Great place to come camp overnight. The space is small but it's free and has toilets and a shower. Once you enter through the driveway to the park, theres a specified area on the left of the oval where you can park and camp overnight (only on the gravel - no tents on the grass) When we went, construction workers were drilling holes in the ground to mark camping spots with poles and signs. Can only stay for 2 nights max. Friendly pub and IGA store are very close by and locals are very laid back.

It was amazing, it was oval shaped and covered in grass. What more could you want or need?

I strongly encourage anyone to take the twenty minute picturesque drive off the M1 if you're looking for a lovely spot to free-camp for the night (Edit: Unfortunately no camping is permitted anymore)Jambaroo is a gorgeous little town with a lively pub and an IGA if you need groceries. The bakery makes excellent pies which I can highly recommend.
