Does anyone know of any bush camping sites within a couple of hours from Sydney. A river or creek or beach ?

Hi yeah i'd head for the royal national park it's got it all from creeks to rivers to great beaches see link

You can bush camp in most NSW national parks and State Forests. There are a few guide books on bush camping around - look in the National Parks and Wildlife Service's bookshops next time you're in a major national park. There is a fee for camping, which you have to pay at the park entrance gate. My personal favourites are Kingfisher Pool in Heathcote National Park, and Burning Palms & Eerie Beach in the Royal National Park, both in the south of Sydney. Also the Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains, but with the recent bush fires there, they've probably closed that off. There's also some fantastic bush camping in Warrumbungles, but that might be too far for you - about 5 hour's drive from Sydney, but definately worth it.
