Great Free Camping Spot....


We are at this great free camping spot which is also in Camps 5 but with a slight change...  Hotel is under new management and welcomes all travellers....
Stop 80 is now at the back of the Retreat Hotel it has still no power or water BUT Free toilets, Free showers and also Free Laundry.... meals in pub are great and very reasonable priced and beer is very cold.... Stay as long as you want there is room for everyone.... it is lovely and quiet even though you are not to far from Peak Downs H/way....

Have a good one everyone and drive safely.....

Perhaps you could give us some idea of exactly where, what state and what town. Sounds like a really great spot and when I know will mark it is my Camps Aus as a winner.

Please dont be offended, but might I suggest you repost this in the correct area, look for the heading FREE CAMPING.
And put in full details location etc. so others who may be intrested can locate it
Cheers

I don't think anyone was trying to be "smart" Welcome.  Just having a bit of fun in the good old Aussie way.

Sorry if my comments offended you.

My husband is a Victorian and he gives as good as he gets.  It's all in fun.
