Another spot usually bypassed for the bigger towns, has very roomy sites, quite cheap, below $20per night powered site. 14 days stay, very quiet. Caretaker very helpful, spotless facilities. Iga in town (just up the road) for shopping. Pet friendly (dogs must be on lead and poo picked up)

Waffleightis · Waffleightis

Another budget camp spot for all kinds of rigs from x-large to x-small. Below $20/night powered. Caretaker is wonderful and is very knowledgeable about the area, there is tonnes of space for all to spread out. Very quiet spot that is pet friendly.
