About a 20 minute drive from Kew, and roughly an hour from Taree or Kempsey, is Swans Crossing. Popular with locals and visitors alike, this camping and picnic area in Kerewong State Forest is set on former farmland. The Swan family ran a dairy and beef property on the site for many years, including clearing the forest and establishing grasses for the stock. This continued until 1964 when the area became State forest and was regenerated as native forest including hardwood plantation areas. Swans Crossing is located alongside the shallows of Upsalls Creek, a great place to cool off on a hot day. The campground and picnic area is wide, predominantly flat, open and grassed. A children's nature playground is also on site for families, as are picnic tables and toilets. Longworths Tramway Heritage Walk is located a short drive away, with other walking tracks leading off from the site including Cascade Walking Track. Caravans and campervans are welcome at Swans Crossing. Camping is free.
