    Quiet place to spend the night. Clean and plenty of room. We spent 2 nights here using it as a base for the nearby springs. Morning birds chorus were a beautiful touch to wake up to.

    Close to the road so a bit of noise. Level parking and we were all alone. Good stop just north of Mataranka.

    Stayed here for 1 night, nice and sucluded with shade from trees. You can still hear the highway but not too much. Lots of ants though and toilet paper around... At least you know where to avoid walking!

    Good starting point if you want to spend a day in Mataranka. A small place with a garbage can, right next to the highway.

    Good spot. A few separate spaces away from the highway. And reception is there if you needs it and plenty of stars to gaze upon

    Good little rest area. When looking at the right hand side of the highway be careful as it’s just a little gravel turn off! No facilities but it’s very close to Mataranka and the springs so a great base if you want to explore the area for free!

    Nice spot for the night, not marked as a designated camping area but it is an awesome area off the road and hidden behind trees. Some road noise but still a great sleep. Not too many bugs, a few bites but no where near as bad as some places.
