Information

This is the correct location of Upper Carawine Pool - a large wide body of water just before it enters the Upper Carawine Gorge however this is not the spot that is mistakenly referred to as Upper Carawine where you can camp. This spot is accessible by taking a side track off the main track to a lush small grassy spot where you can park up but you'll have to walk through the scrub to reach the water. Very limited space to turn around even the smallest of camper trailers. Cattle tracks everywhere.

To find the other spot where you can camp on the river, stick to the main track - the camp is on the Oakover River Crossing - the correct name is Oakover Crossing Camp.

Fantastic walk in along the south edge of the Oakland River (staying high on south bank is easier). Incredible pool, it's huge and the water is crystal clear. It's actually a nicer spot than the popular Carawine Gorge, but less accessible and no camping available (unless you hike in a tent perhaps?). I have tried to add some location markers to find the parking area/start of the track. 2km return to the west edge of the pool from the parking area. 3km return to the Gorge. Will try to add some photos. Enjoy!
