    Currently the toilet block is out of order - there's no running water. The closure is not well signed and the block is accessible which means the toilets are full and can't be flushed! Pretty grim and not ideal since we're not self contained. If you dont need a toilet, its a lovely spot with a 15 min walk to the gorge, some benches and bins. Super quiet with very little passing traffic.

    Great free camp with basic amenities - flushing toilets and picnic tables. It gets busy during the day but quiet at night. We enjoyed staying here with our self-contained caravan.

    Great quiet spot in the trees next to the river. We had it to ourselves so it was beautiful. **Attentoon - all the toilets were out of order when we were here**

    It's a good little campground in the moddle of the forest and close to the river. It was really quiet, only 1 person there and the toilets are old but really clean. Theres sheltered picnic tables. But no telstra connection

    This is a beautiful, quiet place to spend an evening with basic toilet facilities which are clean enough. We imagine things could be a little busier in the busy season a few weeks from now. A 15-minute walk from the site takes you through bush along the river edge and back to the site near the river over bridge. This is a perfect break when driving between Strahan and Wynyard as we were. Note that there is absolutely no mobile signal whatsoever - voice or data.

    Great quiet stop over, has flushing toilets and small sheltered picnic tables. No lighting anywhere. Limited spots, but there are informal sites across the road amongst the forest if it gets busy.

    Great spot next to a beautiful creek. No lights in toilets. Quiet and remote.

    Amazing spot. We only stopped for tomato and peanut butter sandwiches but decided to stay the night.

    Only one (or two ) standalone sites. Beautiful setting along the prettiest short trail to the nearby bridge & 10 to 15 minutes walk along the forested brook / river and back. A super stop or stay. Hygiene consideration:- Loos / dunny is clean.

    Arrive at 9:30pm at night, there are no street lights and it is dark to go to the external toilets. You need to bring your own lighting equipment. At night, remember not to open the door for too long and there will be light-tending bugs running in. The peaceful forest is suitable for sleeping. It is a good free camp! (I am a friend from Taiwan)
