G'Day Billy,

We were given a gift voucher for two nights & breakfast in a nice resort which is very popular and that is the earliest we could get in Billy, so will take the van and do a couple of other stays while we are down that way. Yes, I know, will be rotten weather and cold !! Have to use the voucher before an expiry date.

Camps 7 suggest small vehicles only. How would we go with a 20' van?

We were there in August 2012, we didn't have a caravan (campervans only) however the camp hosts had a caravan.

Would suggest check this out with Pemberton Tourist Bureau or DEC whatever they call them now, however did notice that when you turn off Big Brook Road to the campground ( that is after driving past the dam, bitumen turns into gravel, turn off further down on the left about a km down) as you drive down the turn off you will see a left turn into the campground, do not take this turn off as some of the branches were overhanging a bit when we were down there, however continuing on the main turn off road there is another turn off to the left further down which is very open and leads into the southern side of the campground which would be more suitable for a caravan or higher vehicle (motorhome?).
