Buccarumbi Bridge Campground, Old Grafton Road, NSW.

Buccarumbi Bridge,

Our first stop along the Old Glen Innes Road/Old Grafton Road was at Buccarumbi Bridge Campground. Sometimes simply referred to as Buccarumbi Campground, this is an officially designated free camping area on the banks of the Nymboida River. There are no facilities but it is a pleasant riverside location. It was very hot when we were there in March and there is limited shade.

As we weren't sure of the road conditions, we decided to let our tyres down a bit before continuing west along the Old Grafton Road to Dalmorton Campground. However, this section of road turned out to be in pretty good condition and may have recently been graded. After the tunnel the road condition deteriorated and the corrugations got worse as we approached the Mann River Nature Reserve.
