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.

We just love this location. We have been there several times. The man running the place is a bit of a grumpy fella but he stays out of your way. You are on the beautiful Wollondilly River, in your own area, not stacked up against others. Easy vehicle and caravan/camper access. Very basic facilities bu...
