady ca.p spots. BBQ free. Amenities very good. Good gravel road 2km. No problem with caravan. Plenty of birds.

Great camp ground, with many good walking tracks.

Top spot. Level sites with fireplaces. Summer fire bans though

A great place to camp, some good walks. Even some kangaroos visiting.

Clean tidy wide spaces for kids to run

A great camp spot to stay at for a few nights.
