We drove from Dubbo to Bourke and arrived at Kidmans Camp about 3 o'clock in the afternoon where we stayed overnight.
When we were booking in we noticed that they were offering a Campfire Dinner with Poetry Readings by the local born Andrew Hull who is the renowned Bard of Bourke. We had not made any arrangements for dinner so we booked in for the dinner along with quite a good number of other guests.
We could select our own site so we chose a grassy patch not far from the amenities block and the swimming pool. The Camping area is well managed and kept in good order. The amenities blocks were clean and in good order including the laundry facilities which included washing machines and dryers.
The camping area is about 7 klms from Bourke which is not a bad thing as security is not so much a worry than if it was close to town.
We went to the Poetry reading and enjoyed the meal served up from a small kitchen area where we sat around campfires and listened to Andrew Hull who read poetry that he had written about the local areas. It was a lovely balmy night and we enjoyed the experience.
Our overall experience was good and we decided that we would stay here again on our return trip which we did. The Campfire Dinner was not on offer the second time as it is only on selected nights There was a food outlet not far from the campsite heading back towards Bourke where we could buy any snack meals that we wanted.
