What people say
Excellent place to camp… gets busy with backpackers later in the afternoon. Drop toilets were cleaned when we stayed for two nights. Get in early for a great spot.
Campground is down into the valley. Campfires were lit and lots of smoke around. Great if you don't mind but it doesn't easily clear up. There are two toilets available but both taps to wash hands aren't working. Disabled parking for one campspot available but when there it was occupied by someone who didn't look disabled and no sticker displayed on car. Plenty of spots for tents, but if you have a caravan, you're limited by those car camping who should be occupying the smaller spaces available.
Beautiful spot! Nice and quiet and there’s a little creek that runs through the middle of the camp ground. 2wd cars can enter! No showers or power but there are pit toilets.
Nice free camping spot, very full! Even in the offseason. No flushing toilets, few benches, no water. Very friendly foxes coming out at evening/night, looking for food. Not scared at all, the came within a few centimeters of distance. But don't let them fool you! They look very cute but they steal your shoes at night so don't leave them outside. I lost a pair of Birkenstocks and woke up to 4 other campers searching the bushes for shoes. I also wouldn't leave any food outside.
1⃣️ Great free camping ground surrounded by beautiful bushes, good to explore around. Well-built fire pit is handy. Need to bring your own drinking water, no flush toilets, facilities got some small spiders inside and sink has no running water - needs better maintenance. 2⃣️ Limited spaces (8-10) compared to other site near near blue mountain. Arrived on Saturday morning but most of the places next to river has been taken. Over the night many mini vans came and got quite packed. Group of people played loud music until late midnight which was quite annoying… If it’s quite, you can hear the water sound and sleep 👍🏻
