A three-year-old boy has been found safe and well 18 hours after he wandered from a campsite near Mudgee in the NSW central west during the Easter long weekend.


James Skillen was last seen at about 5pm on Saturday at a campsite with his family on a property on Old Ilford Road, Razorback, about 69km south of Mudgee.


He was found “safe and well just before midday on Sunday”, a NSW Police spokeswoman confirmed to AAP.


A large-scale search group including police, sniffer dogs, NSW Ambulance, the Rural Fire Service, SES, the NSW Volunteer Rescue Association and locals spent the night and Sunday morning searching the rugged terrain which included several dams.


Overnight temperatures dropped to 15C and the mercury had hit 33C by midday Sunday.


The track where James was found is approximately five kilometres from where he was last seen.


“The boy is being flown back to the command post where he will be reunited with family and assessed by NSW Ambulance paramedics,” police said.
