A caravan park in a rural NSW town has become the scene of a homicide investigation after a woman's body was found in a tent and a man covered in blood was arrested.
A 29-year-old man was arrested this morning after the woman's body was found at a Gunnedah Tourist Caravan Park on Henry Street in Gunnedah, in the state's central north, at 8.20am today.
Chief Inspector Michael Wurth said police were met at the property by a man covered in blood, with the woman's body located in a tent shortly after.

"Police were called to a disturbance at a caravan park, on arrival police were confronted by a male person with blood on him," Wurth said.
"Investigations revealed a person in a nearby tent was seriously injured."
He described the scene as "traumatic."
Ambulances were called but the woman died at the scene.
A knife was found at the scene and was seized.
There was an initial commotion at the property which led to police being called, Wurth said.
