I saw the comments about the campsitat ear the Nindigully Pub: is this spot suitable for a weeks camp. Can you light a camp fire there and are there any yabbies in the river? Appreciate some advice. Thanks. I am looking for a camp site for two families in the September school holidays.

G'day
Yea you can camp for a week or more, just spend some money in the pub, yabbies' good luck with catching them very few and far between. Fires ok be prepared for huge numbers of campers.
cheers

Gday...
All of the above - great camp ... and if it looks like rain, either plan for an extra cuppla days to dry out ... or leave before the rain arrives.
It gets wet, and sticky, quickly

Great spot - and the best spots fill quickly. Meal at the pub is really good - free showers there as well.

Never been there but I remember seeing a post somewhere saying don't camp too close to the river, apparently where it is most boggy.
Also that someone at or near the pub charges a fee for pulling out bogged vehicles with their tractor, not cheap apparently.
Maybe someone who has been there can elaborate on that

Thanks for your reply's everyone, much appreciated. But has anyone caught any yabbies there? Just want to have some fun with the kids. I caught plenty of yabbies recently at St George, just two weeks ago, if anyone's interested.

The best time to get yabbies is from August through to April. They go down and hibernate during the winter months.

we went and yes it did rain the first night and yes it becomes very slipper if i were you i would camp up top not down by the river thats the best shot, we camped down by the river and we still got out but one more day of rain and we woulda been stuck i reckon.
also they charge a hefty fee to pull you out (as usual) we didnt eat the food but have heard its good not real cheap though the yabbies well we didnt give that a shot either as we only stayed one night due to the weather we then went onto a diff free camps site that was only 2 nights but we stayed three i cant remember the name of it but rocky lizard will remember im sure.
enjoy your stay :)

We went through there about a month ago. There is now a raised concrete walking track a bit back from the river so the absolute water frontage sites have gone. The good news from that is that all the river is now accessable, not just between those riverfront sites.
While at the pub, try the Road Train Burger. It is advertised as good for one to four people. Costs $50 so save up before you get there.

Thanks for that. Is there access to drop a tinny into the river at this campsite and is the river negotiable by small boat.
