    Campers hoard those two spaces before allowed camping hours, unfortunately.

    I stayed here last night, arrived at 5:30p.m. parked and had no issues and no other camper got here. Library WIFI is available and the toilet is close by. It's in the middle of town so everything is in walking distance. Because of the bar\restaurant there was some noice every now and then, but still fine. On the sign for camping is no mention of the time and I didn't have problems, but that could have been because it's winter and during the week.

    Great location right in town, no more than 5 minute walk to everything and library has wifi you can use. Stayed 2 nights, first night no problem but unfortunately on the second night, drunk people coming out the pub opposite tried to get into our van so we had to leave. It was a Friday night so town was a little busier but I’m sure this wouldn’t be a problem during the week. Sign saying 8pm-8am, we arrived around 6pm and had no problems and were also the only camper staying here.

    Low tree branches covering both of the two available sites so watch your height, and council warned of possible fines if parking here before 8pm. While handy to town, bars, and restaurants, your better off grabbing some supplies and heading to the river reserve.

    Great location for the springs, spots fill early. Signs not clear regarding parking during the day.
