When I go camping I always go to places like Port Macquarie, Manning Point, Harrington etc. They are like 4 5 hours away from Sydney. And they have GREAT fishing spots, especially Forster-Tuncurry.

Free Camping Grounds in NSW, Australia, Preferably close to the Central Coast?
Beck W
Hi there. I want to go camping with some friends, but we want to spend our money on food etc.
Wondering if anybody could help me find a, or some, FREE camping grounds in NSW, Australia. I've looked some up on the internet, but there's going to be quite a lot of us, and we don't particularly want to have to travel to far, like State Forest NSW, or Kangaroo Valley...
We would prefer it closer to the Central Coast, but not somewhere like Toowoon Bay or something, thats boring somewhere fun XD
Approx. a 40min-1hr drive from the Central Coast would be good, or maybe even from the Entrance, NSW Australia, if anyone knows where that is...
PLEASE HELP! :(
Answer
Good question.
As I'm interested in doing some weekend camping trips up the coast, I'm researching cheap camping in that area as well. So any other ideas from other's would be useful.
I think you'll be lucky to find any site which has free camping along the central coast.
All the "non-boring" places along the central coast, generally only have caravan park camping sites (which are obviously not free, due to their location & facilities).
And most of the more basic camp-sites, which generally aren't in the popular tourist areas, are run by NSW National parks.
According to the NRMA wedsite, http://www.openroad.com.au/travel_camping_campingonthecentralcoast.asp, the Bouddi National Park & the Munmorah State Recreation Area has bush camping facilities.
Check here for more details about the sites http://www.wildwalks.com/office/office/summary-of-campsites-near-sydney.html
For basic facilities, charging up to $14 per adult & $7 for per car, is still not what I'd consider "cheap" camping
If you want a relaxing weekend, and don't mind entertaining yourself, I can recommend the near-by Hawkesbury region . Whilst not free, the area has (water) ski parks which have adequate camping facilities (like hot showers, flush toilets and bbq's ) .
The fees are reasonable (I got charged only $9 to bicycle-camp overnight at the NSW Ski Gardens, near Wisemans ferry) & the area is very scenic.

And if you are prepared to travel a bit further from the coast, I found this good website, which lists free camping spots in NSW.
