Hi Rocket - I just googled it, and looks like no camping at all. You can do 48 hours at Kershaw Gardens - good spot, and there is another 48 hour one at Yaamba. Check out and see if Gracemere have a showgrounds. Or some of the other towns close to Rocky. When are you going to be there?

Gracemere caravan park is reasonably priced if you can't find a goof freeby. I would prefer to stay there rather than Kershaw Gardens.

Kershaw Gardens are terrific - here at the moment - quiet, bit of road noise but not bad. Easy to find very well located. I had a medical issue, and needed to stay an extra two nights, no problem.

Great spot - though no facilities, except for rubbish bins, plenty of them. Rangers come around morning and afternoon - we asked if we could a few extra days, as have an appointment on Monday - no problem. They are deadly on whizz bangs though!
