Pioneer Park Cootamundra Free Camping

Pioneer Park in Cootamundra NSW is a great little free overnight camping spot. There are toilets, BBQs and bins provided. The views over town are absolutely fantastic.

We live in Cootamundra so are quite proud of our small Riverina Town and reckon it’s absolutely awesome. The addition of free camping at Pioneer Park has been quite popular with people stopping for an overnight free camp. I drive past the camp site most days of the week and can see it from the Olympic Highway. It usually has at least two or three campers set up – often many more than this. I’ve been meaning to pull in and get some photos for quite a long time and have been waiting for a day when it was empty and that has been difficult – it’s that popular!

About The Pioneer Park Cootamundra Free Campsite

The road in from the Olympic Highway is bitumen and in great condition. It’s only about 500m in off the highway. Recent drainage upgrades have improved access during all weather conditions.

It’s now an RV Friendly site. Pioneer Park allows free camping near Cootamundra NSW. It’s a great overnight camping spot for your caravan, motorhome or van. The camping area is bitumen so it’s awesome in wet weather but unfortunately not suitable for a tent. A rooftop tent would work great.

Something to keep in mind is that the camping area is not completely flat. The longer pull through bays near the toilets are the flattest – there a two or three of them. Otherwise a bit of driving around the camping are (it’s not huge) and you’ll find a spot that is level enough for an overnight stop. With the use of some levelling blocks you’ll get your caravan, van or motorhome more than level enough.
