Traditionally you camped at the Booroomba Rocks carpark, but this is now officially forbidden (you could walk a while along the very old, blocked off road which continues from the carpark?). byo water

You're meant to go to Honeysuckle Ck (old tracking station site, sadly demolished) = fully equiped NP campsite (tank water, dunnies, fireplaces) at the end of the Apollo Rd bitumen. It can be very quiet or very noisy, dp on population on the day...

Less well known and also either very quiet or very noisy is a sandy beach on the Gudgenby river: turn L onto Angle Crossing Rd (2nd turnoff L after Tharwa, about 1.5 km before Apollo Rd): about a kilometre down the dirt. Beach area to right; nice shallow river (beware of glass per kind hand bogans)

Any of these would be pretty easy to find in the dark; all are convenient wrt Booroomba

V. traditional hardpersons used to stay atop B.R. (puff, pant, lug). Not sighted in a long time. Guaranteed peace.
