The campsites are in the valleys at the bottom. Not great for observing if you're taking a scope.
For amateur stargazing there is a nicer spot - Mt Kaputar, where there is a campsite on the peak at 1450m among snow gums with a permanent spring and hot showers, a lovely place in midsummer, and a couple of excellent observing sites away from the campsite.
Of course visit Coonabarabran on the way past.
