 Penrose Park Silverton offers powered or unpowered caravan and camping sites throughout the park with plenty of options with or without shade and many areas screened with plants and shrubs providing privacy and a feeling of exclusion from others in the park. The range of facilities is extensive with five amenities blocks spread around the park, five BBQ areas, a laundry, playgrounds including basket ball and tennis and a dump point. There are also cabin accommodation options. There is a walking track to Silverton where the Silverton Hotel and museums are located. We really enjoyed and unreservedly recommend Penrose Park Silverton.

 Silverton Hotel in Silverton NSW advertises meals all day, icy cold beers, accommodation and souvenirs. We tested out the beer and a burger with the lot and a vegeburger which all hot the spot. there are many humorous quotes written on placards hanging from the ceiling and a lot of photos depicting some of the movies that have been filmed in the area. There is also a madmax themed VW beetle parked out front. Silverton Hotel offers extensive indoor and outdoor seating and tables.  

 Meadow Glen Rest area is located at Cubba on The Barrier Hwy 63 kilometers west of Cobar and 197 kilometers east of Wilcannia. Drivers wishing to take a break from dodging the hundreds of goats along the edge of this highway will find this stop ideal. This rest area has space to overnight out of the way well back from the highway. There are toilets and bins provided.  

 A great hotel to stop for a meal in Nevertire is the Nevertire Hotel on the Mtchell Hwy close to the juction of the Oxley Hwy. A large parking area across the road and plenty on either indoor or outdoor seating in the hotel. Food we had was really good and judging by the amount of others ordering meals it is a popular place.

 A great hotel option in Gilgandra NSW the Railway Hotel allows free caravan camping at the side with rear lane access for customers. The Railway Hotel Gilgandra offers great meals with friendly service. Our overnight stay was quiet and meals in the hotel excellent.

 Royal Hotel Spring Ridge has an area at the rear for vans and RV's to park overnight. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere especially seeing how busy this area is during harvest time days before rain forecast. Spring Ridge is just under 50 klm's from Quirindi.  

 The Tourist Hotel at Sandy Hollow has a huge area at the rear for caravans and RV's. We checked at the bar before driving in and were invited to park out the back anywhere we liked. Meals here were great, we actually had a late lunch just before the kitchen closed and returned later for dinner. Beats cooking for ourselves! There is a little train noise in the distance but nothing to really disturb sleep during the night.

 Located at rear of The Royal Hotel Deman is a newly upgraded area with caravan and RV bays roadbased and turf beside each bay plus the area is fenced behind the main car park providing a private secure area. We asked at the bar before driving in and were told no problem at all just park in any of the spots behind the main car park beside the hotel. Main street of Denman is just around the corner with shops and cafe's. Distant train noise but nothing to really disturb sleep during the night.

 The Grey Gum Cafe Putty is one of the only rest areas on Putty Road offering toilets and showers for a small fee and free overnight camping. They do not have any garbage service due to remoteness so please take all your waste with you to dispose of responsibly elsewhere. The area is huge with plenty of spots to stop for the night, the owners offered us to park anywhere we liked. Please support the owners with patronage of the cafe if open and be prepared to pay the very small fee if requiring a hot shower.
