RV TRAVEL FREEDOM ISN’T ALWAYS FREE. BUT IN THE CASE OF THESE CAMPSITES, IT’S WORTH EVERY PENNY. THE FOUR HANDS IN A TIN CAN CREW HIGHLIGHT THERE ALL-TIME FAVOURITES... Feeding the brumbies at Pillaga Bore. PILLIGA BORE, NSW A lot of people hear the words ‘free camp’, and they assume it will cost zero dollars. While this is true for some locations, it is often not the case — freedom camping means that you are self-reliant or self-contained. It means you must supply your own power, water and sometimes your own amenities; however, we have found that there are a lot that will have a toilet of some sort. We have taken to calling them ‘freedom camps’, as this removes the assumption that they cost nothing. While we here at Four Hands in a Tin Can have not completed a lap yet, we have come across some awesome freedom camps. Here are some of our favourites… This is one of our all-time favourite camping spots in winter. You camp around a hot artesian bore and can enjoy a soak in the 36-degree water. While you feel like you are in the middle of no- where, and it certainly looks like it, you are only about half an hour away from Coonamble, about 40 minutes from Wee Waa. The campground itself provides flushing toilets and a cold shower, which are cleaned and stocked three days a week. For $5 a night per caravan, and a maximum 21-day stay, we think this place is worth the trip. WHERE: 96KM FROM NARRABRI ON THE PILLIGA ROAD MORE INFORMATION gorv.com.au 31
