The park has been open around 3 weeks. The owners have worked really hard to bring it out of the disrepair that they found it in. Can take arou...

Another spot usually bypassed for the bigger towns, has very roomy sites, quite cheap, below $20per night powered site. 14 days stay, very quiet. Caretaker very helpful, spotless facilities. Iga in town (just up the road) for shopping. Pet friendly (dogs must be on lead and poo picked up)

Waffleightis · Waffleightis

Another budget camp spot for all kinds of rigs from x-large to x-small. Below $20/night powered. Caretaker is wonderful and is very knowledgeable about the area, there is tonnes of space for all to spread out. Very quiet spot that is pet friendly.

The free camp at cooktown is very dissapointing, you must have not only a black water tank but also a grey water tank and your van will be inspected by a very zealous ranger. If you meet the requirements you can stay for 2 nights. It is also on a dirt road that carries a lot of traffic making a lot of dust and no...

Staying here for one night. Very impressed with what is here. Really good toilets/showers, laundry 3bucks, top class camp kitchen, power water, a little bit of noise from the road. All for 18 bucks per night for 2 people. Robert

We just love this location. We have been there several times. The man running the place is a bit of a grumpy fella but he stays out of your way. You are on the beautiful Wollondilly River, in your own area, not stacked up against others. Easy vehicle and caravan/camper access. Very basic facilities bu...
