Coolah Tops looks good, thanks David.
It is north west of Merriwa so it meets Glen's location criteria.
I just spoke to the NP people and the cottage is a FLAT $30 per night, so that among 6 to 12 is not much, (but note, 5 beds but no mattresses).
Alternatively, the Camp grounds themselves are currently no charge (unusual for a NP). Also, no park entry fee. 3 campgrounds.
Barracks camp ground seems best with some clear (from trees) spots.
May be worth a visit?
Anyone want to come along?

There is also Coolah Tops NP. I've stayed at The Pines camping area and it is nice but there are too many trees. The pine trees are also home to about 200 sulphur-crested cockies so the daylight hours are never quiet.
However you should consider Brackens Cottage. It is BYO-almost-everything but it is a roof over your head and it has an indoor fire place. I've been there, but not overnight, and the hut was clean enough. It has a water tank but I'd still take my own drinking water. There is heaps of flat open grassy space around the hut. Elevation is >1000m. What's not to like?
