Hi, read article about free camping at Wilks Pk, Wagga Wagga and other towns considering this also. It is my opinion, they can shut it down, put limits on, whatever. It is the businesses in that town that will miss out because people at the free camp won't go to the caravan park if they don't want to, they...
