Three Creeks Tourist Gold Mine

Three Creeks Tourist Gold Mine is a working gold mine with an attached tourist park near Bingara in northern New South Wales. The accommodation is basic but practical, offering powered and unpowered sites for caravans and tents right on the mine grounds. It’s not flash, but it’s a solid spot if you want to muck about with a bit of gold panning and stay somewhere a bit different.

The booking is by request rather than instant, so you’ll need to plan ahead. Facilities include toilets and showers, but don’t expect a full-on holiday park setup. If you’re after quiet and a bit of hands-on history, it fits the bill. Keep in mind, Bingara is a small country town, so stock up on supplies before you get there.
