    The toilets at this campsite are closed. The next ones are on the other side of the river. (At Calliope South Campsite)

    Both north and south areas are open again and it is quite popular. We chose the north side as it is more quiet. Beautiful spot.

    It is temporarily closed, but at the entrance of the road there are several caravans camping in another area.

    Unfortunately, as of the 20th of March 2026 the camp site is closed until further notice. However, it seems like everyone who wanted to camp there just stayed at the parking area but there are no facilities.

    Nice spot for the night. Public toilets are closed on the Northern side of the river. Slight road noise, to be expected. Lovely view over the river and nice easy walk down to the river. Plenty of people kayaking, boating and fishing.

    Good spot by the river. Toilets on the north side are closed. Bridge is closed to vehicles but you can walk across. It is a 5 minute walk from the barrier on the north side to the toilets on the south side. Some noise from the highway but we’ve had worse. Decent 4G coverage from Vodafone.

    Stayed in North Camp ground, Toilets are permanently closed, no water available, Campsites are very nice and grassy, some areas with river views and overlooking the South Camp, only spoiled by one camper throwing their rubbish into the river. The Historical Village near by is excellent, in walking distance from the north camp. Well worth a visit. Note: very popular spot, we arrived around 9.30am and the place with full by 10.30

    The North toilets are always closed and the South toilets are not very clean. The access (bridge) between the two camps is closed to cars but possible to cross on foot. Camp Nord much better for parking (space and flat places). A truly gigantic campsite. A very good free stop on the road
